Abstract:

The paper, starting from the concept of aesthetic experience in the museum context, explores the potential of the corporeal dimension during the interaction between visitors and artworks, both in the emotional sphere and in the intellectual one. The Museum becomes “sensitive” when the body plays the role of a technical tool to receive and elaborate the educational message. From this perspective, the museum experience encourages participation and social inclusion using ICT and multisensory modes. Considering the relevance of physical, sensory, and communicative accessibility, the paper summarizes the Boccioni VISIBLE project, designed for visually impaired people to enjoy the sculpture Forme uniche della continuità nello spazio displayed at the Galleria Nazionale di Cosenza The research also aims to offer other digital solutions for a synesthetic and interactive approach to Umberto Boccioni's masterpiece, implementing new strategies for audience engagement and edutainment.
