Refining how visitors interact with exhibits

Gunnar Behrens, Managing Director, Archimedes Exhibitions, Germany

You only have so much time to help visitors understand how to use an exhibit before they turn away in fustration. How can 3D design, graphics and text be used to help visitors engage with your exhibit without patronizing or asking too much of them? This workshop will look at failed and successful examples. The animators will bring real exhibit ideas from their own experience for participants to discuss in groups. The groups will present their results, and then the original solutions will be shown. Participants are invited to suggest their own design challenges for discussion.

Time to bridge the gap: Making collection objects interactive

Patricia Verheyden, Experience director, Technopolis, the Flemish Science Center, Belgium

How can institutions overcome barriers between curatorial and interactive exhibit departments? How can we move beyond ways of thinking that often prevent us from designing exhibitions that combine ‘museum objects’ and ‘interactive exhibits’ in a holistic, integrated way? What are the practical challenges involved and what are the benefits?

Organizing events in exhibition spaces

Moeko TABATA, Science communicator, National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan), Japan

An exhibition is a set of exhibits wherein the visitor walks through, touching nd experiencing one after the other. From time to time, however, our visitors like like to have real person-to-person contact. The visitor wants to talk, demonstrate their ability, participate in a group, compete or be recognized or distinguished. Do we want to offer visitors these opportunities in our exhibitions? Some science centres do it. Let’s exchange our best practices. and determinethe pros and cons for events that can enliven our exhibitions.

Ce qui est subversif aujourd’hui, ce n’est pas de transgresser le droit d’auteur, geste banal  commis chaque jour par des milliers d’internautes, mais au contraire d’inscrire son art dans un cadre juridique apaisé et d’offrir cette paix aux visiteurs.

so many museums seem to miss some basic elements when people visit them.

Most of the studies of museum-goers that I’ve seen rely on questionnaires

Pour Sennett, nos conversations peuvent suivre deux voies différentes. La voie dialectique qui porte sur le jeu verbal des contraires qui graduellement permet de construire une synthèse. La voie dialogique, elle, consiste plutôt en un échange mutuel pour lui-même, plus à l’écoute de l’autre, rebondissant sur les expériences de l’autre d’une manière plus ouverte.

 

“Beaucoup de programmes imaginent la coopération sur un mode dialectique plutôt que dialogique ce qui produit un résultat qui tend à contraindre l’expérience et inhiber la coopération” explique Sennett. “La société moderne est bien meilleure à organiser la première forme d’échange que la seconde ; meilleure à communiquer via des arguments dialectiques que de penser des discussions dialogiques.” Elle peine à imaginer la communauté comme un processus

Le capitalisme moderne a déséquilibré la concurrence et la coopération et a rendu, de fait, la coopération moins ouverte, moins dialogique

Le dessin est le roi du récit

« Elles n'ont plus besoin d'un ministère condescendant, qui porterait la ''culture légitime'' de Paris vers la province », estime Philippe Chantepie, chargé de mission au ministère, coordinateur du rapport Un ministère nouvelle génér@tion, publié en avril. « Le lien doit devenir horizontal et non plus vertical, évoluer vers un véritable partenariat. »

Many arts organisations feel under pressure to develop apps, worrying that they will fall behind the technological curve if they don’t offer a way to interact with them on the move and the result is poor apps and rich app developers.

Faced with expensive development costs and fragmented smart phone platforms, I believe that arts organisations should take a step back from apps and first consider how their website is working on the smaller screen of these devices.

The Design Studio methodology provides a collaborative, pragmatic process of illumination, sketching, presentation, critique, and iteration, leading to a shared vision and hopefully a more coherent and elegant solution.

Another effective way of getting execs back in tune with the customer is the practice of creating personas
