Re-framing Peripheral Artefacts

Supervisor: Scott Woods

We currently live in a highly digitized world, where the digital revolution underpins modern society to the extent that it has manifested into once analog mediums. Museums have shifted their approach in an attempt to stay relevant. They have moved from being about something to being for somebody, where the focus is placed on the visitor’s experience rather than the museum’s fundamental role to collect, preserve, study and exhibit objects of art.

The project questions and explores what it means to be a museum in the digital age. Taking into account the current digital trends and the social value of the typology, the proposal is a speculative glimpse of a museum reimagined, ultimately to regain focus upon what is truly important, the objects of art.
