Abstract:

Founded in 1941, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) is the region's foremost forum devoted to the exploration and presentation of the art of our time, presenting works across all media created since 1950. With two distinct locations, one located in the coastal community of La Jolla and the other in the heart of downtown San Diego, MCASD provides an unprecedented variety of exhibition spaces and experiences for the community, showcasing an internationally recognized collection and a dynamic schedule of exhibitions and public programs.

Focusing on providing access to its permanent collection, MCASD has found that social media is a great tool to connect with a wider audience. Tour the exhibition ICONIC:MCASD (Abstraction),which emphasizes the strength of the Museum’s holdings of abstract art, and learn about the successes and challenges of connecting audiences with our online collection through social media. This tour will be lead by Education Curator, Cris Scorza.

Abstract:

“Who are you Peter ?” is the opening question of this temporary exhibition which invites visitors to travel a country where childhood fantasy and creative dialogue inspired and galvanize.Peter Pan is the boy who refuses to grow up. He lives in childhood as you live the utopia without worrying about the impossible, limitations or human fate. Thirteen contemporary artists assist the Espace culturel Louis Vuitton to explore each aspect of the myth, outlining the overall profile of the troublemaker.

An exclusive iPad application has been developped to sensitize young people to contemporary art and artists interpretation. As a part of the contemporary art exhibition, theiPad application was intended for children ages 8 to 12. This application is designed to promote awareness of young audiences to the art of exhibition and transmission of artists voices. The theme of the exhibition – journey through childhood – is the frame of a treasure hunt for a period of time that takes place in the exhibition space with 8 iPads available free of charge.

Children can create a narrative and by grouping all of the proposals generated during a trip; the application builds a vision of the exhibition from the perspective of the young public. At the end of the individual tour, bringing all the iPads together makes one big image and an artistic vision of a new Peter Pan.

Abstract:

In 2009 Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam started the project ARtours. This project investigates and produces augmented reality tours around the collection of the Stedelijk and modern art in general. The project aims at both indoor and outdoor applications:

Indoor as a replacement or addition to the classic audio tour.
Outdoor as a new experience and new interactions with modern art

In both instances not only the current collection is used but also new developed art forms and new narratives will be incorporated in the project.

The paper will describe the project in all its aspects. Ranging from AR technologies and AR mobile browsers to storytelling and enhancing the user experience inside and outside the museum. The two year project is halfway. Several pilots and its conclusions from this first period will be described. One of the pilots is ‘Ik op het museumplein’ (myself on the museum square). Virtual three dimensional art is presented on specific locations and accessible through the augmented reality browser Layar. Outside on the museum square in Amsterdam people with an Iphone or Adroid smart phone with Layar can walk around and engage with virtual art (virtual 3D objects and sound). Another pilot is a virtual art library. Again with the use of Layar users can borrow art objects from the museum and place these objects in the space around them. This pilot was conducted during the Lowlands music festival in the summer. A third pilot is the design tour. In an walk through the city of Amsterdam users can experience (interior, product, graphic) design in it’s context. Users can walk from one virtual object to another and learn more about the object and the place it is linked to.

The project focuses on a wide range of aspects such as technical, user experience, creation and management of information, indoor and outdoor, young and older audiences.
