Total Space

Museum für Gestaltung, Zürich – Exhibition: 23.10.20 > 20.06.21

Dive in, experience, participate! In museums across the globe, elaborate stage sets and expansive installations spellbind visitors. Today’s exhibition halls are filled with light shows, slides and huge toadstools, all designed to meet the needs of the thrill-seeking society. Which new experiences do these playgrounds enable young and old to make and how do they change the museum experience? Total Space provides an up-to-date overview of current developments and reflects on this trend. Innovative installations, digital environments, and interactive stations devised by inter-national designers create a multi-layered world of experience that can be explored with all the senses.

ANTWERP 1920-2020: STANDING IN SOLIDARITY, UNITED UNDER THE SAME FLAG

Exhibition in The Olympic Museum, Lausanne

An exhibition on the 100th anniversary of the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp at The Olympic Museum.

The 1920 edition has, of course, been chosen for a reason:

100 YEARS AGO: The Games in Antwerp were the first to be organised after World War I, the cancellation of the 1916 Games due to be held in Berlin, and the Spanish flu pandemic. These Games were a call for peace and unity between the nations beneath the Olympic flag, which was being flown in a stadium for the first time.

AND TODAY: The world of 1920 reminds us of our world today. Because of the coronavirus, we need to rebuild our confidence in the future. Lockdown has created a tremendous feeling of unity and solidarity, to which the Olympic Movement is contributing with its #StayStrong #StayActive #StayHealthy digital campaign, launched after the Tokyo 2020 Games were postponed until 2021. The Olympic flag is still aloft, an invitation to help build a better world through sport.

Joseph Cornell miniatures

Although he rarely ventured far from New York, Joseph Cornell was able to create intricate worlds of his own from the solitude of his basement. In this episode of Anatomy of an Artwork, discover Cornell’s enchanting Soap Bubble Set, a perfect example of the artist’s miniaturized realms constructed from everyday ephemera. With symmetrically laid out clay pipes, glasses, maps and organic detritus, Cornell built a vast referential network of found items that encapsulated his many interests from across the arts & sciences.

How Museums are using Augmented Reality

Charlotte Coates
Original paper on MuseumNext >

Augmented reality is the process of using technology to superimpose images, text or sounds on top of what a person can already see. It uses a smartphone or tablet to alter the existing picture, via an app. The user stands in front of a scene and holds up their device. It will show them an altered version of reality. There are many ways that museums could be using augmented reality.

A few of the most well-known applications of AR technology are from the gaming world. For example, Pokémon Go, the game where users can ‘catch’ Pokémon hiding in the world around them. Animated creatures are superimposed onto what players can see through their device’s camera. The technology makes them appear as if they are existing in the real world. The app has been downloaded almost 11.5 million times. This shows that AR is accessible, and has the potential to reach a huge audience.

How can museums use augmented reality?

There are many possibilities for the use of AR in museums. The most straightforward way is to use it to add explanations of pieces. This means visitors will get more information when they view exhibitions using AR. Museums could even use it to display digital versions of artists next to their work. These 3D personas are then able to provide a narration. AR gives an opportunity to add a third dimension to displays, bringing objects or scenes to life. There are already many institutions around the world using AR. These projects bring something new to existing collections and attract wider audiences. Here are some interesting ways that museums are using augmented reality.
