Art Institute of Chicago online collection

Feral Atlas

https://feralatlas.supdigital.org/

Feral Atlas is a multidisciplinary digital humanities project that invites you to navigate the land-, sea-, and airscapes of the Anthropocene. We trust that as you move through the site—pausing to look, read, watch, reflect, and perhaps occasionally scratch your head—you will slowly find your bearings, both in relation to the site’s structure and the foundational concerns and concepts to which it gives form. Feral Atlas has been designed to reward exploration.

 

Imperfect History: Curating the Graphic Arts Collection at Benjamin Franklin’s Public Library

Inspired by the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Library Company of Philadelphia’s Graphic Arts Department, Imperfect History: Curating the Graphic Arts Collection at Benjamin Franklin’s Public Library is a candid exploration of the history of the social dynamics and cultural biases affecting the construction of an American popular graphic arts collection developed within one of the oldest cultural institutions in the country.

 

Museum digital initiatives during the Coronavirus Pandemic

https://digitalmuseums.at/

This website is part of a broader research project on the impact of COVID-19 on museum digital strategies being developed by Dr Chiara Zuanni at the University of Graz. As such, the map constitutes a first pilot-study, offering an immediate overview of various digital initiatives launched by museums around the world. Given the exceptional times, we have decided to release this first visualisation of the dataset we are creating and working with.
