Comment on It’s Not About “More” Anymore by Sara Devine

Hi Mark,
You’re not the first person to ask us about how to recreate ASK or if we would package it. It’s not currently in a shape that we could package up and provide to others since we built mvp only. Additionally, staffing costs are a real hindrance. You have to have the team to answer the questions and to build the knowledge base.
Best,
Sara

I love the concept of ASK but don’t love close enough to try it. Would you consider packaging the idea and leasing/seek to other venues as a model for their audiences to get more data on their audience questions?

Comment on Before and After: ASKing about American Art by Sara Devine

Hi Maria Teresa,
We shared the information, the questions and answers from ASK, with the curators, who used that information at their own discretion. In some cases it did inform certain decisions. For example, our assistant curator of American art at the time noticed people weren’t making connections between works on view intended to be understood together and updated the layout and label copy to try to better emphasize groupings to make that clearer. I hope that helps.
Best,
Sara

Hi, I am a student of the Master of Arts and Cultural Management at the University of Melbourne and I am really interested in the ASK project. Would you please clarify one doubt I have? Was the rearrangement of the American art galleries an independent process? Or was it done together with the ASK team? Since the App can provide so much information on visitor’s behaviour, I was wondering if the information collected by the ASK team could have informed some of the decisions to the rearrangement itself.

Thank you so much,
Maria Teresa

Comment on The Realities of Installing iBeacon to Scale by Joey

We used the Estimote beacons for a semi-permanent solution. We also had issues with the stickiness. I ended up 3d printing 40 or so “Shells” that would hang from the ceiling tile grid and contain the beacon. We also labeled all the beacons & shells with the ids.

Comment on Labels Do Heavy Lifting for ASK by Emily Sachar

Such an interesting article. The self-criticism of the ASK team, and the desire not to pollute your own research by overly directing museum visitors, is fascinating and commendable. I’m curious what your research shows after the Minter exhibition closes. I’m always keen to know the sorts of questions you see from users — topics and depth of interest. Maybe you can report in to the guides soon! Thanks again!
