Laman arca connecting the public sculpture experience through a cloud based system

Nur Muhammad Amin Hashim Amir

Abstract

Experiencing public sculpture can be highly individualistic for each participating audience. The experience only lasts for as long as they are on the site. Without any extensive interactive element besides taking photographs and observing, it is safe to say that lacking thereof is shown in a static environment. This research aims to create a platform that connects visitors’ experiences into one collective hive by expanding it through the artworks’ captions. Laman Arca; is a series of public sculptures on specific sites that allow visitors to use the implemented cloud-based system to harness their creative needs. This implementation improves visitors’ ways of interacting with the sculptures by adding a platform to discourse them, exponentially improving their appreciative experiences. The system has several sections; artwork description, artist’s biography, essential information, and live-site projects. The platform is retroactive, which means new visitors can assess previous audiences' experiences and provide new ones. This study will examine the shared experiences’ responses and how they use the system to validate its effectiveness.
