HYPERMEDIA AND TRANSMEDIA MUSEOGRAPHY
|
Description |
The Museum Group I+D+C (Research + Development + Creation) of the Complutense University of Madrid has extensive experience in museum research and the creation of new museums and cultural projects. We conceived the museum as an interactive and transmedia communicational story. We include the Information and communication technologies perfectly amalgamated with the traditional exhibition elements to create museological and museographic projects more attractive and participative endorsed by a high scientific rigor.

How does it work |
It starts from a conception of the new museum as a communicational and interactive and transmedia story that encourages a participatory immersion of the visitors. The museum thus becomes a true hypermedia and transmedia paradigm in which the traditional expressive elements are amalgamated with the rich possibilities that facilitate information and communication technologies in the service of the pieces and/or the intangible processes presented the museum. By not being subject to the restrictions of mass dissemination interactive multimedia and multimedia systems are developed with much more freedom, creating innovative products applied to the service of museographic reporting. It escapes the common dynamics of creating multimedia support systems in parallel that, in many cases, are appendages detached from the overall project.
Our working methodology consists of studying each case and creating the complete museological and museographic project, having, logically, with designers and consultants of specific contents thinking about the type of museum, in the space in which it is framed (historical building, new building Construction, adaptation of other spaces ...), in the objectives that are pursued ... From the Museum Project, we provide the client with the corresponding specifications for the museography production competitions and we are responsible for supervising and directing the entire project, directly advising the Property and, occasionally, we respond creatively to the published specifications.

Customers benefit from our basic research (funded by the European Union Programs, the Community of Madrid, the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, the Complutense University ...) that allow us to be at the forefront of treatment of the contents and the application of the necessary technologies to optimize the communication of the same ones.
In our projects we have used stereoscopic high definition, image storage in solid state hard drives to optimize quality, multipanoramic projection systems based on new screen fusion tools, constructive interactive systems that go beyond the typical selection attached to the Traditional indexes, plasma touch screens converted into dynamic panels, holographic systems in which glass is replaced by new, unbreakable lightweight materials, with no limitations of size, virtual developments of the Museum in virtual reality and augmented reality environments, new materials for Construction of showcases, special optical fiber illuminations and leds...

Economically, the amount of the Direction, creation and advising of the projects is absolutely competitive, as well as the investment in the production emanated from the competitions, since the resources are optimized as they are perfectly measured. When carrying out projects applied to each case it is difficult to give guiding figures, so it is preferable to carry out concrete budget simulations according to the type of Museum Project or exhibition. We are also open to teaming with designers, museologists.
