Abstract

At the time when ‘Spatial Affairs’ were on show at Ludwig Museum, covid lockdowns made access to the physical premises of the museum impossible, and the exhibition was only accessible as an interactive online 360° photogram- metry model. These conditions led to design of the first pilot pore workshop as an online participatory experience in the Mozilla Hubs platform where participants gathered in an artificial immersive virtual space as avatars. The idea was to design an environment where selected artworks from the exhibition, introduced to the group through a virtual guided tour, were used as anchor points to start narrative cycles which would enable participants to project their own experience with the heritage. The main co-creative task was to collaboratively create a spacial story combining autoethnograpy to encourage the first-person point of view followed by duoethnography to support dialogue between multiple participants. Participants used a set of pre-designed 3D artboards which provided additional information about the selected artworks and afforded further contextualization of the works. Participants could select and place the artboards in an order which would make sense for them adding own perceptions, feelings and thoughts written as texts or taken as pictures by a virtual camera tool available in the Mozilla Hubs. The story was finally titled providing a frame through which it could be read. Observation, video recordings of the activities in the staged 3D environment and discussion with the participants were used as qualitative inputs to reflect on the process and learn more about the audience experiences.

Developing the workshop model consisted of designing a complex system (or dramaturgy) involving different elements that make up a workshop event, involving the digital heritage, design objects, the guided tour, the co-creative tasks, the immersive environment, the tools and the participants.

The PORe (Performance-Oriented Research Methods for Audience Studies and Exhibition Evaluation) is a framework allowing for exploratory research, creativity and openness promoting participation, new experiences and co-creation of new content by the museum visitors.
