A platform for privat oral history

Following my post yesterday about the way in which RFID tags have been used in an exhibition, today I visited Mediamatic a Dutch digital / arts company who do some really exciting work.

In dem ca. 20-minütigen Vortrag geht es um die Frage, wie Kultureinrichtungen erfolgreich ins Social Web starten: Unter welchen Voraussetzungen funktioniert Social Marketing? Wie erstellt man ein Social Media Konzept? Wie misst man Erfolg? etc. Auf der startconference im September wurden diese und ähnliche Fragen bereits beantwortet. Folglich kommt der Großteil des präsentierten Inhalts nicht von mir, sondern von den verschiedenen Sprechern der stART.10.

Warum endet dieser Workshop ein wenig müde und emotionslos? Bloggen, das Hauptthema des Nachmittags, scheint nett zu sein, im deutschsprachigen Raum allerdings etwas für Aussenseiter und Newcomer, nicht nur die Masse der Wissenschaftler. Blogs scheinen eine Randerscheinung zu sein, nicht nur für diejenigen, die sie - nicht - lesen, sondern auch für diejenigen, die sie schreiben. So könnte man zunächst knapp das Ergebnis dieses Tages, besonders des Nachmittags, zusammen fassen.

The Andy Warhol Museum released the AR Mobile App 'Layar'. "The Layar turns your mobile device into an augmented-reality viewer. By adding The Andy Warhol Museum Layar, you'll be able to view locations pivotal in Andy Warhol's life and work overlayed on real-time images from your device's camera. View locations in Pittsburgh, PA and New York, NY and dive into related information and photos prepared by The Warhol's education curators." [the warhol]

Success with digital media for museums, education and cultural organisations isn't about scrambling to sign up to the latest fads, those teasmades of technology, and more about attitudes of organisations and the individuals within them. What are the handles we can grab hold of to begin or better develop our journeys into digital media use in the world of exhibition, performances or engagement of new audiences? It tries to make a few points, some more successfully than others, no doubt. Key amongst them:- how to institutions do better what is now so easy for everyman to do?- is there anything to be learned from the world of startups where coming up with a compelling problem that needs solved? What are the problems museums manage to solve? Do they need to think in that way at all?- what potential is there for cultural organisations to open themselves up to new audiences by tackling the same content and ideas in alternative ways and on different platforms?

Bletchley Park was the site of the United Kingdom's main codebreaking facility during the second world war. This is the place where the Enigma code that was used to encrypt military communications by Nazi Germany was broken. This is said to have brought the war in Europe to an end two years earlier than if the Enigma code had not been decrypted. This is a collection of interviews with people who worked there

Design Lessons from Storytellers Alternative Uses of Storytelling The use of storytelling can be found in team-building, training and marketing. A short story may be used as an introduction, so that everybody starts to adjust their mindset to absorb and reflect the emotions and feelings embedded in the story and what comes next. You may find stories in business presentations, carefully written by content strategists, in advertising and, of course, in copywriting. It is easy to see how words and speech in different contexts can tell stories. We are used to reading and hearing stories, but how can you help tell a story with design?

Methods listing - a complete listing of methods

People & Participation is based on Involve's successful book by the same name which was launched in 2005. The book provides a useful summary of participatory methods and practice but given the number of methods and speed of the development of new methods it is impossible for a printed publication to stay accurate for long
