“ICTs for museum presentational purposes/activities”
With regard to the use of ICT in arts and cultural heritage presentation, we start with the mediator and the mediation process. The mediation
process refers to organisational processes that have presentational activities or products as a result. The mediator refers to social or technical
systems that facilitate the communication to the recipient in terms of direct interaction.
Mediated arts and cultural heritage presentation refers to all facilities that do not involve a human presenter in the communication processes
between an object and a recipient. This includes exhibitions and presentations of arts or cultural artefacts, information texts in exhibition halls,
exhibition and collection catalogues, scientific publications, and visitor oriented journals published by museums, audio guides, multi-media terminals
and websites of or museums or archives.
