A PowerPoint version of this talk is at http://www.slideshare.net/edsonm/michael-edson-lego-beowulf-and-the-web-of-hands-and-hearts-for-the-danish-national-museum-awards
This talk was delivered at the awards ceremony for the 2012 Bikuben Foundation Danish Museum Prize (Bikubenfondens Museumspriser) in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Ideas about what museums are, who they serve, and the role they play in society are changing with dramatic speed, driven largely by social media and the participatory culture of global networks.
Denmark supports world-class museums, with remarkable collections, expert staff, and beautiful architecture. But how can museum leaders balance the traditional concepts of organizational mission and outcomes with the disruptive possibilities being demonstrated by those who love and use museums in new ways?

Shaking Hands with the Future: Culture and Heritage at a Moment Full of ChangeMichael Edson
Keynote for the congress of the Network Oorlogsbronnen (Netherlands WWII data network), Amsterdam, The Netherlands
2 November 2021.
Note that some of the text/callouts seem hard to read w. SlideShare's new compression scheme — sorry about that! Probably best to download the show and view it in PowerPoint, or, I've put a link to a PDF version on slide 2 (and the links work on the PDF version too!)
(This is the second version of these slides. The previous version was for some reason flagged as suspicious by SlideShare and made irrevocably un-shareable.)
Digital Culture and the Shaking Hand of ChangeMichael Edson
The presentation shows how to create and use a "problem space" to organize complex challenges. The central metaphor for the talk is the "civic handshake" — a process by which different parts of society cooperate through the informal exchange of information and the sharing of responsibilities.

"Michael opens this anthology by establishing why it is crucial for the cultural heritage sector to seize the opportunity offered by the Internet and digitization to reach global populations and make a difference in their lives. Through many years of pioneering efforts within the field of digital technologies, and generous sharing of expertise and advice, Michael has inspired institutions worldwide to dare working more openly and inclusively with the users’ knowledge and creativity."

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

An Ignite talk
First reading: Museum Computer Network annual meeting
November 7, 2012 | Seattle, WA

Director, Web and New Media Strategy
Smithsonian
Institution, Washington, D.C.
2. [ To be recited in the slam poetry style ]
Video at http://youtu.be/cTOC17b1yQY
2
3. [Slide 1]
In the Age of Sail we once were rooted.
For 5,000 years it constituted
a world shaping
epoch making
record breaking
human being technology.
This cannot be disputed.
[Slide 2]
From the time of the Pharos to the first steam boats
if you wanted to move some goods,
some goats,
send a scientific treatise „bout the sexual life of motes…
Fight a war against a foreign nation.
Take your kids on a round-the-world vacation.
1
4. [Slide 3]
To move anything across the seas,
your only hope,
was for a sail upon a boat upon the breeze.
Only a fool would row,
could bear to go that slow
if they were in the know.
[Slide 4]
Now, don‟t get me wrong. I imagine a case, where a captain of
reason, would, with no treason, reason rowing over breezin‟.
And I sometimes prefer a book in my hands to bits on a screen.
It seems an old book may help my mind dream.
[Slide 5]
And the slow dirty gravel of “the path less traveled”
seems not to unravel
the work of the travel,
but gives a sense of joy, to a boy,
and a girl,
with somewhere to go and time to get gone…
2
5. [Slide 6]
But when the task that‟s at hand,
like yours, is so grand.
And the mission you‟re dishin‟ has frisson.
I mean, when you‟re jizzin’.
Why row?
Why bow low? You must stand.
[Slide 7]
„Cause today here‟s our planet: a hot, packed piece of granite.
World‟s on fire, and we fan it?
It‟s in trouble, we must jam it!
We must man, and wo-man it.
Not spam it,
with old tools that waste time: lame deeds that don‟t rhyme.
3
6. [Slide 8]
Why wield a small hammer?
When you can jam her with a rammer?!
Why have a museum? So you can see „em?
Be „em?
…Getting foolish pride from taking small strides?
Your inside museum guides giving tiny little rides
[Slide 9]
in hoity-toity halls of art filled walls.
And empty spaces full of cases
telling children boring stories „bout the evolution of the
races…
While the masses—brilliant masses—all the classes—wait
patiently outside?
That‟s not a museum,
it‟s a mausoleum.
4
7. [Slide 10]
I do love art—it fills the cart in the quickie mart of my happy
heart.
The coffee table bablei ain‟t no fable.
Dance and music make me stable.
To a soul beyond the pale
there‟s nothing finer
than a science center model whale.
But…
[Slide 11]
If the wale don‟t scale it‟s a planetary fail.
WE MUST SCALE.
We can scale.
We can move new ideas, „cross the “C‟s”ii
in the Age of Scale.
5
8. [Slide 12]
„Cause it‟s not just a rumor
that the consumer
ain‟t no dumb „boomeriii
with no hands, heartiv, or sense of humor.
She‟s a smart, caring soul.
She‟s got friends. They can roll
a trillion hours a year of civic action surplus on your ass.v
[Slide 13]
(—Shirky told me this is so.)
Take it. Go.
No longer passive:
public heads hands and voices now are massive.
Network action makes old-school broadcast reaction a
distraction to this powerful new faction:
3 billion people, connected, on the web.
6
9. [Slide 14]
They‟ll tag your bits, hit your hits, grind your grits, pop your
zits, give you fits, then take you to the Ritz.
Solve your problems, make „em theirs.
Take away a thousand planetary cares.
Cure your ulcer.
Hack your culture.
[Slide 15]
Your museum should be theirs for the taking:
You EXIST to maximize their making.
Be assured that old taboos they are breaking - -
a fine new recipe they‟re delighted to be baking.
[Slide 16]
