Vince Dziekan is a senior academic and practitioner-researcher at Monash Art Design and Architecture (Monash University, Australia), and holds an Honorary Research Fellowship with the Institute for Digital Culture (University of Leicester, UK). Vince’s research focuses on culture sector challenges by engaging with transformations of contemporary curatorial practices at the intersection of emerging design practices, creative technology and museum culture. The interdisciplinary scope of his research practice is represented in his books: Museums and Digital Confidence (co-edited with Ross Parry and Karin de Wild; Routledge, 2025), Museums and design practices (co-authored with Marco Mason, Routledge, 2025), The Routledge Handbook of Museums, Media and Communication (co-edited with Kirsten Drotner, Ross Parry and Kim Christian Schrøder; Routledge, 2018) and Virtuality and the Art of Exhibition: Curatorial Design for the Multimedial Museum (Intellect Books, UK; University of Chicago Press, 2012).
Vince has published widely in traditional, scholarly formats as well as in non-traditional modes through creative works and curatorial practice. He has served as associate editor of Curator: The Museum Journal (Wiley), and general editor of The Encyclopaedia of New Media Art (Bloomsbury). In his curatorial research he has produced exhibitions at national and international levels and established new curatorial initiatives and platforms, including MWX (Museums and the Web, USA; launched in 2013), and Leonardo Electronic Almanac’s Media Exhibition Platform (introduced in 2010). He was an international advisor for 'One by One': building the digital literacies of UK museums (AHRC, 2017-20), held research affiliations with the National Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne), FACT (Liverpool, UK), and is co-directing ASSEMBLY, a research development initiative exploring new forms of collaborative museum research in association with the Australian Museums and Galleries Association.
