“Towards a Data Driven Approach to Studying Museum Communication”- a lecture by assoc. Prof. Mette Skov

The video recording of the video is available online via the following link.


The upcoming lecture, titled “Towards a Data-Driven Approach to Studying Museum Communication,” is set to be delivered by Associate Professor Mette Skov (Aalburg University, Denmark) on the 28th of November at 16:15 CET as a part of the Oberseminar series. Assoc. Professor Skov will explore the landscape of modern museum communications, shedding light on the transformative role data plays in shaping our understanding of these dynamic interactions.

The abstract of  Assoc. Prof. Mette Skov’s presentation is as follows:

Today’s museums are part of a broader communications landscape, and the museum encounter is increasingly a mediated one. In a constantly evolving media landscape, most museums have developed institutional websites, and digital technologies have become an integrated part of many exhibitions. This talk will start with a presentation of earlier work on user interaction with museum technologies both online and in the physical museum. The main focus of the talk will be on an internet archive study of Danish museum websites, and both pros and cons of using archived web material will be discussed. The study exemplifies a turn towards a data driven approach to studying museum communication.

This event is designed to accommodate a hybrid format, offering participants the flexibility to join either virtually on Zoom or in person at Room S102/36 at TU Darmstadt. To ensure your attendance at this talk, please navigate to the Eventbrite page and follow the provided instructions.
