Designing Museum Experiences in the Digital Age
2022-03-22 - 2022-03-23 | National Gallery X
In this study day, led by National Gallery Digital Director Chris Michaels, you will co-create your own new kinds of future museum experiences and test them with real audiences.
The workshop will let you learn through hands-on experience about emerging technologies, co-design practice and ways to build open innovation into your procurement and project management.
The technologies maturing in the next ten years will reshape what it means to be a museum more than any others in the last 250 years. As the internet merges with the physical world, 5G telecoms, AI, blockchain, robotics and more, it offers us the chance to rethink the relationship between people, institutions and objects.
Workshop leader Chris Michaels is Director of Digital, Communications and Technology at The National Gallery, London. He is the founder of National Gallery X, a creative R+D programme and innovation studio launched in 2019. In 2021 he was named an AHRC Creative Industries Policy and Engagement Fellow, a Bloomberg Technology Fellow and a 5G Trailblazer by Ericsson. Chris is a Senior Visiting Research Fellow at King’s College London, has a PhD from the University of Bristol, and an MPA in Innovation and Public Purpose from University College London.

Lawyers for the Arts: NFT Digital Technology – From the Stone Age to the Metaverse: NFTs as Virtual Pathways to Film, Art, Music, Luxury Goods and Legal Practice
2022-03-28 - 2022-03-29
The Tampa Museum of Art presents a Lawyers for the Arts program with Art and Law Lawyer Alexandra Darraby. The presentation geared towards lawyers and art enthusiasts will focus on NFTs, the metaverse, copyright, and technology.
Neither technology nor culture is new nor modern. But entertainment and luxury goods are in a digital ascendance in the form of Non Fungible Tokens. Alexandra Darraby, founder of the Art Law Firm®, former gallery owner and law professor, describes the connectivity of tech and culture based on recent cases shared from her newest book on arts & technology, excerpted here: “The metaverse is the new virtual and visual frontier, a user- interactive digital environment based in computer-generated spaces of augmented and virtual realities, NFTs and cryptocurrency. These are ether worlds in which visual imagery predominates. Virtual reality thus impacts—and challenges–traditional bricks and mortar interactions, judicial administration and attorney-client engagement. Technology upends categorizing legal claims, interpreting traditional statutory terms; re-evaluating demographics for litigation and juries, and impacts the meaning of societal and legal community engagement.”
Join legal commentator Alexandra, author of Darraby on Art Law, in a program featuring the dynamic impact of NFTs and appropriation on markets, collections and legal practice, including Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction, Andy Warhol and Prince, Lil Yachty, heirloom and iconic brands like Hermes, Patek Philippe, Cartier and Bulgari, and more. Presentation includes how and why have NFTs trigger appropriation types of litigation on claims of copyright and trademark infringement, publicity rights, unfair competition and how lawyers and law firms might ethically and responsibly advise clients in a climate of rapid change and inconclusive adjudication.

Alexandra, former gallery owner and law professor, describes the connectivity of tech and culture based on recent cases shared from her newest book on arts & technology, including topics like:
What are NFTs, what are the facts and myths about the block chain, the ledger, the cryptocurrency trade, and “meta.”. How and why have NFTs triggered appropriation litigation across the country on claims of copyright and trademark infringement, publicity rights, unfair competition. How can individuals and institutions adapt to rapid change, expand community outreach in a virtual environment, increase membership when members increasingly rely on social media and the internet. How do museums re-envision their missions and what is the meaning of patronage in a world of the metaverse and NFT collectors. How do exhibitions and art education traverses bricks and mortar buildings to the digital universe. How does society act responsibly and equitably for populations that do not have the economics or resources to access next-level technologies?

International Museum Day 2022: The Power of Museums
2022-05-18 - 2022-05-19
Museums have the power to transform the world around us.
As incomparable places of discovery, they teach us about our past and open our minds to new ideas — two essential steps in building a better future. On International Museum Day 2022, which will take place on May 18th, we want to explore the potential of museums to bring about positive change in their communities through three lenses:
The power of achieving sustainability: Museums are strategic partners in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. As key actors in their local communities, they contribute to a wide variety of Goals, which include fostering short-circuit and social economy and disseminating scientific information on environmental challenges.
The power of innovating on digitalisation and accessibility: Museums have become innovative playing-grounds where new technologies can be developed and applied to everyday life. Digital innovation can make museums more accessible and engaging, helping audiences understand complex and nuanced concepts.
The power of community building through education: Through its collections and programmes, museums thread a social fabric that is essential in community building. By upholding democratic values and providing life-long learning opportunities to all, they contribute to shaping an informed and engaged civil society.
In this edition of International Museum Day, we invite you to join thousands of museums around the world in unleashing the power of museums!

Thus, in 2022, MuseumWeek will focus on the theme of “culture, society and innovation“.
