Newfields Lab

Our Digital Collections Manager, @SamiNorling, is attending the UNFIXED: Material Challenges in Contemporary Art workshop today @artinstitutechi to collaborate with Midwest art museums on preserving time-based media artwork #digipres

Our collection of 3D-printed design items (+ a garden gnome) keeps growing as we prepare for the reopening of the Design Gallery @NewfieldsToday, complete with a prototyping Design Lab

And, of course, shout out to @rjstein, who not only led this #musetech project, but also founded the IMA Lab. #PicsOrItDidntHappen:

#FBF to 2005, when IMA launched X ROOM: a tech-filled gallery featuring an [Eames] table-top interactive for exploring @NewfieldsToday collections, projecting images and info onto the gallery walls. This #musetech pre-dates the Lab, but we love it! More @ newsinfo.iu.edu/news-archive…

Our Miller House and Garden virtual reality in-gallery experience is being previewed in the Engaging New Technologies session at #VRA2018. Thanks for sharing our work, @kboehlert! The experience is part of the IMA Design Gallery reinstall, opening in July.

Could your portrait be in the collections of the Indianapolis Museum of Art @NewfieldsToday? We're sharing our digitized portraits with @googlearts to add to their app. Is your art doppelgänger Hoosier artist William Forsyth? Or Chief Flat Iron? Or maybe this lady "Tidying Up"?

"According to Ai WeiWei" exhibition microsite lives on among thousands of pages in the online archive of imamuseum.org, captured by @SamiNorling using @rhizome's #webarchiving tool, @webrecorder_io, prior to our launch of discovernewfields.org. bit.ly/2CUjhLY

Our team enjoyed a technology tour of the #Winterlights Landscape of Light on the Lilly House lawn this afternoon. Each panel/string of lights was meticulously choreographed to music from The Nutcracker #musetech

Inspired by @JessicaMilby's presentation at #MCN2017 on visualizing Google Analytics data for online collections...this is what @NewfieldsToday's most popular 1000 items from 2015 to now--grouped by collection and sized by # of unique pageviews--looks like #musedata

Last week @IUPUIDigSchol brought their 3D-imaging expertise to the museum to capture items from the @NewfieldsToday collection. Turns out Bes-Ben hats aren't the easiest items to render in 3D... #musetech
