Amazingly nice words from the folks at Bloginity in their review of ArtGameLab: Reflecting the Bay Area’s renown for pioneering new technologies and ways of thinking, SFMOMA is widely acknowledged as a leader among museums worldwide for using innovative means to engage audiences of all ages, both on site and online. From its original website—one of the first launched by a U.S. art museum—and prizewinning interpretive CD-ROMS of the 1990s to its innovative podcasts and multimedia gallery tours of the 2000s, SFMOMA has consistently forged new models for museum education by developing in-house expertise in a diverse range of tools that enhance public understanding of modern and contemporary art.

“Damn,” I thought silently as I opened the envelope from The Curious Scholarship of Dr. Bedcannon. It’s going to be embarrassing if I can’t figure out what to do next… (via thachr = Playing in the Museum)

ArtGameLab Update: Super Going Missions Going Well!

We just received this report back from Ian and Sam, the designers behind Super Going! You can come check out their SFMOMA installment of Super Going as part of ArtGameLab, an exhibition displaying a selection of crowdsourced games that you can play in the museum! Here’s their update:

Super Going has gotten off to a great start at SFMOMA. We’ve seen a lightsaber in the coat check, an incredibly accurate recreation of a Bruce Nauman work, and some very trenchant facial critiques. There are a variety of ArtGameLab missions to do, some of which take place at SFMOMA and others that can be done anywhere. Players have created some great missions of their own online, and on physical cards in person as well, which we’ll be picking up tomorrow and adding to the game. All in all, the first couple weeks have been fun and we’re looking forward to adding more missions to the game as new exhibitions open up.

…My friend and collaborator Sudhu Twari and I proposed a game involving common words used in art discourse. We chose 12 words and assigned a bodily motion to each of them. Like in bingo, players can check off a box each time they see, hear or think of one of these words (and make the motion) while looking at the work in the museum. They can also check boxes if they see someone else make these movements. (Read more: SFMOMA’s ArtGameLab | Benjamin Carpenter)
