NEXT MUSEUM: Stimulating digitization at small and medium-sized museums through the enhancement of the Digital Curator
Project Description
This project responds to the crisis in the Cultural and Creative Sectors, particularly small and medium-sized museums, whose physical activity was severely affected by the pandemic. In the face of a lack of resources for their digitalisation, the proposal seeks to transform these institutions through the creation and enhancement of the Digital Curator. This strategic professional figure will be equipped with high-level cross-cutting digital skills to manage archives, catalogues and online promotions. The objective is twofold: to improve the internal efficiency of museums and to attract audiences through personalised digital experiences. Since there is currently no unified training framework for this career, the project will develop a set of competences recognised across the EU. Thus, museums will be provided with specialists capable of merging cultural heritage with the most modern technological tools. In short, the project seeks to reactivate the museum system by ensuring its viability and relevance in the post-COVID era.
Objectives
- Transform the traditional concept of a museum into a centre for immersive and multimedia exhibitions, accessible to all audiences.
- Promote debate on contemporary issues and topics of social interest through the integration of art, technology and critical awareness.
- Explore and highlight the ethical implications of artificial intelligence and its impact on current society.
- Foster interactive learning experiences that allow the public to understand complex technological processes (such as the functioning of AI) in an educational and engaging manner.
Implementation
The project is based on the creation of museum spaces equipped with high-level technological infrastructure, including 360° immersive projections, videomapping systems and virtual reality experiences. Implementation requires collaboration with international multimedia production studios for the design of exhibitions that combine projections, interactive installations with sensors and personalised virtual reality experiences. The management model involves the continuous renewal of exhibitions to maintain interest and address new current topics, using technology that allows visitors to interact directly with the content.
Expected Results
Consolidation of a new interactive museum model that attracts a broad and diverse audience through immersive experiences.
Increase in the level of digital literacy and critical understanding of visitors regarding the impact of technology on human life.
Success in disseminating high-impact artistic and educational content, attracting thousands of visitors to each international venue.
Creation of a space for reflection where technology, art and ethics meet, promoting a more conscious vision of future challenges.
