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 interviews 
with curators and artists, advance viewings of exhibits, access to 
seminars, and exclusive events.
