Abstract
The book is an object that adopts many forms to serve necessities. Assuming this desire of fullness inspired by books, we want to question about the possibilities of the same as an object of mediation between the public and the museum. The museum appears as a prolongation of artistic education, and it is a space where several publics go, for all sorts of reasons. Although, it is also necessary for the museum to find different publics, making the visit interactive and appreciated; instead of a simple observation. Focusing on these museum’s desire-duty ‘tasks’, we believe that the design could help the approach between the museum and the public to create a relationship space with expanded knowledge, instead of a punctual and uni-directional occurrence. Therefore, we inquire about how a can designer help in the construction of an object of mediation in a museum. We believe that the public thinks that going to the museum once is already enough to become familiar with the pieces of the museum. Consequently, we pretend to create an object capable of demystifying that, in a way to amplify the public’s knowledge and to diffuse artistic education, which is the museum. The mediation spaces become the focus of our problem as an extension of the knowledge - to approach the individual with the artistic education. The objective is to find new perspectives of mediation, and communication hypotheses between the museum and the public, and contribute through design and through the book for an exercise of artistic education.
