Programme B
Monday 2 March – Friday 6 March 2009
To what extent does the web visitor have agency to ‘act back’ or to
‘author’ their interactions with museum websites?
How is new media being conceived as an ‘interpretative’ or
‘augmenting’ dimension of the museum experience and with what effects?
How do museums see and understand the value of the use of personal
mobile media within the museum?
These questions have been grouped under the title ‘Resolutely
Analogue? Art Museums in Digital Culture’ to signal the tension
between change and continuity, between new media enthusiasms and
traditional museological practices. Issues such as the use of media in
the gallery centered on authority and provenance, ownership and
copyright, and user engagement will also be discussed throughout the
week’s programme.
