Museums Tech-novations & Meta-morphoses in the Post-Human Society
Research Goals and Objectives
With the rapid development of new technologies from AI to Blockchain to Metaverse, museums go through a chain of unstoppable rapid transformations, tech-novations and meta-morphoses, to compete in the global media space for human and nonhuman (algorithmic) attention to deliver their collections and programming to the target audiences across borders. In the conditions when attention span shrinks while the amount of information in the digital circulation is exponentially grows, museums need to embrace technology to enhance visitor experience and offer programming that could provide a special value to their constituencies. The project aims to explore these transformations by discussing and analysing challenges and opportunities that new technologies, including AI, Metaverse, VR and AR, bring to the museums.
