The extended museum: between viewing and participation. Interactive tour with the audience. Museum Villa dei Cedri, Bellinzona,Ticino, Switzerland

The Museum Villa dei Cedri extended its own spaces to the digital world through some simple tools: an interactive  tour to the exhibition “Burri Fontana Afro Capogrossi” with the guidance of Pier Giorgio De Pinto. On the occasion De Pinto used technologies such as QR codes and Augmented Reality. A QR code allows us to access, via a smartphone, digital content on the web, dedicated to the works of the four artists on display. Augmented Reality is an interactive graphics system that generates a stream of images, texts and videos in real time. Augmented reality starts from what already exists, but is modified with the addition of information and digital content.
