Shaping the Connected Museum II

博物馆和画廊越来越愿意使用数字技术和参与性方法来增长和多样化观众。国际伙伴关系是实现这些目标的又一条有吸引力的途径，它带来了跨文化理解的额外好处，从而显示出全球相关性。该项目将数字技术、参与式方法和国际合作伙伴关系结合在一起，通过“互联博物馆”的愿景，参观者、文物和故事在博物馆之间移动和投射--无论是物理上的还是虚拟的。我们的目标是巩固我们现有的英国和中国合作伙伴网络，形成长期的战略合作伙伴关系；通过确定目标受众、机会和挑战来完善我们对互联博物馆的愿景；通过展示我们方法的价值和可行性的制作项目向其他人展示这一点；在建立支撑或愿景的理论、方法和技术研究议程的同时，该项目将使大学(诺丁汉，包括其位于中国的宁波校区、埃克塞特、上海交通、杭州师范大学和浙江理工大学)、文化机构(泰特、上海博物馆、上海科技馆)和行业合作伙伴(Factory42，阿里巴巴)在制定、部署和研究我们在英国和中国博物馆联网的两个“生产项目”的共同实践的推动下，探索技术、方法和理论方面的挑战。这将得到一系列讲习班的支持，包括使用AHRC以前项目中出现的游客箱方法的设计讲习班，以及工作人员和博士交流。

Museums and galleries are increasingly receptive to using digital technology and participatory methods to grow and diversify their audiences. International partnership is a further attractive route to achieving these aims, bringing the additional benefits of cross-cultural understanding and so demonstrating global relevance. This project brings digital technologies, participatory methods and international partnership together through the vision of the 'connected museum' in which visitors, artefacts and also stories move and project themselves between museums - both physically and virtually. Our aims are to cement our existing network of UK and Chinese partners into a long-term strategic partnership; refine our vision of the connected museum by identifying target audiences, opportunities and challenges; demonstrate this to others through production projects that showcase the value and feasibility of our approach; while also establishing the theoretical, methodological and technical research agendas that to underpin or vision.The project will enable a partnership of Universities (Nottingham, including its Ningbo Campus in China, Exeter, Shanghai Jiao Tong, Hangzhou Normal and Zhejiang Science and Technology), cultural institutions (Tate, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Science and Technology Museum) and industry partners (Factory42, Alibaba) to explore technical, methodological and theoretical challenges, driven by the shared practice of making, deploying and studying our two 'production projects' that run across networked UK and Chinese museums. This will be supported by a series of workshops, including a design workshop using the Visitor Box method that has emerged from previous AHRC projects, and staff and PhD exchanges.
