DIY Museums

How do we collect, archive and categorise a fragmented, diverse and exploding digital culture? In DIY Museums Marcus Westbury visits a Pop Culture convention and works his way through an army of Star Wars characters and anime geeks to find some artists producing original and evocative Australian culture. From the convention, he travels via a DVD distributor, to some of the country's leading cultural institutions. Marcus is trying to figure out the place and role of museums in a world where visits to museum websites now outnumber physical visits to museums by a factor of 10 to one, and where traditional ideas of 'authority' are under attack from an army of armchair experts.
