Witcomb Notes

"This opposition [between multimedia and high art] in relation to the introduction of multimedia into museums is sometimes unhelpful." (Andrea Witcomb, "The Materiality of Virtual Technologies: A New Approach to Thinking about the Impact of Multimedia in Museums", p. 36)

-defining multimedia as 'other' results in limited readings and applications (p. 36)

-through multimedia, museums become more openly politicized (p. 37)
-an experiential model of democracy (p. 46)
