OBSERVATIONS
During the exhibition’s three-month run, our research team
was able to observe our artefacts being used in-situ, taking
detailed notes of the encounters that took place, and
discussing the experiences with the public. In addition, we
had ample opportunity to share experiences and work
alongside the museum staff, most notably with Helen. Her
long-term, situated exposure to the daily goings-on of
Magic Worlds proved an invaluable resource when trying to
make sense of how our interactive content was experienced
by the public. ‘Living with’ the exhibition for an extended
duration and incorporating the artefacts into her creative
practice availed her a unique vantage point from which to
understand the experience
