John Markoff (NY Times) writes:

“What the museum has done with computers and interactivity, however, is impressive.”

“Several exhibits seem to break new ground in melding the museum’s traditional hands-on philosophy with computerized scientific visualization techniques that make it possible to manipulate the vast data sets that are increasingly referred to as big data.”

As Director of New Media—before, during and after the museums historic relocation—I recruited and mentored a team of extraordinarily talented and innovative developers, and guided our use of new technologies to align with the Exploratorium’s unique ethos and speak to diverse audiences.
