We are pleased to announce the launch of Discover the Real George Washington, an interactive timeline that unveils the many facets of America’s first President – statesman, military leader, family man, visionary entrepreneur, and slave owner. True to its title, this online exhibit tells the story of the man behind the icon, presenting historical content in a way that engages audiences of all ages.
Carnegie Museum of Art has selected Night Kitchen Interactive for the redesign and development of its website. Beyond serving as a platform for audiences to experience the museum’s rich array of artwork and educational programs, this large-scale website redesign project is an opportunity for CMA to reinforce its status as a world-class museum, with strong ties to the local community, and a genuine interest in connecting the general public to art.
We look forward to drawing on our extensive experience in online community-building for arts and cultural heritage organizations to help CMA extend its museum experience by making its website a rich and enjoyable destination.
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.
Since the launch of the PhilaPlace website last December, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP) has received a steady stream of stories from local residents and community members. Some of these stories even accompany images — both historical and contemporary — as well as videos. Check out these recently published stories:
For a preview of what’s to come in the History of Vaccines website for the College of Physicians, check out this interactive timeline on the history of smallpox. You may be surprised to learn about the worldwide impact of this disease and the scientific breakthroughs that led to its eradication in 1980.
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. With the Dialogtable drawing great interest and acclaim for facilitating exploration and conversation around the museum’s rich collections, UMMA has invited Matthew to be a part of their Wednesday Night Museum series, which features museum leaders, scholars, and artists addressing the challenges and potentials of 21st century museums.
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.
Exciting news! The Country Dog Gentlemen interactive that Night Kitchen developed for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has been awarded Outstanding Achievement in the Kids category by the Interactive Media Awards.
This fall, Night Kitchen worked with the National Constitution Center to develop a website around its International Engagement programming and the Center’s role in fostering an international dialog around the American constitutional experience. With a dynamic homepage, blog, and access to information on current and upcoming projects, the International Engagement site connects visitors to the many compelling NCC programs thriving beyond its walls. One such project is Recording Democracy: The Making of "We the People".
