AAM 2011 Session: Tech Tools for Promoting Dialogue about Art
- By Kathy McHoes
- November 9, 2010
At the 2011 AAM Annual Meeting, Night Kitchen Interactive will present "Engaging Children in Objects and Art Using High-Tech to No-Tech Tools".
The interactive and playful session, to be conducted in collaboration with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, will highlight ways to encourage family dialogue and play in museums through mobile devices.
Attendees will gain insight into the benefits and limitations of the Country Dog Gentlemen Mobile Activity from a visitor perspective. Attendees will be broken up into several “families” and will complete different activities in the separate “gallery” spaces, then assess and discuss their experiences with the activities.
Co-facilitated with SFMOMA, this session will investigate how the mobile activity encourages families to engage with the space, art work, and with each other, using mobile access as a gateway for new directions in visitor participation.
