VisitorBox

VisitorBox aims to assist small to medium-sized cultural institutions in developing exhibitions with digital components. In this project, a set of design cards was created. These cards and the accompanying rules are designed to enable users to implement digitally supported exhibitions without requiring specific prior knowledge in curatorial practices or digital technologies. The VisitorBox online platform also provides access to a digital network of successful exhibition projects, which users can study and adapt for their own projects based on the relevant card selections.
