Experiential audio in museum contexts

博物馆和遗产部门正在经历一个令人兴奋的转变，将声音和声音技术作为策展的对象和媒介。该项目将通过基于实践和学术研究的跨学科结合来应对这一转变，研究音频如何在博物馆环境中增强游客体验。围绕罗马的圣克莱门特修道院、威斯敏斯特宫的伊丽莎白塔和大本钟以及圣保罗大教堂的新沉思空间的设计，本研究旨在研究大量可用于传递声音的技术，从低保真模拟解决方案到最新的技术可能性，同时探索音频内容创作的广度。该项目建立在学生和监督团队之前和当前的研究基础上，包括一个关于博物馆和遗产部门音频设计未来的知识交流项目，该项目将于2023年3月结束。这一探索由一位在国际最高水平的博物馆和遗产项目中拥有丰富音频设计经验的从业者领导，他的工作被主流，专业和学术媒体公认为开创性的。这个项目的独创性在于它在主流背景下对实验实践进行了系统的评估，从而产生了一系列真实世界的作品，这些作品得到了相关技术和策展过程的批判性探索的支持。

The museum and heritage sector is undergoing an exciting shift in its embrace of sound and sound technologies as both the object and medium of curation. This project will respond to this shift through an interdisciplinary combination of practice-based and scholarly research investigating how audio can enhance visitor experience in a museum context. Centred around designs for the San Clemente monastery in Rome, the Elizabeth Tower and Big Ben in the Palace of Westminster and a new space of contemplation in St. Paul's Cathedral, this research intends to look at a wide number of technologies that can be used to deliver sound, from low-fi analogue solutions to the latest technical possibilities whilst exploring the breadth of audio content creation. The project builds on prior and current research conducted by the student and the supervisory team, including a knowledge-exchange project on the future of audio design in the museum and heritage sector which is due to conclude in March 2023. This exploration is led by a practitioner with considerable experience of working on audio design in museum and heritage projects at the highest levels internationally and whose work has been recognised as path- breaking in mainstream, specialist and academic media. The originality of this project is in its systematic evaluation of experimental practices in a mainstream context, resulting in a portfolio of real-world works supported by a critical exploration of associated technical and curatorial processes.
