6. DIGITIZATION
• we move beyond the mere exhibition- and cult-value (Walter
Benjamin) of a cultural object towards its manipulation value
(Jos de Mul 2009)
• interaction and behaviour determined by software and its
interfaces (Manovich 2013)
7. DOCUMENTATION
•! Documentation translates a (ephemeral,
timebased, process-based, experience-
based) project into data about the project
and meta-data, or in short into information.
•! documentation as embodiment of memory
of the project until its re-realization
(Jean-Marc Poinsot)
•! formal vs. informal documentation

Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau,
documented by Isabella Haaf

11. CRITICAL
MEDIATION OF ART
Production of new knowledge with the visitor
instead of reproduction of existing knowledge.
Fostering the engagement of the visitor with the item
on display and his/her own interpretation.
PARTICIPATORY
MUSEUM
Goals
Carmen Moersch (2011)

facilitator for meaningful interaction with the artistic
projects and with other visitors.
