Helmut Stern Auditorium - Join Matthew Fisher, founder and president of the design company Night Kitchen Interactive and collaborator on UMMA’s DialogTable, for a discussion about the role of social media and interactive installations in realizing the missions of forward-thinking museums.

Drawing on over a decade of experience in consulting with museums across the country on the use of technology to reach audiences in innovative ways, Matthew will share his thoughts on the evolution of museums in the 21st century from being visitor-centric exhibition spaces to participatory platforms for dialogue, creativity, and even transformation. Matthew will illustrate how Night Kitchen has teamed with museums such as the Smithsonian, SFMOMA, and UMMA, to inspire and engage visitors as participants in lively, collaborative experiences, both online and off.

Presented in partnership with LSA Museum Theme Year, the Museum Studies Program, and the School of Information.
