The Launch of Museum Communication Channel Project
While the team was working with Kawasaki City Museum, they were seeking more participants among museums so that they can fulfill their original intention of creating audio guide and educational programs to be delivered on VOLUMEONE. The team felt an urgent necessity for making effort in outreach activities. So they launched a new sub-project titled "Museum Communication Channel Project" in April this year. In this framework, the team makes visits to small museums and schools to let them know about VOLUMEONE and give workshops to demonstrate what they can do with it when it is combined with widely available technologies such as Blog. The team has also created several explanatory and demonstration web sites. They also made an audio guide in a "presentation in person" style as an example with a support from Oriental art expert, Mr.Uragami.
Through this kind of effort and activities, VOLUMEONE now has a new partner, Tokyo Wonder Site, which is an art space for young contemporary artists subsidized by Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Their archives of past exhibitions and artists' interviews in video will be available for viewing online pretty soon.
