Abstract:
ACMI works at the cutting edge of emerging technology and digital innovation to present and preserve moving image and interactive art to its audiences now and safeguarding these collections into the future. This is done by applying a unique audience-centered approach combining experience design, digital preservation, and access practices across two key teams at the museum. The cross disciplinary approach leads to better results and means the experimentation is more expansive and impactful. It means ACMI can keep pace with the artists it works with and support them in this rapidly changing environment. Through a series of case studies from emulation, AI enriched search and on premises ‘reading room’ access this paper will consider how these strategies could be employed more broadly across the gallery, library, archive and museum sector and hopes to inspire collaboration and discussion.
