Digitalization is also making great strides in art and restoration. In our March issue, we show how AI-supported applications are changing cultural mediation, talk to the head of the Digital Monument Technologies Master’s program at the University of Bamberg and present the digital strategy of the Kunsthalle Mannheim.
Innovative and digitized exhibition concepts
Digitalization and more digitalization. Not least thanks to the AI wave that has been unleashed, a digitalization fire has been kindled in many people. In addition to museums, numerous institutions and companies are trying to become increasingly digital. It seems to have been accepted everywhere that research findings and exhibitions can be presented in a much more visitor-oriented way thanks to digital offerings. In addition, solutions such as digital tours offer the chance to see exhibitions that would otherwise not have been possible to see live.
However, all of these ideas and solutions are based on a great deal of work and commitment on the part of those involved. It takes sensible digital strategies and, above all, smart, shirt-sleeved solutions to simply get started. In this issue, we want to give you a short, printed tour that shows how much is already possible today.
We therefore ask: How can visitor-oriented communication of research findings be designed and what digital tools are now available for this? After all, our reality is changing on a weekly basis thanks to digital innovations and it is not only visitors who are increasingly demanding innovative and digitalized exhibition concepts. So in this issue, we explain what the digital museum can already do today. We also show how an AI-supported chatbot mastered its first assignments.
Exciting solutions
But that’s not all. Digitalization is already an integral part of heritage conservation and we explain why. If you’re looking for even more adventure, you can join us and a drone pilot on a rescue mission. No less exciting is an app that guides us through Munich’s cultural history.
At the end of the day, it’s all about preparing knowledge in a target group-oriented way. Of course, digitalization should not be an end in itself and we hope to have identified some of the most exciting solutions in this issue.
