[ePub] Repin: Drawings Colour Plates by Maria Peitcheva at Arts-Photography

Description

The museum today faces complex questions of definition; representation; ethics; aspiration and economic survival. Alongside this we see burgeoning use of an array of new media including increasingly dynamic web portals and content; digital archives; social networks; blogs and online games. At the heart of this are changes to the idea of rsquo;visitorrsquo; and rsquo;audiencersquo; and their participation and representation in the new cultural sphere. This insightful book unpacks a number of contradictions that help to frame and articulate digital media work in the museum and questions what constitutes authentic participation. Based on original empirical research and a range of case studies the author explores questions about the museum as media from a number of different disciplines and shows that across museums and the study of them; the cultural logic is changing.
