Episode 2123 - From Tech History to Future Innovators: MIMMS Museum on Curation, Apple Collection, and Bridging Technology & Art
MIMMS Museum of Technology and Art founders, Karin and Lonnie, recently joined The Ash Said It Show for an exclusive interview, providing an in-depth look at their new, highly-anticipated iNSPIRE exhibit. The conversation covered the museum's origin story, the curation process for the largest public collection of Apple products ever assembled, and the unique intersection of technology and art.
The Vision: Why a Museum for Tech?
The founders first discussed the driving force behind the museum's creation. They detailed the specific inspiration that led to the launch of a highly shareable social media campaign, "Show Us Your Apples," designed to promote the new exhibit. This campaign aims to tap into the public's emotional connection and personal history with Apple innovation.
Curating iNSPIRE: The Apple Collection
Lonnie shared insights into the immense scale of the iNSPIRE exhibit, which is billed as the most extensive public collection of Apple products anywhere. The founders revealed the intensive curatorial process required for a collection of this magnitude, touching on the most challenging artifacts to acquire and the surprising items that tell a richer, untold history of Apple. Visitors can expect to find stories and artifacts unavailable in books or online archives.
Bridging Technology and Art
A central focus of the discussion was how the MIMMS Museum blends its two components: technology and art. Lonnie explained how the iNSPIRE exhibit successfully bridges this gap, confirming that the display will feature art pieces and creative works inspired by Apple products.
* Interactive Exhibits: Following the art discussion, the founders touched on the planned interactive exhibits, many of which will also feature a creative or art component, ensuring an engaging, hands-on visitor experience.
The Future of Public Engagement
When asked about the highly successful "Show Us Your Apples" campaign, the founders addressed their plans for integrating submissions. They confirmed that the museum is waiting to gauge the full public response but plans to incorporate submissions digitally and through social sharing. The public’s personal stories and photos are intended to be a vital part of the overall experience.
The Message for the Next Generation
The conversation concluded with a powerful question about legacy and purpose: Why is it crucial to dedicate a massive museum exhibit to a company's past innovations in a world defined by constant technological release? Lonnie and Karin shared the overarching message they hope to convey to the next generation of innovators who visit MIMMS, emphasizing the importance of studying history to shape the future of technology.
