Description
We’ll create unique content for multimedia artistic exhibits representing a new history telling via authentic personal testimonies. The exhibition focuses on the viewer and brings Czech and foreign visitors closer to the Czech, resp. European experience (incl. Norwegian) with totalitarian regimes. The interdisciplinary project combines new media, game design, history, educational practices, visual communication, museology and other art principles to create a 20th-century plastic image offering different perspectives on historical themes. The project supports cultural institutions'' capacity building and the creation of new modern history regional museums, lacking in the Czech Republic - the Memory of Nation Institutes (MNI). The MNI purpose is to popularise modern history via authentic personal testimonies based on the extensive Memory of Nation Archive. We’ll open the regional centres in Pardubice and Brno.
We intend to convey historical topics to the widest audience possible. Thus we’ll create content to mediate interesting information and personal testimonies in a suggestive and interactive form, connected with the present, too. We’ll use the latest technologies and storytelling principles with an emphasis on preserving the stories'' authenticity. Using augmented reality, the visitor experiences concrete destinies and becomes a part of them. We are implementing the project with a foreign partner, the renowned Falstad Centre, which focuses on documenting the 20th-century phenomena and presenting these topics via modern exhibition procedures. This cooperation will mutually increase our competencies in the field of creating exhibition content with modern technologies incl. i.a. augmented reality. The project will use the latest techniques and theories from the museology and education field and connect them with technologies in a project, where unique content will be created for interactive multimedia art exhibitions to become Czech modern history regional centres.
