The energy of the museums
Technology is the obsolete version of technique and science. It is knowledge applied to the transformation of collective life and the environment in which it takes place. The history of energy is one of the most fruitful areas of contemporary reflection on these agreements and disagreements between us and the world we have built. And technical, technological and scientific museums are a key part of the infrastructure of this process of production and movement of knowledge. And if they are a part of the knowledge infrastructure, how do they work in a network? How do they analyse their “consumption” or “reception”? Or how do they manage the necessary redundancy to preserve the memory or the virtual museum of obsolete technology which allows them to continue to demonstrate technique and science? Just a few questions to exchange knowledge between systems, and to give more energy to knowledge.
