“Exciting, important and wide-ranging.”

“Like the future, it is experimental, uncertain, and brilliant.”
Nina Simon, Executive Director, Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History,
author of The Participatory Museum.
CODE | WORDS brings together leading museum thinkers and practitioners to explore emerging issues about the nature of museums in the light of the dramatic and ongoing impact of digital technologies.
Originally an online dialogue, CODE | WORDS is a series of conversations which explores challenging questions about the identity of museums, their role in society, their responsibility to serve a global public, and the nature of collecting, preservation, education, scholarship, primary research, and ethics in a digital age. The authors aim to inspire change, and to demonstrate the important relationship between emerging digital practices and museum theory.
Digital technologies won’t solve all the problems in the world, or the museum. Things will change, as they always do. How will we respond to those changes in a deliberate manner? This important new book will help you decide.
