THE EXPLODED MUSEUM

We are now starting a three week project with Anthony Rowe as owr main tutor.

This is a collaboration project with InterMedia, an interdisciplinary research center at the University of Oslo.

We are a group of students working on new ideas for an interactive museum experience.

Brief;

What are the affordances(and constraints) of interactive and sosial media in museum settings? How can technologies enhance visitors experience and interaction with museum artefacts, providing deeper understanding and engagement?

This is a videoskech of one of my ideas ;

This is the consept…

SPEAK UP!

Input; sms, Output; projectors

Target: The National Gallery in Oslo, Norway

Main target group: Non experts

User journey:

The user walk into the museum and goes to choosen painting. Above(?) the painting is a question. The user can chose to answer the question or not. The user answars the question by responding to a number by sms. The sms is than projected on the wall, and the user recives a code that can be used on a later stage.

There is a set of questions that can be used, they change randomly(?). The answars to a spesific question will follow the question. The amount of answars can be various.

Other possible ideas:

1.We are talking about having a screen/projection outside the wall of the museum that show the picture, question and comments that are inside the museum. The picture will randomly show the different paintings beeing commented.

2.School classes will have the possibility to write a story/answar together to a question by sending a code message sms with group.

Context:

We are 4 students from AHO in this group; me, Ivan, Martin and Theo. The other group: Svein, Synne, Natasha and Fanny will possibly work with a touch table that are prosessing all the answars that comes out of owr project. The InterMedia people will help us programming owr ideas so we can make something real that actually works.
