project description
The digital dossier(s) resulted from the
Multimedia Casus,
in cooperation with the Instituut Collectie Nederland and the Institute for Time-based Arts.
Digital dossier(s) are explored as a means to capture the information
connected to (a collection of) artworks in an immersive way,
as an alternative to topical (flat) websites or information systems,
by means of a suitable metaphor, such as a virtual musuem, an
artist atelier, or a concept map in 3D space.
In the project, we explored the use of agent technology
as well as technology that is usually applied for the
development of games or 3D infotainment.
