MuseIT is short for Multisensory, User-centred, Shared cultural Experiences through Interactive Technologies.
It is an EU-funded project, where the University of Borås is the project coordinator and Swedish Share Music & Performing Arts is involved. Gageego! also participates, during key presentations that meet the audience on two occasions:
June 17, 2025: Pilot 2
In June, Pilot 2 will be presented, focusing on co-creating music at a distance: “Beyond Latency: Co-Creating Music Across Distance” with Sophia Alexandersson and Nigel Osborne from ShareMusic & Performing Arts together with Gageego!
The event is being held digitally with participants from both Sweden and other parts of the world, but can also be followed on site in the Balder building, University of Borås (only for pre-registered participants).
– We develop technology and methodology to broaden access to and participation in cultural assets for everyone, regardless of functional variation, says Nasrine Olson, project manager for MuseIT, and associate professor and assistant professor at the Faculty of Librarianship, Information, Education and IT.
– When we produce multidimensional information, this is not only interesting for people with functional variation, but for everyone. For example, in a painting depicting rain, music, haptic sensation or other sensory impressions can enhance the experience of the rain.
September 2 – 3, 2025: The Final Event
The first week of September it is time for the final symposium of the project. The event is shared between Borås and the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg.
