HANGZHOU, China, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
The China National Silk Museum held the Silk Road Online Curating Competition
from April to July 2022, co-organized by Shanghai University and supported by
Manycore Tech Inc. (KOOL). The competition attracted the participation of over
120 universities including Peking University, Fudan University, Zhejiang
University, University of the Arts London and many other universities, as well
as more than 20 museums and a large group of designers. 127 online exhibitions
were curated and divided into Cultural Heritage and Museology Group and Design
Group with the two groups awarded respectively.
The competition is powered by the Silk Road Online Museum (SROM) platform, a
platform with its main concepts focusing on "digital collaboration" and "3D
online curating". It has brought together more than 2,000 digital artifacts
from more than 40 museums worldwide. Curators and designers can design and
curate exhibitions through the SROM platform by selecting artifacts from the
Digital Collection, doing extensive academic research, building or selecting a
gallery, selecting glass showcases, arranging display tools, writing
explanation labels, and finally creating a 3D virtual exhibition. Additionally,
the exhibition works can also be shared on social media, thus attracting more
audiences.
The Silk Road Online Curating Competition culminated on the evening of July 8,
with an award ceremony held in the China National Silk Museum. At the ceremony,
Liu Shuguang, President of the Chinese Museums Association/ICOM-China,
commented, "this is such an innovative competition that is in the breast with
this digital age. And it is also such a cheerful gathering of emerging
curators, from which we can see their passion and dedication toward the Silk
Road culture." Director of China National Silk Museum Dr. Zhao Feng, and also
the Chair of the Competition Organizer, said, "from SROM and the competition, I
hope museums in the future could be more accessible, collaborative, and
transparent, to help build a more democratic and hybrid museum curating and
education system."
Since its establishment in 2021, SROM platform has not only been active in
fostering collaboration among museums, but also in bringing the influence of
museums into universities and society. The competition has attracted numerous
applicants who have gone on to become "Digital Curators". They have energized
the SROM platform and empowered it to display more deeply its creative
functions, making the platform more user-based and sustainable.
