Sinopsis
Computer technology has transformed modern
society, yet curators wishing to reflect those
changes face difficult challenges in terms of
both collecting and exhibiting. Collecting and
Exhibiting Computer-Based Technologyexamines how
curators at the history and technology museums
of the Smithsonian Institution have met these
challenges.Focusing on the curatorial process,
the book explores the ways in which curators at
the institution have approached the accession
and display of technological artifacts. Such
collections often have comparatively few
precedents, and can pose unique dilemmas. In
analysing the Smithsonian8217sapproach, Foti
takes in diverse collection case studies ranging
from DNA analyzers to Herbie Hancock8217smusic
synthesizers, from iPods to born-digital
photographs, from the laptop used during the
filming of the television program Sex and the
City to quotStaleyquotthe self-driving car.
Using her proposed model of quotexprt
curationquot she synthesizes her findings into
a more universal framework for undertanding the
curatorial methods associated with computer
technology and reflects on what it means to be a
curator in a postdigital world.Collecting and
Exhibiting Computer-Based Technology offers a
detailed analysis of curatorial practice in a
relatively new field that is set to grow
exponentially. It will be useful reading for
curators, scholars, and students alike.
