Technological developments are such that artists, registrars, curators, researchers and visitors alike get carried away. The Invisible Person of the Technisches Museum can bridge this gap. Interactive multi-media technology and this artificial intelligence installation would enable people to obtain comprehensive information on the creation, occasion, materialization, function and original presentation of the museum objects, as well as reactions and documentations, the work set against the technical background, society, life in general and scientific discourse. Each item of information has its raison d' tre in terms of instructiveness. It makes little sense to feed more and more data into the computer, creating a collection of dead material, useless classifications and senseless information.
Documentation is interpretation.
This means, that registrars, curators and the visitors are responsible for the value of information. We need a discussion about the boundaries and possibilities. By defining the boundaries, the questions and the contents, working with information technology becomes useful for everyone. We have to realize that all collecting, researching, educating and conserving has no sense, if the actual egoistic thinking of our consumer society precipitates the collapse of humanity, culture and civilisation. The museum makes an important contribution to humanity.
