Museu.xyz: Bridging Tangible, Intangible, and Digital Realms in Exhibition Design
In the context of Encountering Transition, this presentation examines the evolving landscape of exhibition design, focusing on the integration of tangible, intangible, and digital elements. As museums adapt to rapidly changing global and local environments, innovative approaches in exhibition design are crucial for enhancing visitor engagement and cultural appreciation.
This contribution explores the synergy of Western and Eastern aesthetics within digital exhibition spaces, as exemplified by Museu.xyz. Highlighting projects such as Metadiversity ("Metaversidade"), "CryptoRastas", Feminu (an exhibition solely for women), and NFTrans, we will discuss the incorporation of advanced digital, interactive, and immersive technologies. These initiatives showcase how the metaverse can facilitate engaging and culturally enriched experiences, bridging traditional and digital exhibition modalities (Studio Int'l).
The presentation will investigate culturally sensitive exhibition design, focusing on the effective representation of diverse traditions. We will explore innovative methodologies for creating narrative environments that respect and reflect varied social and cultural contexts. Strategies for adapting exhibitions to different cultural settings will be discussed, addressing challenges in preserving and transmitting intangible heritage.
Emphasizing the role of Sensory and Universal design in fostering inclusivity, this segment will present examples from Museu.xyz that enhance accessibility within digital spaces. The discussion will include social curation projects that advocate for diverse content creation and knowledge dissemination, highlighting the collaborative efforts of architects, curators, and designers in creating inclusive and impactful exhibitions (Studio Int'l).
Case Study: As an institution in the metaverse, Museu.xyz serves as a model for integrating traditional and digital exhibition spaces. It offers a persistent, interactive platform that bridges the physical and virtual realms, creating an inclusive space for both artists and audiences. This case study will illustrate the transformative potential of digital exhibitions in enhancing cultural narratives and accessibility, demonstrating how Museu.xyz is at the forefront of exhibition
