- | As the collective global body of art grows in size and becomes increasingly digital, museum curators are faced with the challenge of showcasing this art with the limited space and time available to them. | + | Watch our Video: |
- | Additionally, | + | |
- | Curation itself is difficult to both teach and study, given that the full experience of an exposition traditionally requires actually doing the whole work of physically arranging and displaying the selected works of art. If said art would need to be transported from other museums, this is not feasible. | + | {{: |

- | We showcase a first exposition with a 3D-Model of the globe as a centerpiece and works of art from various collections | + | |
+ | • The challenge of exhibition space: | ||
+ | many collections, | ||
+ | |||
+ | • The challenge of exhibiting light-sensitive artworks: | ||
+ | some artworks – especially art on paper – are very sensitive to the light and are in danger of serious damaged when they are permanently exposed. That’s why the Graphische Sammlung ETH Zurich can’t present their treasures in a permanent exhibition to the public | ||
+ | |||
+ | • The challenge of involving the public: | ||
+ | nowadays the visitors do not want to be reduced to be passive consumers, they want and appreciate active involvement | ||
+ | |||
+ | • The challenge of the scale: | ||
+ | in usual 2D digital presentations the user does not get information about the real scale of the artworks and gets wrong ideas about the dimensions | ||
+ | |||
+ | • The challenge of showing 3D objects in the digital space: | ||
+ | many museum databases show only one or two digital images of their 3D objects, so the user gets only a very limited impression | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our Hackathon prototype for a virtual 3D exhibition in VR | ||
+ | |||
+ | • offers unlimited exhibition space in the virtual reality | ||
+ | |||
+ | • makes it possible to exhibit light sensitive artworks permanently using their digital reproductions | ||
+ | |||
+ | • involves the public inviting them to slip into the role of the curator | ||
+ | |||
+ | • shows the artwork in the correct scale | ||
+ | |||
+ | • and gives the users the opportunity to walk around the 3D objects in the virtual space | ||

+ | On the very first day, we create our data model on paper by ensuring everybody got a chance to present their use cases, stories and needs. {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | On Friday evening, we had a first prototype | ||
+ | |||
+ | On Saturday, we created our interim presentation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Saturday evening saw our prototype almost finished! Below a screenshot of two rooms, one curated by experts and the other one containing artificially generated art. {{ : | ||

+ | |||
+ | Our final project status involves a polished prototype with an example exhibition consisting of two rooms: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Walking Around The Globe: A room | ||
+ | curated by art experts, exhibiting a selection of old | ||
+ | masterpieces (15th | ||
+ | century to today). | ||
