Although until now Museology has relied on documents which memorialize
the past, it is being forced to transform significantly. As is well
known the etymology of the word "museum" comes from "muse"
the Goddess of Memory, and originally the museum functioned as the
topos of memory and the regime of memorialization.
From now the form and structure of memory will become the foundation
of art and it is expected that memory itself will play the role of
integrating art. Memory is not something that already exists a priori,
but is something that is continually made and re-made. We are struggling
to conceptualize how it will be possible for the museum to become
a creative setting where memories won't document the past, but will
project the future, and we are striving for ways to imagine how museums
should exist as the topos to re-assemble and re-edit memories. We
will discuss these problematics within a horizon of the evolution
of network technology and the future vision of the ways to construct
new data bases.
