The Museum of the Moving Image focuses on the narrativizing the technological developments of moving image history. Through its exhibitions, screenings, education programs, digital literacy initiatives, and cutting-edge media labs the institution purports to create a shared experience for its users that reconciles the past, present, and future of audiovisual media. The site operates out of Queens, in the former building of the Astoria Studios, Thursday through Sunday devoting it’s three-level floor capacity to a series of permanent and rotating exhibitions.
While working with The Wiz collection, the internship site provided a valuable window to apply many of the collection management and metadata skills addressed throughout the MIAP Spring semester. It was great to highlight the effectiveness of the research conducted and demonstrate the importance of how these practices helped link the museum’s activities to its surrounding community.
