The best thing about THATCamps is that newbies can and should help lead the conversation. We have a lot of session opening and a group of people that I am sure will be interested in the kinds of things you are talking about so definitely make a proposal!

I wouldn’t mind participating in a general session about what job museums and archives do, and if they face disruption by good-enough alternatives that might or might not be in the same business space. If people think that this would be interesting, I wouldn’t mind trying to come up with something based off of Clayton Christensen’s work on Disruption Theory.

If you have an idea to throw into the mix however, please put it forward here or to thatcampmuseumsnyc[at]bgc[dot]bard[dot]edu and we will try to get it into the weekend’s conversation. We are trying to share as much of the event as possible so you’ll probably get a chance to see some artifact of the conversation at some point.

While commercial applications of virtual reality explode on your mobile screen, the history potential of the smart phone valiantly struggles to catch up. The Digital Humanities team of Kathleen Hulser and Steve Bull have been experimenting with history on the hoof. They concoct augmented reality scenarios that turn the smart phone into a history translator that conjures buried archival materials into real world contexts. Two recent forays show the potential for plucking history from the scholarly realm and popping it into surprising settings. “Tecumseh” summons an image of the Shawnee leader who tried to found a Pan-Indian Nation, during the War of 1812. No, Indians
aren’t erased from the history, they’ve just been waiting in your mobile to re-materialize. Bull lurked amidst classical busts in the gardens of the Villa dei Pini, Bogliasco ITALY, to install “inVisible Presence” using augmented reality to make the men of marble mobilize their thoughts.
