About the 2016 DNA version
THE HAPPENING
MuseumCamp 2016: 79 experts made 17 exhibition concepts.
All participants were enabled to work in the museum (physically) and simultaneously (virtual) on the UC MuseumCamp digital platform. (presently DNA)
EXECUTING
The integrated UC APP and Collection Management System (CMS) made sharing content and concepts possible during the process immediately resulting in this web presentation.
NEW
For the first time so many experts were connected to one organization to compose exhibition concepts.
THE RESULT
Developing exhibitions with curators and designers - located anywhere - sharing the same platform, expands the making of contextual exhibitions in concert on unlimited scale.
The structure makes working in concert with an unlimited amount of experts possible. The infrastructure empowers cross bordering projects, contextual exhibition development and the set-up of MuseumCamps from the very start due to the Relation Management System (RMS) that is incorporated in the CMS.
INTERFACE
The present interface is a standard template. However, the UC Collection Management System allows any type of web presentation based on its content.
This means that anyone may propose new interfaces designed for specific content and visionary exhibitions on the web. If needed, the UC team will help implementing new interfaces.
THE UC PRINCIPLE
Terms of References of the CMS are developed through input of its users and professional representatives of cultural heritage institutions since 1999.
The flexible generic CrossmarX software allows fast implementation of new insights and requests of the users. This feature results in custom made applications that are offered to all participant users. The generic software may be compared with open source in terms of the shared development and use.
Responsive design: templates are fully responsive. Content is accessible across multiple devices, including mobiles, tablets and desktops.
The UC APP and Web account are fully integrated.
