Short and Snappy (No. 12)
| The British Interactive Group (BIG) is ‘the organisation for people involved in interactive science communication projects in the UK’. I’ve only stumbled upon this today, but it looks like a great resource with articles on mechanical and computer interactives amongst other useful bits and pieces.

Whatever the case, the uniforms have their own webpage. ‘start them young’ says Rita referring to efforts by both the V&A and the MCA to attract younger audiences. The V&A holds Friday Late events feature ‘live performances, guest DJ's and late bar’. The MCA’s project is Generationext which offers ‘afterhours appreciation events’ for youth aged thirteen to seventeen.

(Via We Make Money Not Art) The Onion satirises the Smithsonian’s new hip–hop collection featuring ‘Xzibit: The Xzibit’ and a ‘collection of neckclocks’. More information on the real hip–hop collection in this article. (Via Museum Madness) The Cooper–Hewitt is planning a new website that they hope will put its collection in the hands of the audience, enabling them to curate their own exhibitions online. Director, Paul Thompson wants the Cooper–Hewitt to be ‘ahead of the curve and avant-garde’. But, really, I wonder whether museums are just playing catch-up with sites such as Flickr and del.icio.us?
