Welcome to
the Adobe Thread on Skunkworks.
As a beginning, please let me know what you would like to
discuss on this thread.
We will feature the following on this thread every week in
addition to the topics we pick here.
Top News :
The Adobe Museum of Digital Media (AMDM) is a unique virtual
space designed to showcase and preserve groundbreaking digital
work and to present expert commentary on how digital media
influences culture and society.
The museum is an ever-changing repository of eclectic exhibits
from diverse fields ranging from photography to product
development to broadcast communications. To inspire fresh
conversation on the constantly evolving digital landscape,
exhibits are overseen by guest curators, each of whom is a
recognized leader in the field of art, technology, or business.
The AMDM is a space unlike any created before. Because it is
entirely digital, it is an ideal gallery for displaying and
viewing digital media, as well as revealing the innovation and
artistry within the work. It is open to the public 365 days a
year and is accessible from anywhere in the world.
About the structure
The building itself was designed by Italian architect Filippo
Innocenti, a master of fluid urban designs for large, public
installations. Innocenti collaborated closely with award-winning
designer Piero Frescobaldi, who served as the "building
contractor" for construction of the virtual space. Adobe is
proud to serve as patron on the project.
The inaugural exhibit
The museum's first exhibit, scheduled to open August 2010, will
feature work by Tony Oursler, a New York artist whose
explorations in moving images and digital communications have
been featured in museums on both U.S. coasts, as well as in
Spain and New Zealand.
The exhibit will be curated by Tom Eccles, executive director of
the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. Eccles was
formerly director of the Public Art Fund in New York City, where
he curated more than 100 exhibitions and organized outdoor
projects in collaboration with numerous institutions including
the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, and the New
Museum.
Become a member when you visit the AMDM and enjoy special
