In line with our ongoing exhibit, the Giant Dolls House, where multitudes of stories were viewed through shoe-box homes made by various communities in Goa, Museum of Goa (MOG) will be presenting another completely unique take on Goa and its heritage.
MOG is hosting an exhibition of digital heritage by presenting the artworks developed by Future Fiction from May 10-12. The exhibition titled Digital Heritage Play Lab encourages the people to explore Goan Heritage through emergent media experiences and platforms.
Through a gallery of Heritage Playthings - featuring augmented reality, virtual reality, 360 film, gamification, app design and trans-media storytelling - the exhibition aims to bridge the gap between Goan heritage and modern audiences.
A highlight of the exhibition is an interactive storytelling Smartphone App for discovering Panjim, arising from collaboration with prominent writer, Vivek Menezes, as the participants will discover the charming city through an entertaining narrative of nine of his favourite locations.
