This paper argues that interaction design (IxD) can suggest valid solutions in rethinking museum mediation, focusing on conservation data as reference case study. Eliciting interest, it is possible to conceive meaningful and authentic experiences, aimed at activating a transformative dialogue with the visitors: with this approach, audiences are cre...

... demonstrated in fact the presence of at least six versions [D'A19]. In these changes, as proven by the cross section photomicrographs, the chosen palette was drastically modified, considering that the first version was characterized by the bright and "aggressive" colors which are typical of the Fauvist aesthetics. Moreover, X-Radiography (see Fig. 2) showed a clear rearrangement of the position of the characters and of the natural ...
Context 2
... following section presents a first proof of concept of an interactive application based on the conservation data retrieved during the physicochemical analysis conducted on Matisse's Les Demoiselles à la rivière [D'A19]. In particular, this first experiment is focused on the followin X-Radiography (Fig. 2). The experience produced meaningful results even with a minimal set up in terms of number of participants, constraints, and instruments. In particular, to what pertains the former aspect, about ten Italian university students, aged between 19 and 23 years old, were involved. This audience was quite homogeneous for different ...

Designing and implementing visualizations is a challenging task, in particular in cases in which several experts have to be included in the design process stemming from research fields like data analytics, data science, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, design, software engineering, mathematics, and visualiza-tion itself.

While research indicates that indoor lighting, exposure to daylight, physical activity, and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood, and daily rhythm, strategies are needed to support behavioral changes among older adults who often spend more time at home after retirement. The objective was to design a web-based course to encourage behavior c...

This paper presents a study conducted in the framework of the PERCEIVE project, which focuses on fostering a “caring attitude” towards Art collections threatened by the phenomenon of colour change. “Sense of care” is indeed shown to exist only if there is a relationship between caregiver and care-receiver and can be elicited using specific triggers, such as “hooks” based on users' curiosity starting from a “knowledge gap”. As art practices are proved to elicit transformation in users' behaviours, this article starts from the assumption that visitors' artistic engagement could be also applied in interactive applications to improve visitors' caring attitude. We hence describe an experimental protocol for a first qualitative evaluation of a “caring prototype”, which pursues this goal, focusing on Matisse's «Bathers by a River» as case study, starting from conservation data. The results show the potentiality of this approach as new participatory strategy towards conservation data.
