This week I read about the \u201cInfinite Museum\u201d at the David Owsley Museum of Art. This interactive website is innovative and useful when trying to tie digital aspects into a museum. Although many museums already do have websites where you are able to explore the works currently on display, this project allows you to explore the galleries in a more creative way. It allows you to be reflective or look at things in a fun manner instead of just completely serious. They did this by creating numerous different prompts, which they then referred to as \u2018lenses.\u2019 This reminds me of the interactive wig exhibit we looked at in class. However, I feel like that was just more playful. It didn\u2019t give any real information about the wigs, besides some very basic background. It was entertaining to create an outlandish wig, but ultimately I didn\u2019t learn much. With the \u201cInfinite Museum,\u201d it will actually take you to explore different parts of the museum, which is what a good online digital component will do. I personally like this feature because I often times feel self conscious visiting museums because I\u2019m not very knowledgeable about art and art history and so to be able to explore at my own pace from the comfort of my home is an amazing feature. I will be interested to see how the online realm further develops in the next few years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
