The prototype MyTISSE has been developed as Master thesis in "Interaction Media Design" at the University of Bologna (MA "Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge", Supervisor: Prof Pescarin), in the framework of the European project PERCEIVE.
Abstract
The following document contains the descriptive material for the testing protocol of the "caring prototype" MyTISSE, an interactive user experience on Matisse's painting Bathers by a River (Art Institute of Chicago). Focusing on the change of the pigments made by the artist during the gestation of this canvas, the UX exploits creative engagement to catalyze meaning creation processes.
