breathing life into digital collections
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You are
"The secret is in the game.
It is the first game of chance for children.
The feeling when opening the packet is the same as slowly opening a poker hand."
- Umberto Panini
Physical collections
space bound
single view
prone to damage
not so accessible
www.webumenia.sk

web umenia
makes art accessible beyond the gallery
enables 'easy' reproductions
let's you download & remix open access content
has an API
let's visitor personalise their experience
provides SNG with data about visitors' interest
makes artworks shareable
is forkable on GitHub
uses PHP, Laravel, Elastic Search, OpenSeaDragon
that's all great
but...
how to make it more than a digital version of this?
It’s not about creating different exhibits and programs, it’s about creating different visitor experiences.
John H. Falk
Museums are experience factories
[they] have the power to make us respond, to engage, to experience, to feel.
