The Language of Data in the Exhibition Discourse. Intertwining Architects, Curators, Artists, Scientists, and Users
Get PDFAbout the relationm between Architecture and Neuroscience, a possible common ground is the language of data. The data-informed design approach is expanding new research domains, the study of visitor experience in museums being one example. Exhibition spaces are gradually becoming a data ecosystem, which intertwines designers, curators, artists, programmers, scientists, and users. The role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the exhibition and museological context has grown considerably over the years. This essay outlines a critical review of some recent, significant case studies for better understanding the present ICT integration in the exhibit design field. Three categories of ICT applications has been analyzed: smart technology, wearable technology and beacon technology, examining eleven case studies
Analysis of visitors’ mobility patterns through random walk in the Louvre Museum
Get PDFThis paper proposes a random walk model to analyze visitors' mobility
patterns in a large museum. Visitors' available time makes their visiting
styles different, resulting in dissimilarity in the order and number of visited
places and in path sequence length. We analyze all this by comparing a
simulation model and observed data, which provide us the strength of the
visitors' mobility patterns. The obtained results indicate that shorter
stay-type visitors exhibit stronger patterns than those with the longer
stay-type, confirming that the former are more selective than the latter in
terms of their visitation type.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, 4 table
