Connected Objects - Beyond the Glass Exhibit
Lunchtime Talks
Please note: This event took place in Feb 2015
Lunchtime Talks are a series of informal presentations at Watershed's Pervasive Media Studio. They normally take place at 13:00 on a Friday, are free and are open to everybody who is interested in what they do. Come along, bring a sandwich, and get to know more about the Studio community, current and up-coming projects, or residents' work.
In this week's talk Julian Sykes, Jaqui Mulville and Andrew Cochrane discuss Connected Objects, a REACT funded project that looks at how we can bring personalisation and role playing gaming techniques to the museum experience. They'll be discussing how they have been working with diverse groups, investigating how best to scan ancient objects, in order to reproduce them through 3D printing and how they have been delving into the varied histories of the Vikings, to discover better and novel ways of engaging an audience.
They'll be exploring how personalising the narrative with additional sensual engagements, can bring new levels of knowledge and excitement to a gallery visit.
The Pervasive Media Studio is located within the Watershed building. Let us know if you'd like a tour and we'll be happy to show you around. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk
