In the past few months, I have been working on Netfilmmakers’ new website and our current exhibition THE ORDER OF THINGS. The exhibition presents net videos by Morgan Wong Wing-Fat, Chilai Howard and Silas Fong from Hong Kong.
“Mobile Reality: Emotional digitality – working with mobile media as sacred objects”
Yesterday, the European Year of Creativity and Innovation was celebrated in Copenhagen. Netfilmmakers and I had organised a workshop based on the notion of mobile media as sacred objects. The workshop gave the participants the option to work with net curating with the use of blogging. The participants contributed with items to the exhibitions from their mobiles. The items was either kept text messages, pictures or videos.
The uploaded media from the participants mobile phones became demystificed as well as mystified in this net curatorial process.

What are the skills and qualifications of the curator in the 21st Century? Are the physical museums and cultural institutions going to be replaced with virtual ones? Is emotional branding a useful tool for gaining online visitors at online exhibitions? How do we use social media and virtual worlds effectively in the curatorial process?
These questions are part of a new museological discourse which TheOpenCuratorship will try to explore. You can also find interviews, projects and updates about digital practices.
