2024
Museums are undergoing a fundamental shift in response to societal challenges such as inequality, changing social norms, and digital transformation. Their role now extends beyond collecting and preserving artefacts to include cultural exchange, education, and community engagement. Modern museums aim to become accessible cultural hubs rather than exclusive institutions.
A key idea for the future is decentralisation—museums existing not just in a central building, but as smaller "satellites" throughout the city. This shift also changes how art is exhibited and experienced, with digital technologies playing a vital role.
This project explores a speculative concept for a decentralised museum structure that integrates into public space and supports a digital art experience via smartphones or tablets. Using the software Fologram, a mixed reality exhibition was created that allows user interaction and immersion.
The research suggests that decentralised, digital experiences can make art more democratic and accessible, reaching broader audiences and underrepresented communities. While financial and operational aspects are not addressed, the project provides a starting point for rethinking how museums can evolve to foster participation, inclusivity, and public engagement.
The Master's thesis was supervised by Pentti Kareoja, Tuomas Siitonen and Tina Cerpnjak
