Here’s a complete list of upcoming events and speaking engagements.
At the AAM 2010 conference, Matthew Fisher will join a panel discussion on “Letting Go? Historical Authority in a User-Generated World”. During this session, panelists will explore the challenges, paradoxes, and opportunities associated with mashing up social media with conventional, authoritative museum narratives.
Stop by Night Kitchen Interactive’s booth at the Museums and the Web 2010 conference where we’ll be showcasing recent projects, including PhilaPlace — an interactive, multimedia website that provides a rich and layered view of Philadelphia’s historic neighborhoods through place-based storytelling.
In early 2009 we completed a year-long collaboration with the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA), producing 32 short films on their collection for their newly-installed interactive Dialogtable and developing its corresponding website.
For the past few years, I have been fascinated by a largely underground phenomenon known as "chiptunes." The term chiptunes refers to a type of music; it is not a genre, but rather a method of making the music.
Chiptunes are created by utilizing the sound chips from old computers and video game systems. Popular chips include those from the Commodore 64, Nintendo Entertainment System and Nintendo Game Boy.
After a year-long collaboration with the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Night Kitchen Interactive has officially launched PhilaPlace – an interactive website illuminating the history and culture of Philadelphia’s unique neighborhoods.
At the 3rd Annual International Barcode of Life Conference in Mexico City last month, Matthew Fisher presented Connect.BarcodeofLife.net — an online community for DNA barcoding professionals.
At this year’s MAAM annual meeting, Matthew Fisher will co-chair Museums and the Social Web: From Exhibits to PR to Fundraising with Lesly Attarian, Vice President of External Affairs at Please Touch Museum and Rachel Dukeman, Cultural Consultant at R&R Creative.
The verdict is in - Matthew’s Crowdsourcing Culture panel at this year’s Global Creative Economy Convergence Summit was a huge success! As the voice of the multitudes shifts from a passive to active role in the fields of business, design and even politics, this presentation, which you can now check out on slideshare, was significant in bringing this newfound relevance of the crowd to the forefront.
Matthew Fisher will be moderating a panel titled "Crowdsourcing Culture" from 4-5:30pm on Monday, October 5th at Innovation Philadelphia’s second Global Creative Economy Convergence Summit. Crowdsourcing, the practice of turning to a large group or community to solve problems, is a rapidly growing area thanks to online networks and social media. Technology is pushing the limits of participation and engagement to undreamed of levels and organizations are using these tools in new and innovative ways. This panel explores how crowdsourcing is impacting business, culture, design and even politics, as the group has been turned from audience into collaborator.
In response to the American Association of Museum’s conference theme, “The Museum Experiment”, Night Kitchen Interactive is sharing its recent collaborations with organizations that have taken bold new approaches to encouraging visitors to contribute their own creative responses to museum collections.
Join us at our panel sessions The Places and Stories that Matter and Museum as Platform, or please stop by our booth (#831) where we will be showcasing visitor-contributed projects such as click! photography changes everything, 21st Century Abe, Star-Spangled Banner, and more!
