I wanted to share this thought with you.

What do you think – especially in the context of visualizing museum and collection data?
Does something like this already exist? What’s considered best practice? Who’s working on this?

Would love to hear your thoughts! 👇

The Dispersed Chinese Art Digitization Project bridges centuries and continents through digital reconstructions of major historical sites and artifacts – from the Zhihua Temple to the Six Horses of Zhaoling and Longmen Binyang Central Cave.

Led by the Center for the Art of East Asia at UChicago and Xi’an Jiaotong University, with major museum partners in China, Japan, and the US.

Ana Müller, Michael Schiffmann, Anke Neumeister and Anja Richert’s study explores the integration of social robots in museums, emphasizing real-world conditions. Visitors seek convenient information retrieval, posing challenges in developing robots with conversational skills and comprehensive knowledge. As social robots become integral in public spaces, understanding the balance between accuracy and control is pivotal for meaningful interactions. #SocialRobots #MuseumTech #HumanRobotInteraction

OK, so got an online design jam coming up 16th-18th November, exploring intersection of design justice, community centred/civic service design and GLAM data.

Sound interesting? Know people who'd be interested?

Well, sign up and share! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/749732840107

Any examples of accessible AND innovative/intriguing online collections design? Whether for Museums, online galleries, libraries, independent craft shops?

Some visually inspiring (but not especially accessible) examples from me:
