A laboratory/workshop course focused on the utilization
of appropriate media to communicate the exhibition method, with an emphasis
on the creation of visitor interaction with exhibitions. Specialized traditional
media are explored, and the student is introduced to the issues, skills,
and practices related to the design and production of electronic media
and mechanisms for museum communications. The student is introduced to
contemporary electronics technology, including videodisc, hypermedia control
and production languages, alternative techniques for visitor/computer
interaction, and contemporary audio-visual production. The course also
addresses the choice of appropriate technology and the directions that
may emerge in the future.
