Digital Exhibitions as Interface between Cultural Memory and User Interests: Empirical findings on design and interaction

Digital Exhibitions as Interface between Cultural Memory and User Interests: Empirical findings on design and interaction Abstract for the Conference „Accessibility and Citizenship”, 14.–18.07.2025, Lisbon. (DH 2025) Martin Siefkes (TU Chemnitz) & Julia Pfeiffer (TU Chemnitz) Project blog: https://blog.hrz.tu-chemnitz.de/digitale-ausstellungen/ How do digital exhibitions change our perception of and interaction with cultural heritage? The research project "Digital exhibitions: From typology to reception studies" at Chemnitz University of Technology is investigating this question using an innovative combination of corpus analysis, multimodal annotation methodology and experimental studies. The aim is to gain empirical insights into design and user experience and to develop practical recommendations for cultural institutions interested in digital exhibitions and their affordances.
