I was fascinated to hear her talk about her working experience for Google Arts and Culture and how this relates to the work I am planning to do with museums and art galleries in Canada. I’ve written in an earlier blog about the reaction from museum professionals to working with this platform.
I was impressed to see someone take this type of knowledge and expertise to create a new non-profit organization. I particularly liked this quote of Emily’s from this morning’s newsletter;
“I think museums are beginning to internalize the idea that simply making an artwork, exhibition or program available online is not enough. We need to create platform-specific programming, meet people where they are online, and really speak the language of the platform. So many digital strategies have been simply about making things available, which is great but it’s just the first step! Repurposed digital content will not perform well in today’s world, so tuning our content to fit platforms is key.”
