Memory Lab at the Magnes Museum
For the last few months, I’ve been working closely with the fine folks at the
The Magnes Museum is definitely on the cutting edge of using social media tools to bring their work to larger audiences. Memory Lab and MemoryMiner will help to bring additional materials out of boxes in peoples’ closets and into a “clean, well-lighted place.”
One of the things that really appeals to me is the ability to get early feedback from both experts and novices on MemoryMiner 2.0, an early version of which is being used in the lab. For example, one of the newer features is the ability to create and maintain Flickr photosets from within MemoryMiner.
Here’s an example of a Flickr set created from MemoryMiner:

The exhibit is brand new, and I look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration. On Sunday Oct. 12, I’ll be giving a gallery talk at the museum with Francesco Spagnolo, the Head of Research at the museum:

John,
Neat stuff. Looks like a cool project, and it’s always nice to see people using technology in interesting ways.
Can’t wait to see MM2.0 either!
