Co-designing with visitorsVisitors’ generated contentOn-line and on-site connections


why to talk about aesthetics in a conference about inclusion?

Because there is no aesthetic experience if the visitor cannot engage with the exhibited work.

Participative design pieces are tools for inclusion through active involvement of the visitors in generating content.
