I thought I would use my space on the blog this week to give you a sneak peek of the new website we are creating for the upcoming show, Power and Glory: Court Arts of China’s Ming Dynasty.
Reflections on the International Symposium on Electronic Arts
If you have been keeping up with the Nugget Factory these days you know that Daniel and I endured many hours of travel to arrive in balmy Singapore where we attended the 2008 International Symposium on Electronic Arts.
The time we spent was filled with sessions, preparing for our own presentation, keeping up with IMA work and seeing what the city had to offer. We did a lot of everything despite the inevitable jetlag. A 12 hour time difference is a doozie.
Nonetheless, we made the most of it. Of all the sessions we attended I found the last one to be the most compelling. It was a lecture by Khairul Azril Ismail called Pudu Jail’s Graffiti: Aesthetics Beyond the Walls of the Prison Cells.

The IMA Blog: of the people or for the people?
Recently we have been passionately debating topics related to content on the IMA Blog. Internally the blog team (and others around the museum) have asked a lot of questions that we all struggle to confidently answer. Who are the primary audiences? Is one audience more present than another? Are IMA staff one of the audiences? Do people want to sift content into one category that they actually read, or do IMA Blog readers enjoy the collective mentality the blog has taken on?
Instead of continuing with our speculation, I thought it might be cool to ask you, our readers, what you think. So tell us, what is most compelling about our blog, and what is lacking?
