Editorial bio
Amr Hussein came to the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi with 12+ years in global digital media – FIFA World Cup, Olympic Games, international broadcasting – and is now shaping the museum's digital voice ahead of its 2027 opening. His remit is unusually broad: digital storytelling, content production and accessibility, all under one brief.
What makes the position worth watching is where AI and immersive media land inside a museum that hasn't opened yet. He has room to decide, in advance of the first visitor, what the platforms owe to the audience – in particular to the regional audience the Guggenheim is explicitly built to connect with contemporary art.
Worth following if you want culture-sector AI done by someone who's shipped at Olympic scale, not demoed in a sandbox.
