Abstract:


This paper focuses on a theoretical reflection of an educational program, focusing on guiding the participants to the sculptures from the 70s and 80s located in the park of Severní Terasa district in Ústí nad Labem. The program took the form of an art mediation workshop, which however, did not take place in an exhibition institution but in a city park. The park has become an improvised exhibition space, where several sculptures are placed. These sculptures were originally created for various public places and relocated in the park after 2006. Mobile applications and generative AI tools were utilized as a mediating tool and a creative medium. By reflecting on this program and situating it within a broader theoretical framework, we examine the potential of digital media in the field of art mediation and education. We observe and theoretically analyse the situation in which contemporary technology encounters the historical artworks symbolically. We ask ourselves how the perception of the artwork changes with the change of context and how to lead the participants to its active critical interpretation through the available technologies.
