If a tree falls in a museum, and no one is there to hear it…
Australian IT policy advisor Pia Waugh has just posted the first of a series of four posts on online culture. This one, titled Unicorns and Doom, investigates some of the ways that the Internet is changing mainstream culture. As she writes Using the Internet changes your expectations of the world around you, and importantly your […]
A very quick post on practising what you preach
June 24, 2011
The Australia Council has just reached their new research report called Connecting:// art audiences online. I haven’t had a chance to have a full read of the report in depth just yet, but one thing leaped out at me this morning when I started looking through the website… The website, which contains pieces of advice […]
Who owns the virtual space in your museum?
June 12, 2011
