What is the museum's role in providing a "healthy diet" of media?  

I know Dan B. - who is co-leading this effort... I think the big story might be the architecture of the light tubes--- If they figure it out--we might see other applications that transform less valuable real estate into something more comfortable...

no doubt there has been good measure of skepticism and backlash; idea of walking around 'distracted' - or possibility of always recording-- lends to some dystopian images of the future... I'd say the TV was a similar technology that led to distraction/couch potato culture. (But we've moved on) This is more mobile - and in the world. I think it's exciting -- and needs some healthy skepticism. For CAMLF-- I look at these glasses- in more specific applications--where context is more controlled. Imagine the 'layering' of experiences. Providing visual learning element to the objects inside our walls Museum environments seem perfect--- even more so than (what I think is a poor vision) walking around public streets. In private situations for Google Goggles seems more ideal.. Maybe?

how would cloud be implemented differently if there was a terabyte of fast, static memory on our mobile devices?

It it shocking to see stats that say Califonia has 11,000 full-time and 28,000 part time employees n the Arts & Cultural Sector, but more than 155,000 volunteers and interns. No wonder there are no jobs -- people are willing to work in museums and cultural orgs for free. What do we do for our fellow professionals?

Should we be thinking about visitor personality rather than - or in addition to - age and other demographics?  

Are you a Utopian Futurist?  Or a Paster or Presentist?

Trust as economic "lubricant" - should we understand the neurochemicals of our visitors? Will hugs make them feel good about our museums?

Holacracy - reminds me a little bit of OMCA's org chart

What might the office building of today look like, or be used for, tomorrow?

Acres of unused space in conventional office buildings may be transformed into hotel rooms, classrooms, theaters or retail uses, architects and urban planners say.   And museums? Exhibition spaces? Pop-up?

Can you 3D print an airplane?  Maybe, but it'll be impractical.  But what if you could assemble one out of mass produced "digital" materials?

I live just a few miles from where the Pop-UP MANGo happened. I can tell you that while the community-participation aspect of this kind of "planning" is terrrific, it undermines overall city planning in terms of space use, traffic mitigation, and access. What's the proper balance?

Sit-able places are key, interdisciplinary focal points where the delight of "placemaking" and cultural traditions of "watching the world go by" merge with the sometimes conflicting domains of law and politics, economic development, public safety, gentrification and the homeless.

Passive surveillance...an outgrowth of proliferation of web-enabled devices and the resulting IoT. What our devices emit can tell more than we might want to share.
