Making museum objects smart - Adding a narrative layer to an exhibition
The meSch project is about smart objects. We will look at some of the concepts that we developed and tested during the last two years and focus on one of these concepts. In a temporary exhibition that was on show from April to October we applied smart replicas to trigger narratives from different perspectives.
