Abstract

Experiential design concept in the built environment puts forward a strong prominence on emotional connection and engagement between users of space and the surrounding environment. In designing multimedia galleries for media arts and interactive content, this concept is applied to understand and improve visitors’ perception and experience in navigating multimedia galleries. The engagement component creates a memorable and meaningful experience. If visitors are unable to connect with the space and its content, it is deemed that the space is not experiential. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate how experiential design elements influence visitors’ emotions and engagement in multimedia galleries. This addresses the issue of visitors’ unsatisfying visits to multimedia galleries. A survey was conducted at a local gallery where eighty visitors took part in answering the questionnaire during the three-day exhibition. This research focuses on the Visitors’ Experience and the Open Ended section of the survey. Findings contribute to the framework design and design suggestions. The framework suggests an insight that acknowledges the inclusion of visitors’ behaviour, engagement and emotions as components of experiential design. The limitation of this study lies in the choice and condition of the gallery space, content, tools and devices. The Experiential Multimedia Gallery Framework benefits curators, designers, artists and others in creating multi-layered spaces that feel connected to visitors. Due to the limitation, future works shall concentrate on investigating more diverse gallery spaces and exploration of interactive gallery content.
