“Why Don’t You Speak?” explores the tension between technological innovation and cultural depth in museums. It critiques superficial digital trends and calls for thoughtful integration of tech. The article features Matteo Zaramella, founder of BrAIn, whose app lets statues “speak” using deepfake storytelling. He advocates for respectful, accessible, and personalized museum experiences, emphasizing that AI should enhance—not replace—cultural meaning.

“The Sound of Museums” explores how sound, silence, and voice shape museum experiences. It highlights Officina Fonica Torino’s work in audio storytelling, accessibility, and sonic education. Museums are seen not just as spaces of display, but as relational environments where sound fosters emotion, inclusion, and memory. A smart museum uses technology with care, prioritizing human connection and cultural depth.
