“…As stated on the HAM website, "The Lightbox Gallery is a venue for digital experimentation-a space for projects that respond to museums' collections through new media and emerging technologies. " This definition perfectly fits the domain of experimental museology in which immersive visualization and cultural data are crucial today (Kenderdine et al, 2021).…”

Surprise Machines is a project of experimental museology that sets out to visualize the entire image collection of the Harvard Art Museums, with a view to opening up unexpected vistas on more than 200,000 objects usually inaccessible to visitors. The project is part of the exhibition organized by metaLAB (at) Harvard entitled Curatorial A(i)gents and explores the limits of artificial intelligence to display a large set of images and create surprise among visitors. To achieve this feeling of surprise, a choreographic interface was designed to connect the audience’s movement with several unique views of the collection.

“…For example, disciplines such as digital humanities now embrace more diverse types of corpora (Champion, 2016). Yet this shift of attention is also visible in museums, which recently took a step forward by establishing the field of experimental museology (Kenderdine et al, 2021).…”

“…In a laboratory study, users are left free to move in a room where sound is diffused with different pressure levels by motor-controlled moveable speakers in three different audio stimuli conditions (white noise, Jazz music, no sound). By using questionnaires and position tracking, user preferences and time spent in areas with different loudness levels have been analyzed, overall showing longer staying in more quiet areas when audio stimuli were evalu- [67] describe the potential application of computational practices within archival and museological domains that could improve the preservation and cataloging of sources, provide new forms of representation and knowledge, and can empower new forms of art. In this direction, Jazz Luminaries 6 , and interactive installation that display the connection between jazz, blues and Latin artists using a 3D visualization in a fulldome.…”

Nowadays, Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies play a supportive role in many research fields. In cultural heritage, various examples are available, including storytelling and narratives, where they can provide immersive and enhanced experiences to visitors and tourists, especially for entertainment and educational purposes. This review aims to investigate the opportunities that soundscape design and advanced sonic interactions in virtual and augmented environments can bring to cultural heritage sites and museums in terms of presence, emotional content, and cultural dissemination. Nineteen-two papers have been identified through the PRISMA methodology, and a promising positive effect of sonic interaction on user experience in a virtual environment can be observed in various studies, notwithstanding a general lack of specific contributions on the use of sound rendering and audio spatialisation for improving such experiences. Moreover, this work identifies the main involved research areas and discusses the state-of-the-art best practices and case studies where sonic interactions may assume a central role. The final part suggests possible future directions and applications for more engaging and immersive storytelling in the cultural heritage domain.

“…With more diverse data, curatorial practices with AV archives shift to immersive and interactive experiences to explore the plurality of memory materials and encourage personalised sense-making [23]. The Pods in the Eye Filmmuseum [20] aims to explore the remixing of historical archives and the SEMIA project [27] works on experimenting with alternative archive interfaces.…”

Situated in the intersection of audiovisual archives, computational methods, and immersive interactions, this work probes the increasingly important accessibility issues from a two-fold approach. Firstly, the work proposes an ontological data model to handle complex descriptors (metadata, feature vectors, etc.) with regard to user interactions. Secondly, this work examines text-to-video retrieval from an implementation perspective by proposing a classifier-enhanced workflow to deal with complex and hybrid queries and a training data augmentation workflow to improve performance. This work serves as the foundation for experimenting with novel public-facing access models to large audiovisual archives.
