Description

This workshop invites designers and developers from the NE community to hear perspectives from museums and cultural organisations on the challenges they face in commissioning and co-developing work in immersive technology and to think together about solutions. The North East is home to an incredible wealth of developer talent and a huge richness of museums, galleries, archives and libraries. We all know there are difficulties with a digital divide, with funding, and with finding space to think and imagine together. In this short workshop we will hear from curators and leaders in cultural organisations in a series of lightening talks asking how the objects and practices of institutions can help focus collaboration.
