Making Accessible Possible: The ''AccessKit'' in Hirshhorn Museum

本研究以赫胥宏博物館和雕塑花園（Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden）的AccessKit創新科技應用為研究對象，透過訪談專案負責策展人及館內其他部門專業工作者，探討並分析視覺藝術博物館如何透過科技的創新開發和應用，以發展觀看時基媒體藝術具創意的近用方式，從而為包含聽障社群的所有觀眾提供正面、豐富的參觀體驗和意義。
個案分析顯示，導入創新科技應用對於視覺藝術博物館是有益的，能夠賦權、增能並強化感官體驗，然而研發過程中，博物館需要不斷面對新技術的出現，並積極應對相應挑戰，以確保其服務能夠持續創新並有效地滿足多元觀眾的需求，實現藝術博物館創造正面積極且永續服務的文化近用形式。

This research investigates innovative implementations of technology, focusing on the ''AccessKit'' project at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Through interviews with exhibition curators and museum professionals, the research discusses and analyzes how visual art museums develop and apply technology innovations to create diverse and creatively accessible experiences. The study aims to explore how these initiatives positively impact the visiting experience and meaning-making for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community in the context of time-based media art while simultaneously enriching the overall museum experience for all visitors.
The analysis reveals that integrating innovative technological implementations in visual art museums contributes to empowering and enhancing multisensory experiences for all visitors, including those deaf and hard of hearing. However, throughout the development process, museums must continuously face the emergence of new technologies and actively address corresponding challenges to ensure that their services can constantly innovate and effectively meet the diverse needs of audiences, thus realizing a positive and sustainable form of accessibility in art museums.
