Milwaukee Art Museum adds Flash Video

Ascedia has developed a flash video distributed segment for the Milwaukee Art Museum. The project involved ripping video from an existing segment's encoding, reencoding the video, compressing the video, and importing the video into flash for viewing on the web. The video promotes the exhibition CUT/Film as Found Object. The exhibition runs through September 11, 2005.

Since 2003, Ascedia has been a development partner of the Milwaukee Art Museum. Ascedia's current design of the Milwaukee Art Museum's website was chosen as the best from numerous agencies' proposals.

The Milwaukee Art Museum has received numerous national and international honors since the completion of its expansion in 2001. The Museum was awarded Time magazine's “Best Design of 2001.” USA Weekend titled MAM one of the five most important buildings of the 21st century. In 2002, the Museum was named among the “New Wonders of the World” by Conde Nast Traveler magazine. In 2003, MAM was designated one of three “New American Beauties” by PEOPLE magazine. Most recently in 2005, Smithsonian magazine named MAM one of “Seven Special Places to Visit This Summer” in its Destination America feature.
