On Monday 24 February (2020) ‘A Mirror for Remembering’ (AMFR) was presented at the Kent Medway Museum Conference at the Historic Dockyard Chatham as part of a session entitled ‘Museums for Social Impact’.
A joint presentation was given by Alex May and Luke Currall (Cultural Projects Manager, Tunbridge Wells Borough Council) which focused on the creation and thinking behind the development of AMFR and the process of commissioning digital art. As well as getting to experience the artwork, the audience also heard about concerns regarding the ‘digital dark age’, the importance of digital preservation, and how digital art can enhance a museums collections.
