The WWW9 Culture Track offers a comprehensive scenario on emerging technologies and trends in "networked arts", with specific reference to virtual museums. Each presentation will provide valuable insights for the developer, the content provider/institution, and the user. This track will explore how multimedia technology could re-engineer the way visitors presently perceive their visiting a museum or art gallery, the added value associated with ICT applications, and real issues of museums and archives.
The Culture track is organized by MEDICI, a European Commission initiative on ICT and new technologies for Cultural Heritage.
Co-Chairs:
- Alfredo Ronchi, EC MEDICI Framework Secretariat, Italy
- Judith Gradwhol, Smithsonian Institution, USA
