Abstract

In recent decades, museums have increasingly implemented technology, both technology to better assist in the visitor experience and technology within the art on display. This research explores the possibility for a university museum and residency program that would exhibit art intersecting with science and technology at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. Framed as an interest study, this thesis is situated in current scholarship pertaining to museum shifts of the 21st century and draws upon my interviews with interlocutors and participant observations. I make the case that community engagement, co-curation practices and residency programs can help museums be accountable and ethical to their publics. I utilize my ethnographic research to outline a proposal for a university museum and residency program at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
