Digital engagement with GLAM collections and audiences

The DX Lab is thrilled to welcome two international guest speakers to present their work on developing, building and measuring digital experiences and engagement across the GLAM sector. Our guest speakers include:

 Jon Voss

The Director of Shift (US), a non-profit venture that supports and designs community-led initiatives to increase social, cultural and resource equity. He is also Strategic Partnerships Director for Historypin, where more than 4,000 cultural heritage organizations globally are working to strengthen communities through intergenerational and intercultural storytelling and local history.

Adrian Kingston

Digital Channels Manager at Te Papa, the national museum of New Zealand. Over the last 20 years he has worked in conservation, collection management, collection information, exhibitions, digital access, digitisation and digital preservation. During this time he has become increasingly interested in understanding how we measure the success of the work we do across the GLAM sector. The Audience Impact Model is the beginnings of a framework to better prioritise, design for, and measure more meaningful measures of success for our audiences.

Jon and Adrian will join the Sydney-based duo Paula Bray and Keir Winesmith in conversation to discuss how institutions develop, measure, and build experiences.

Paula is the DX Lab Leader at the State Library of NSW and is responsible for developing and promoting an innovation lab utilising emerging and existing web technologies to deliver new ways to explore the Library’s collections and data. The DX Lab is a place where innovation and collaboration are explored.

Keir is Chief Technology Officer at Old Ways, New and Professor of Practice at UNSW Art & Design. In 2018 he returned to Sydney after 5 years at the digital helm of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). Prior to SFMOMA, he led the digital efforts of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia. In 2018 he was named in Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People in Business.
