Ariadna’s GPS

This online workshop introduces participants to the creative use of the Strava app as part of an educational game designed for both children and adults, set within an urban environment.

 

The conceptual foundation of the workshop is drawn from the exhibition Metamorphoses, held at the Olomouc Archdiocesan Museum (January 30 – April 6, 2025), which featured artworks from antiquity to the present day inspired by the myths of Book VIII of Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
 

The story of Ariadne and her thread – used by Theseus to navigate his way out of the Labyrinth – served as the inspiration for a creative, movement-based activity.

 

The video-based workshop begins with a brief introduction to the exhibition, after which participants are invited to explore their own cityscapes. Using the Strava app’s tracking and graphic functions, participants record their movements, creating digital paths through both familiar and unfamiliar urban spaces.
