Museum director of M+, the contemporary art and design museum opening in the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong this year

“Slowing down, travelling less and using various digital platforms to connect will also see new forms of creative work [emerge]. Artists and creative thinkers will use the tools at hand to reflect on this time, and this forms part of that recovery that we are all yearning for as well. Going forward, all museums will embrace the parallel strands of digital and physical experience. At M+ we have been very clear that our digital museum has to be as active, developed and sophisticated as the physical museum. There is real pleasure in the social activity that the museum offers with the object-based experience at the heart. The digital aspect complements and elevates the relationship between the two.”
