Digital Archives, Jan Schäfer Wintersemester 2011/2012
The Project deals with the remediation of archives, collections and exhibitions. It is a collaboration with the civic Archive „Les Archives“ in Bruxelles. The theme of the work is the Grand Place and its eventful history, “Trois Hommes- Une Grand Place”. The goal was to enable users to continue their visit to the exhibition on-site,on the Grand Place, by developing an android application. Taking advantage of the sensoric features of mobile-devices, such as camera, web-access and orientation-sensors, the proto-type of the application augments a visit to Grand Place with digital exhibits and enables the user to receive additional informations on other exhibitions, events or public transportation. The Grand Place itself becomes a part of the Interface.
