Today, a museum's web site might be the only contact many people will have with that institution. This module examines the public interface of museums on the world wide web, contemporary approaches to access through museums' use of IT, and the interpretation of collections via the internet. Current international practice is examined to evaluate how collections are projected on the internet. This module will examine how art galleries and museums meet the challenge and make innovative use of electronic media to stage virtual exhibitions. The aim is for each student to conceive, research, make the selection, write and design a virtual exhibition that has some aspect of the School's Art Collection at its core, but also makes use of 'virtual loans' and will include an aspect of contemporary art practice.
