For decades, digital activity has been inconsistent across the cultural and heritage sectors. The following two episodes explore the distinctive and context-specific nature of digital work at Science Museum Group, focusing on why digital labour can be variable depending not only on which museum you visit, but on which museum department you find yourself in. This episode introduces some of the different and distributed forms of digital labour to be found in museums. Hear from staff involved with curatorial, marketing, and digital analysis to learn how new, more digitally focused job roles are breaking down departmental silos and prompting new ways of learning for the entire organisation. We’ll explore how these roles – often emerging from more administrative, infrastructural parts of the museum – are cultivating a new spirit of digital autodidacticism, a kind lifelong self-learning with technology across the Group.
Voices you’ll hear in this episode include Dr Steven Leech – Curator of Exhibitions (Science and Industry Museum), Lopa Patel MBE – Trustee (Science Museum Group), Sally McDonald – Director (Science and Industry Museum), John Stack – Digital Director (Science Museum Group), Mark Cutmore – Head of Commercial Experience (Science Museum Group), Wassim Arkadan – Digital Analyst (Scient Museum Group), Cathy Pilkington – Marketing Manager (National Science and Media Museum) and Toni Booth – Associate Curator of Film (National Science and Media Museum).
