Sonic Days 2024

This presentation examines how artefacts in museum exhibitions can become more dynamic by utilizing innovative display technologies and augmented mediation, moving beyond traditional glass displays. We propose methods for organizing and staging artefacts with temporal considerations, suggesting that their atmospheric influence spreads through the exhibition space like slow ripples in water, in contrast to Böhme's concept of instantaneous radiation. By theorizing and incorporating temporal structuring into artefact staging, we offer practical strategies for curators and designers to blend the sensory, emotional, and factual aspects of artefacts into the exhibition atmosphere. This approach involves a timeline-based layout of media content, emphasizing how the key atmospheric phenomenon of attunement unfolds over time, enhancing the artefacts' atmospheric, factual, and relational impact within museum spaces.
