Through four wide-ranging chapters, each focused on a single object - a box, pen, effigy and cloak - this short, accessible book explores the legacies of earlier museum practices of collection, older forms of media (from dioramas to photography), and theories of how knowledge is produced in museums on a wide range of digital projects. Swooping from Ethnographic to Decorative Arts Collections, from the Google Art Project to bespoke digital experiments, Haidy Geismar explores the object lessons contained in digital form and asks what they can tell us about both the past and the future. Drawing on the author's extensive experience working with collections across the world, Geismar argues for an understanding of digital media as material, rather than immaterial, and advocates for a more nuanced, ethnographic and historicised view of museum digitisation projects than those usually adopted in the celebratory accounts of new media in museums. By locating the digital as part of a longer history of material engagements, transformations and processes of translation, this book broadens our understanding of the reality effects that digital technologies create, and of how digital media can be mobilised in different parts of the world to very different effects. 606 $aMuseology & heritage studies$2bicssc 606 $aMaterial culture$2bicssc 606 $aSociology & anthropology$2bicssc 606 $aAnthropology$2bicssc 606 $aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography$2bicssc 610 $aobject 610 $adigital age 610 $aarts 610 $amuseum 610 $aAnthropology 610 $aCollection (artwork) 610 $aEthnography 610 $aMaori people 615 7$aMuseology & heritage studies 615 7$aMaterial culture 615 7$aSociology & anthropology 615 7$aAnthropology 615 7$aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography 700 $aGeismar$b Haidy$0999326 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910275024503321 996 $aMuseum Object Lessons for the Digital Age$92292922 997 $aUNINA
