Abstract
AbstractIn the cultural sector we use digital museum objects every day; in exhibitions, websites, collections management systems, and on our social channels. But, what actually are these objects? Do we understand them as objects in their own right? With their own nature and essence?
Highlights
In this article, I define the digital museum object as a true and faithful digitised image of a physical museum object or a born digital object
In demonstrating the potential of digital museum objects as discursive spaces within which to promulgate and to problematise tropes embedded with the power structures of cultural institutions, we can look to theories of meaning-making and knowledge production
It is here that we find the value of the digital museum object, a fact that emphasises the need to recast traditional notions of materiality, authenticity and aura that traditionally detract from it
Summary
I define the digital museum object as a true and faithful digitised image of a physical museum object (in 2D and 3D) or a born digital object. Article: Digital Museum Objects and Memory: Postdigital Materiality, Aura and Value and act (usually in opposition to the physical).
