The subtle difference between knowledge and 3D knowledge
Full text linkThis article discusses the implications of attaching three-dimensional artefacts with different labels such as visualisation, model or ‘virtual form’. The research focus is on how this affects the artefact itself, how it is produced and received, and in the end, how the artefact engages in knowledge production, and what kind of knowledge comes out of the process. It is proposed that there is not only a difference between knowledge and ‘three-dimensional’ knowledge but also between knowledge derived from artefacts called by different names. The three-dimensional artefacts are intermediaries or boundary objects between the past and the present, and the makers and users of these objects. Taking the differences in names and how they are linked to epistemological differences seriously and making them visible is argued to be a key to a more reflexive and productive making and use of three-dimensional artefacts

Continuity across change? What memory institutions need to learn for the future. Interview with Samantha Lutz

MKG Collection Online: The potential of open museum collections
Full text linkIn October 2015 the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg (MKG) launched the “MKG Collection Online”. The MKG is the first art museum in the German-speaking countries to open up its collections by establishing an open access policy. It offers digital images of objects that are already in the public domain and data of all of the published objects for unrestricted reuse in order to inspire creative processes, foster knowledge production and innovation and safeguard cultural heritage. Many museums are, however, struggling with this concept, even though it is recommended as best practice by the European Commission. Looking at the example of the MKG, the potential of open access for digitized museum collections will be outlined. Furthermore, the challenges of this open access policy and the wider implications of openness for the museum, other cultural heritage institutions and society will be discussed
