4. MAP Dogmer
• Museet er et fysisk rum.
• Museet er et socialt og - let's face it - rekreativt
rum.
• Publikum er medspiller
• Samlingen eksisterer.
• Dele af samlingen er immateriel.
• Oplevelse er ikke nok.
• MAP er et eksperiment.

“We discovered that visitors struggled to navigate
digital collections. The problem, in part, stemmed
from a semantic gap that separated museums’
formal descriptions of art – usually created by art
historians and other specialist – and the vernacular
language used by the general public for searching.”

Mediate a collection of
bits - without loosing
