Five Question Q&A: Nina Simon, The Participatory Museum
Meet Nina Simon. She’s the author of the Museum 2.0 Blog and The Participatory Museum and she’s been called a “museum visionary.” In our Open Dialogue and on our blog, NAMAC community members have been talking about the challenges museums and art house cinema houses face when trying to engage audiences who desire a more active role in curating their own experiences. Recently I had an opportunity to chat with Simon about her book and about what the "participatory museum" model looks like in action.
Physical Media - Gone with the Wind?
I’m a film guy. I like celluloid on reels. I like the whirring machines that play them. This love affair started in my late teens. Seeing Wim Wenders’ Wings of Desire changed my life, ditto for Lina Wertmuller’s Seven Beauties. Discovering the nauseating spectacles of John Waters blew my freakin’ mind as did the Rocky Horror cult.
