Young people are the future preservers and curators of national collections of art and cultural heritage, and forthcoming participants in societal processes of collective remembering.
In targeting this audience, museums have actively incorporated digital and social media into their education and communication programs – online, in public spaces, and onsite in galleries and exhibitions.
An important aim of using technologies is to engage young people in meaning making encounters with art and cultural heritage.
At this closing conference for the CONTACT project (Communicating Organizations in Networks of Art and Cultural Heritage Technologies), approaches to media and meaning making are the focus of a full day of presentations.
For four years, researchers have collaborated with experts in Norwegian museums and cultural heritage organizations to focus on the design and use of media for young people’s meaning making activities. This unique collaboration between university and cultural sectors has created a shared space – ‘experimental zones’ – for investigating how digital and social media for the future museum public may be conceptualized, designed and researched.
The program is available on the conference website.
