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式方法来扩大和多样化他们的观众。国际伙伴关系是实现这些目标的另一个有吸引力的途径，它带来了跨文化理解的额外好处，从而展示了全球相关性。该项目通过“互联博物馆”的愿景，将数字技术、参与式方法和国际合作伙伴关系结合在一起，让参观者、文物和故事在博物馆之间移动和投射——无论是物理的还是虚拟的。我们的目标是巩固现有的英国和中国合作伙伴网络，使之成为长期的战略伙伴关系；通过确定目标受众、机遇和挑战，完善我们对互联博物馆的愿景；通过生产项目向他人展示我们方法的价值和可行性；同时也建立理论，方法和技术研究议程，以支持或愿景。该项目将使大学（诺丁汉大学，包括其在中国的宁波校区、埃克塞特大学、上海交通大学、杭州师范大学和浙江科技大学）、文化机构（泰特美术馆、上海博物馆、上海科技馆）和行业合作伙伴（Factory42、阿里巴巴）能够在共同的制作实践的推动下，探索技术、方法和理论方面的挑战。部署和研究我们的两个“生产项目”，在网络化的英国和中国博物馆中运行。这将得到一系列研讨会的支持，包括使用从以前的AHRC项目中出现的访客箱方法的设计研讨会，以及员工和博士交流。

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.
