What shopping will look like in the future - 1 views

  •  
    For one who finds shopping in stores a form of recreation, I hope the Brave New World of retail won't take away our real time fun (not that I don't spend tons of time already on retail sites, but I still like to go to the store and feel the merchandise). Trying on a top in a virtual dressing room just isn't the same as wearing it. Oh well, maybe I also will be able to virtually "feel" it-but. . .

The value of data - 0 views

  •  
    61% of respondents globally are more likely to buy from a brand that allows them to touch and feel the products wherever they are: in a store or on the net. What this reflects is that technology is delivering - and will more so in the future - a more complete and engaging sensory experience through a combination of graphics, sound, and even scent.

How Germany Changed Its Mind, and Gave Benin Bronzes Back to Nigeria - The New York Times - 2 views

  • by a changing social consensus about the ethics of holding on to such items, and further strengthened by a backlash against Germany’s flagship cultural project: the Humboldt Forum,
  • Germany’s approach also contrasts with those of the United States and British governments, which have left decisions up to individual institutions
  • some of the most important museums in England cannot return their Benin Bronzes, even if they wanted to, without a change in the law. That includes the British Museum, which owns about 900 of the artifacts, arguably the world’s finest collection.

  • a key turning point there occurred in 2019, amid growing public pressure.
  • a rising awareness in Germany of its own colonial crimes — including the killing of tens of thousands of Nama and Herero people in what is now Namibia. The atrocity, carried out between 1904 and 1908, is widely seen as the first genocide of the 20th century.
  • Until then, the main vehicle for discussing the return of the Benin Bronzes had been the Benin Dialogue Group, a network founded in 2010 that brought together Nigerian representatives and figures from European museums with bronzes in their collections. The group, however, favored loans over transfers of ownership.
  • The agreement stipulated that all objects that had been obtained “unethically” would be liable for return and directed institutions to facilitate claims by producing publicly available inventories.
  • obstacles remained on the Nigerian side. Although the country had requested the return of the bronzes since the 1970s, there was conflict over who would take ownership of the artifacts. Both the Nigerian government and the oba of Benin, whose family ruled the historical Kingdom of Benin from which they were looted, claimed that they owned the items. Godwin Obaseki, the governor of Edo State, where Benin City is, said he acted as a facilitator to resolve the dispute.
  • Ultimately, he said, the oba’s family, Nigeria’s museum commission and the government of Edo State agreed to join a trust together, with independent directors that oversee the construction and operation of the new museum.
  • the agreement allows for 168 pieces chosen by Nigeria’s museum commission to remain in Germany “so that Benin’s art can be shown to the world.” The approximately 350 other bronzes that were part of the Berlin museum collections will be transported to Nigeria once the pavilion is completed.

  • It remains unclear who will pay for the shipment and insurance of the remaining items in Germany, and he noted that the bronzes’ storage and upkeep will come at a considerable cost, including electrical bills for climate control.
  •  
    The foreign minister's trip is the culmination of a yearslong process that upended Germany's approach to handling cultural items unjustly obtained during the colonial period. It is also part of a pioneering model for large-scale restitution, in which ownership is swapped before any artifacts change hands. Crucially, that approach allows for items to be restituted even if the country of origin does not yet have the facilities to store and exhibit them.

trendwatching.com's April 2013 Trend Briefing covering the consumer trend "CLEAN SLATE BRANDS" - 1 views

  •  
    Are museums utilizing e-retail to it's fullest potential?  How about celebrity curators for our stores?  
  •  
    Consumers trust new and 'clean slate' brands more and think they are better. Does this have any effect on museums who used to be/are still seen as trusted resources because they have a history of educating the public about art, history. science, etc.? Also, word of mouth marketing is where it's at!
