Conception of New Museum in Indonesia

Vision for Museums (1999-2007) is an R&D programme initiated at the Interactive Institute in Stockholm. Its activity was primarily focused on developing innovative digital guides and interactive media for communication and interpretation in a variety of museum environments. Several novel storytelling techniques and digital interfaces were prototyped within this framework using a cross-disciplinary methodology that combined visitor studies and interaction design in cooperation with museums, the IT and ICT sector and universities. The credo and goal of Visions for Museums was, through cross-sectoral collaborations and applied projects, to inspire an effervescence of new interpretive tools and digital solutions in the context of museum communication.

Vision for Museums

Visions for Museums (V4M) explores the ways in which digital technologies may develop and enhance visitor engagement with museums of art, culture, history and science. It aims to be a center for interdisciplinary research and practice, regarding visitor-oriented new media in museum communication and to establish a new area for research and practice: digital museum communication.

Museum research has not traditionally been oriented towards aspects of communication and visitor-orientation, two important starting points for employing and developing digital media in public environments. It has become increasingly clear that the need for interdisciplinary research within this field is important.

V4M projects include:

• Access in Mind
• Storytelling animals II
• China before China
• Touch of Kandinsky
