How can museums and other cultural institutions adapt to the changing world? How can they connect people, communities, and ideas to mold our shared futures?
Join us for an engaging conversation with Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) Director Seb Chan on how the critical adoption of emerging technologies - including open access, AI, and automation - and other creative practices, will shape the museums of today and tomorrow. Seb will be joined by MIT Museum Director Michael John Gorman.
Seb Chan is the Director & CEO of ACMI, a museum focused on screen culture and the intersection of media, technology, world-building and storytelling. Prior to his work at ACMI, Seb led the digital renewal and transformation of the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York and the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney's pioneering work in open access, mass collaboration and digital experience. His work has won awards internationally in the museum, media, and design spheres.
