Dear All, The latest post from V&A Digital Media blog is a short review of the presentations from last week's Bits 2 Blogs 2013, a one-day event held in Newcastle , UK
This may be of interest to MCN-ers. I've kept it brief as we are all busy :) Some interesting takes on lots on things include: - the pervasiveness of data and phone-based communications in everyday life. - Sound archiving and the implications for delivery as the web changes - the value of context and story in engaging visitors with content and Bits2Blogs - smart objects and their use in developing reminiscence services for people with dementia - data publishing should be viewed as standard practise - convergence between digital and physical life has effectively arrived. We all move back and forth between them continuously. http://www.vam.ac.uk/b/blog/digital-media/bits2blogs-2013?utm_source=vam.ac.uk&utm_medium=mcnlst&utm_content=bits2blogs13&utm_campaign=blg In case you're wondering - Bits2Blogs and is organised annually by Tyne and Wear Archives & Museums (for international friends, that in the North of England!) and is 'the annual event for anyone working in the North East cultural heritage sector who is passionate about using new ideas and new technologies to engage new audiences.' It was good. Thanks to John Coburn and Gill Scott of Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums for a great day Andrew Andrew Lewis Digital Content Delivery Manager Digital Media Team Victoria and Albert Museum South Kensington London SW7 2RL 020 7942 2373 a.lewis at vam.ac.uk www.vam.ac.uk/digitalmedia linkd.in/andrewlewis ( www.vam.ac.uk/digitalmedia ) @rosemarybeetle ( https://twitter.com/rosemarybeetle ) Andrew Lewis Digital Content Delivery Manager Digital Media Team Victoria and Albert Museum South Kensington London SW7 2RL 020 7942 2373 a.lewis at vam.ac.uk www.vam.ac.uk/digitalmedia linkd.in/andrewlewis ( www.vam.ac.uk/digitalmedia ) @rosemarybeetle ( https://twitter.com/rosemarybeetle ) Light from the Middle East: New Photography Until 7 April 2013 at the V&A South Kensington This exhibition was made possible through the establishment of the Art Fund Collection of Middle Eastern Photography at the V&A and the British Museum Admission free Modern British Childhood, 1948-2012 Until 14 April 2013 at V&A Museum of Childhood Admission free Keep in touch Sign up for V&A e-newsletters www.vam.ac.uk/signup Become a fan on Facebook.com/VictoriaandAlbertMuseum ( http://www.facebook.com/VictoriaandAlbertMuseum ) Follow us on Twitter.com/V_and_A ( http://www.twitter.com/V_and_A ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message is confidential and intended only for the individual named above.
