NODEM 2013 CONFERENCECALL FOR PARTICIPATION SPECIAL SESSION 3 @ NODEM 2013 CONFERENCE: Experience design inside/outside museums
December 1-3, 2013 Stockholm, Sweden http://www.nodem.org/ ABOUT THE SPECIAL SESSION 3 CO-CHAIRS OF THE SESSION Prof. Anne Balsamo, Dean, School of Media Studies, The New School For Public Engagement, New York PhD Kevin Walker, Head of Information Experience Design, Royal College of Art, London PhD Halina Gottlieb, Founding Director of NODEM, Interactive Institute Swedish ICT, Stockholm Museums are paying more attention to designing a broader notion of visitor experiences beyond traditional exhibition design. This includes experimental in-museum experiences incorporating performance, multiple senses, or alternative models of interaction; as well as experiences no longer confined to a particular place or building, enabled by locative technologies and spread across places, times, and contexts. The aim of this special session is to provide a platform for cultural heritage researchers, museum curators, educators, digital media specialists, designers and others in related industries to explore opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration on the topic of designing public experiences and interactions in distributed museums. We believe that collaboration at this level will spark major breakthroughs in an emergent field at the crossroad of museums studies, interaction design and digital heritage, human-computer interaction, and cultural heritage. SESSION THEMES Paper and project abstracts are invited from significant subfields on the topics such as: — Public interactives that serve as a stage for experiences in public settings such as museums, theme parks, outdoor art spaces, civic plazas, and urban streets; — The use of emerging technologies to simulate or enable 'authentic' experiences within the museum or gallery space; — Emergent forms of public communication designed to engage people in conversations mediated by digital media for information exchange, education, entertainment, or cultural memory; — Use of technology to augment museum experiences through the use of location-based games, trails, algorithms, or computational curation; — Interactive public art that evokes new experiences and perceptions through experiments with scale, mobility, built space, and modes of human engagement in public spaces; — Hacking or making approaches to designing in-museum experiences; — Hybrid cultural technologies brought into the public sphere; — Use of models from UX, online, retail or other areas in relation to museum experience; — Sensory, tactile, embodied technologies in museums, galleries, and public spaces; — Uses of theatre and performative approaches, including blending fact and fiction. This session is NOT about the creation of museum apps, websites or online strategies, unless specifically in the context of mobile museum experience that engage visitors across physical locations and contexts. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE NODEM will bring together museum and heritage professionals (GLAM and heritage sector), innovation experts (universities, research and technology transfer centres, start-ups) and practitioners (SME sector) to enable discussion on the potential of collaboration and innovation. The overarching goal of NODEM 2013 – Beyond Control is to highlight and investigate a variety of challenges that museums and other culture-historical institutions are facing in an increasingly digital, and media saturated, landscape. NODEM 2013 will be held at the Stockholm City Museum, Museum of Medieval Stockholm, Stockholm City Hall and Hilton Hotel under the stewardship of Interactive Institute Swedish ICT in collaboration with Swedish Exhibition Agency. POST-CONFERENCE PUBLICATION All presenters are invited to contribute to the post-conference publication (a journal special issue or edited book with a significant distribution). In addition, the papers and presentations will be published on the NODEM website. SUBMISSIONS NODEM invites contributions in three categories: 1) Research paper abstracts (20 minutes for oral presentation + 10 minutes for discussion) 2) Shorter project presentations (10 minutes for oral presentation + 10 minutes for discussion). 3) Proposals for posters and exhibitions in the Expo space require submission of an abstract, which will be reviewed by the committee.
