MDD TALKS #3 – Naar een phygital museum?

Physical exhibition spaces, heritage and artworks are increasingly reproduced and consumed digitally. What is the potential of digital exhibitions and how digital can we go?

In this online talk featuring Frederik De Wilde (artist), Axel Clissen (architect) and Marjan Doom (director Ghent University Museum) we explore the limits and possibilities of the digital experience and its influence on the physical experience of museums, collections and culture. Moderated by Jan(us) Boudewijns (MDD).
