Museums and the Web
An annual conference exploring the social, cultural, design, technological, economic, and organizational issues of culture, science and heritage on-line.
Epic fail - a forum on failure and 'failing forwards'
Abstract
Chaired by Jane Finnis and Seb Chan this session will look at several important 'public failures' that, whilst in the short term were painful and embarassing, have been critical in evolving and improving ideas, products and projects.
A call out for 'featured fails' will happen in Feb 2012 to ensure that the projects featured are fresh and contemporary.
In order to keep the session 'open and honest', this will be a 'closed door' session with no tweeting or blogging of specific examples allowed.
