The Philadelphia Museum of Art is embarking on a five year strategic plan that will include a significant increase in the use of interactive technology for interpretation and audience development activities. To support this initiative the museum is expanding its team with the addition of two new positions:
Interactive Developer: The Interactive Developer will work with technical and non-technical Museum staff to develop compelling interactive experiences both onsite and online. Development projects will include web, mobile and kiosk applications and require an extensive knowledge of mobile web development and a sophisticated knowledge of user-interface design. The Interactive Developer works closely with Education, Curatorial, Conservation, Exhibit Design, Visitor Services and Marketing staff and must be able to communicate complex technical issues in a clear and compelling way to project team members. Interactive Content Writer: The Interactive Content Writer will conceptualize and develop compelling narratives about the Museum's collection and exhibitions for a variety of different media platforms and audiences. The Interactive Content Wrier will work closely with Education, Curatorial and other staff to adapt copy from a variety of sources for use in various in gallery and on-line presentations. They will also create pre-production assets for interactive interpretative content including storylines, video/audio scripts and descriptive text. This is an exciting time to work at the museum as this new interactive technology team will play a lead role in the creation and support of innovative technology projects.
