he Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam claimed great success with its 2012 ‘Rijksstudio’, an app-like website allowing online visitors to curate, download and adapt its out-of-copyright artworks.
This approach to sharing heritage – opening it up to previously unreached audiences and allowing them to enjoy it freely and on their own terms – is something that was predicted by academics and practitioners writing in the early days of the internet (1997-2003). But, two decades later, the Rijksmuseum’s approach is still the exception rather than the rule, so why have so few cultural heritage organisations opened up their collections fully in this way? In this paper, I take the point of view of the practitioner, examining the day-to-day pressures and policies that may have created barriers to digitisation. By examining grey literature, mainly policy documents, I theorise that digitisation has proved challenging due to a ‘perfect storm’ of pressures from policymakers, external funding bodies and the costs and complexities of digitisation itself.

Participants are sought to take part in a collaborative investigation into the intriguing format of the scroll and the act of scrolling across different cultures and periods, considering both the timeless material object and its infinite conceptual space. Participants are sought from any field or discipline, and are likely to be academics (at all stages of their careers), museum professionals, or practicing artists.

Cultural Heritage as a Mean of Social Inclusion: Work in Progress in the Cult...Museums Computer Group

CultureLabs is an international project focusing on the role of culture and heritage in facilitating social inclusion. Wider and deeper community engagement in the heritage sector has been aided by digital technologies to engage communities who may feel disconnected from heritage institutions, such as migrants and refugees.
CultureLabs’ universities, heritage institutions, SMEs, and NGOs are developing a digital platform for facilitating participatory cultural projects with communities of migrants or refugees, and for sharing best practices.
Through pilots in three countries, the CultureLabs approach and technology will be developed and evaluated. The UK pilot is led by the People’s History Museum. As the UK approaches Brexit, PHM will engage communities in Greater Manchester to reflect on the theme of migration: they will meet, discuss, and explore what they have ‘More in Common’ and what it means to live in multicultural Britain. These events will lead to the co-production of an exhibition that reflects on the museum collection and the recently acquired Jo Cox memorial wall.
In the presentation, we will discuss how CultureLabs’ technology and pilots will create bridges between cultural institutions, migrants’ communities, and support communities to facilitate the design, execution and sharing of participatory projects for social inclusion.

Digital approaches for the arts - 2013 - Unthinkable ConsultingJustinSpooner
A set of slides from my talk for IT4Arts in February 2013. The focus of the talk was to look at a range of digital approaches that organisations and artists have used over the last few years and consider how we might apply the lessons learnt to our future activity. I have included some speaker's as part of the slides so that it makes more sense a stand-alone piece of content.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

13. NEW BEGINNING
People ralliedPeople changed and started thinking differently
“To anyone else, I was just another suburban Ottawa kid ambling around a museum on a quiet,
admission-free evening. But what no one else could see was that I — along with hundreds, even
thousands of unsuspecting students before and after me — was discovering a whole new dimension.”
– Emma Godmere — writer, radio producer and host

15. WITHOUT A BOX
— YOU DON’T THINK OUTSIDE OF ONE
You survive in a world drastically different
than what you once knew
21. Many born digital demand participation
End of didactic environments
New norm — co-creation not only of content but of strategy
22. People want the “real thing” and much, much more
Traditional “Unassailable Voice” challenged — we are no longer the source
of truth — too much content out in the world
23.
24. Release of data
Release of archives and content
Our physical walls came down
WE ARE MOVING TOWARDS
A FULL OPEN HERITAGE MODEL
• Why not lower our digital ones as well?
• Redefine what it means to be a museum in the 21st century
Release of all information — first open by default public institution
27. APPLY INDUSTRY INNOVATION MODELS
TO CULTURE
Good things happen
It is about the ecosystem now, not about bums in the seat
— The broader the ecosystem the more bums
Citizen input into strategic decisions
Redefine success — move away from linear research and
development to ecosystem and co-development
Internal and external use of knowledge — expert and
non-expert input into heritage development
29. DID WHAT YOU
WOULD EXPECT
OF US
Collection online
Mobile games (Ace Academy Black Flight)
Global reach (170+ countries)
3rd party applications
Increased travelling exhibitions
36. REACH Broke all-time attendance records in the process
From 4M to 13M to 22M — this FY (30M — eventual goal 70M per year)
37. LESSONS LEARNED
Redefine what makes a museum successful in this day and age — don’t wait for mould like we did!
Engagement, participatory heritage, co-creation, whatever term you use — in a digital world a must
for institutional survival
Don’t be linear or didactic — work in parallels, grow partners in the digital world, let others lead
Don’t be perfect — imperfection is key for co-development of culture
Think global first — local second — you will always be local
Merge into multimedia, not just exhibitions
39. NEXT STEPS
Linked networks of knowledge — my museum is not in Ottawa
Launch of our new infrastructure — as a global hub for digital culture,
not as a physical entity
New games — new partnerships (Ace Academy III)
