This module introduces the history and theory of the development of exhibitions from the tangible agora to modern virtual exhibitions as examples of crossmedia knowledge transfer. From experiential environments to digital mediation and intervention, different types of scientific, artistic and commercial exhibitions and their mediation are analyzed. Analyzing visitor studies for museums and user experience for digital environments give insights into the parameters and possibilities of storytelling aimed at expanding knowledge.

~ Introduction to exhibition conception and development
~ Crossmedia storytelling for the Culture and Creative Sector    
~ Overview from tangible to virtual dramaturgy for knowledge transfer
~ Visitor research and UX design for museology and cultural management
~ Introduction to time and project management for cultural projects

Exhibitions exist in an environment transformed by the digital age. Exhibition development today must answer the contemporary audience’s expectations to combine haptic and digital engagement, as well as opportunity for interactive and participative knowledge construction. This module focuses on the conceptual development of multi-media interpretive techniques as well as deeper examination of crossmedia exhibition project organization most commonly used in creative and cultural projects.

~ Types of interpretation and exhibiting - scientific / artistic / commercial exhibitions .
~ Types of mediation and their multiple media forms specifics for virtual, permanent or traveling exhibitions
~ Examining participative methods and rationale for audience engagement and co-creation
~ Image & text design for various media applications
~ Case studies of outstanding projects by international lecturers

The praxis oriented university course imparts expertise for integrating a variety of diverse media into knowledge transfer spaces.Individuals coming from the cultural and media sector who want to explore future-oriented approaches and develop crossmedia exhibition strategies step into real praxis during this module. The focused on practical aspects and best practice examples through both mandatory and optional elements supports individually initiated projects that complete the course.

~ Design and implementation of a practical project,
~ Problem analysis and solution models,
~ Expert discussions and feedback,
