"After re-purposing CAPTCHA so each human-typed response helps digitize books, Luis von Ahn wondered how else to use small contributions by many on the Internet for greater good. At TEDxCMU, he shares how his ambitious new project, Duolingo, will help millions learn a new language while translating the Web quickly and accurately -- all for free." -- Courtesy of TED.com

Exhibiting Research VI Museums without Walls: Showing Art in a Digital Age
Wednesday, 7 March 2012 6.00 - 7.30pm, Kenneth Clark Lecture Theatre

Speakers include: Xavier Bray (Chief Curator, Dulwich Picture Gallery) Spencer Hyman (Chief Executive, Art Finder) Kirstie Beaven (Producer, Interactive Media, Tate Online) Joff Whitten (Public Programmes, The Courtauld) Chair: Sarah Hyde (Visiting Lecturer, MA Curating the Art Museum, The Courtauld)

Visit a museum online, search a collection, or join a digital art market. Everything is possible on the internet. But what implications does the virtual presence of art images and collections have for the future of the 'real' museum experience? How do museums meet the public's need for online content? How have digital platforms affected the role of the art curator? Join our panel of speakers as they discuss the current developments that are taking place in the digital realm of museums. Dr Sarah Hyde, as chair, will lead the discussion as the speakers draw on their experiences at diverse institutions to grapple with these issues. This debate is part of the ongoing Exhibiting Research series, organised by The Courtauld Institute of Art's MA Programme Curating the Art Museum in collaboration with the Research Forum. The debate will be followed by a reception and informal discussion. Open to all, free admission
