This project assesses digital content at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It asks: How are digital components embedded in a cultural institution as large as the Met? And how does that affect the visitor and research experience inside and outside the museum building? This question will be explored through three categories: the mediated in-person experience, the design of digital exhibitions online, and the availability of collection data via the museum’s API.

Alyse (she/hers) is an artist, archivist, data visualist, memory mapper, and food scholar. Her academic research examines embodied, emotional, and cultural experiences of data and archival information, particularly through the acts of cooking and eating. She stands by the idea that food is political and seeks to use critical archival storytelling to uncover personal and community histories through food. This May, she will earn an MSLIS from Pratt Institute with an Advanced Certificate in Spatial Analysis and Design.
