DAY-BY-DAY AGENDA
This plenary session outlines the dynamic and expanding role of media within the institutional environment and the issues and challenges that will be explored in sessions throughout the conference.
Technology is changing the way we define an exhibition. Visitors expect more sophisticated, immersive experiences. As a result, the whole concept of what an exhibit is has changed, inviting visitor participation and moving beyond the museum’s walls.
In this fast-paced, 50-minute workshop, you will get a hands-on introductory overview to the leading media creation package, Final Cut Studio.
From nano to the galactic, the domed environment is a natural way to recreate how the brain absorbs information. Dramatic examples of the three-dimensional experience, including the recently released Denver Museum of Nature & Science production, Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity.
12 – 1 PM SESSION THREE
SPECIAL SCREENING
BLACK HOLES: THE OTHER SIDE OF INFINITY
Denver Museum of Nature & Science
There’s a place from which nothing escapes, not even light, where time and space literally come to end. It’s at this point, inside this fantastic riddle, that black holes exert their sway over the cosmos…and our imaginations. In this popular planetarium show, produced by the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, you’ll zip through other-worldly wormholes, experience the creation of the Milky Way Galaxy, and witness the violent death of a star and subsequent birth of a black hole. Mathematical equations, cutting-edge science, and Einstein’s theories fill in holes along the way, providing the most complete picture yet on this mysterious phenomenon. Can you feel the pull?

Black holes haunt our universe, dark centers of gravity that swallow everything in their path. What would you see if you got close enough to fall past the point of no return and into a netherworld of twisted space and time? In recent years, scientists have begun to probe these cosmic monsters with a new generation of high-energy satellites and they are using the world’s most powerful computers to understand their violent workings. A few maverick scientists are now following a strange trail of energy leading into the once forbidden realm of their inner core.

Empowering visitors to be active producers of their experiences with art, the Arts Network borrows from television network architecture to provide a museum-wide system for program development and delivery. We’ll discuss approach taken to make the transition from "siloed", disparate databases and departments to a decentralized, standards-based, media-rich content management system that will grow along with the Museum’s needs. An overview of achievements and lessons learned, topics will include enterprise architecture planning, metadata standards, and cost analysis to assist those taking on a similar challenge.

On Canada's remote Ellesmere Island, where June is Spring, July is Summer and August is already Autumn, the race is on for two remarkable species to raise their families. The white gyr falcon is enormous, the largest and most powerful falcon in the world. Yet last summer, the nesting falcon pair here failed to raise any young. The rare Arctic wolves rely on every member of the pack to chase and bring down the prey that keeps them alive. Last year was good to them, and they raised three pups. But for the wolves and the falcons, as well for as the snowy owls, musk oxen, lemmings, Arctic foxes and hares who share this fragile ecosystem with them, fortunes are always precarious. What will happen this year? This screening event will be open to the public.
Users have become active co-creators of their media, commerce and entertainment distributing via peer-to-peer networks around the world. From social networks to viral marketing and web streaming, the internet has become a pervasive and integral component of the nonbroadcast media market.

The story of the world's first satellite, Sputnik, is well known in the annals of space history. Not as well understood is how the United States responded to the Russian challenge. Explorer 1: Beginnings of the Space Age documents the pivotal role that Jet Propulsion Laboratory played in designing and getting into orbit America's first satellite. Produced in high-definition video, the film interweaves rare archival film and photographs, interviews with actual participants and insights of authoritative historians of the period. The result is a fascinating glimpse into the days of the Cold War when international politics and then state-of-the-art technology collided, opening up an entirely new frontier for competition and exploration. In the months following the launch of Explorer, NASA could come into being and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory was already transforming itself from making missiles into the world's premier center for the robotic exploration of the solar system and beyond.

In a final plenary session, Symposium visionaries offer provocative observations on what emerged through the week--where we stand, where we want to be going, and what is standing in the way.
Narrated by award-winning actor Gary Sinise, When We Left Earth is the incredible story of humankind’s greatest adventure, as it happened, told by the people who were there. From the early quest of the Mercury program to put a man in space, to the historic moon landings, to the first un-tethered space walk by Bruce McCandless, this is how the space age came of age.
Landing the Eagle: The Apollo program is set to achieve the ultimate prize of the Space Race, landing men on the moon. But a fire breaks out in the pressurized capsule of Apollo 1, resulting in the deaths of Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. Tragedy turns to triumph with the first manned launch of the formidable Saturn V rocket, lifting three astronauts into deep space for the first time. Two missions later and NASA is ready to land men on the moon in the ultimate test of America's spacefaring vision.
