• Claus Sandgaard

  Claus Sandgaard

  Exhibition Architect and Project Manager

  I am a trained architect and have worked with retail and brand design in London for several years.
  Since 2013 I have worked at Moesgaard Museum as an exhibition architect and project manager. Here I have designed numerous internal and external exhibition projects.
  I wish to elaborate on the exhibition production at Moesgaard Museum from idea to reality. The museum exhibition development is a constant interaction between many disciplines, all focusing on story telling in a physical space. An exhibition project usually consists of three elements. The first element is the historic content consisting of artefacts, knowledge and written stories. The second element is a designed and staged exhibition space in which the guest can move around. The third element is a range of media in the form of sound, image, animation, and interaction. All the individual elements must have space but also coexist and interact.

• Peter Vistisen

  Peter Vistisen

  Associate Professor, PhD, in Digital Media & Design, Aalborg University

  “Science Visualization is an important part of the dissemination of knowledge across different audiences. However, the skill is rarely taught formally when scientists are educated through neither PhD programs or assistant professorshop courses. In the SciVi community we have experimented with developing new types of courses, which teaches scientist to think like producers, and prepare them to engage in collaborations with visual artist. In this talk we will discuss the models tested so far, and how we in the not so distant future might imagine science visualization as an integrated part of the research process itself.”

• Sophie Hjerl

  Sophie Hjerl

  Sophie Hjerl (b.1971). Visual Artist and MA in Theory and Communication, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.

  Sophie Hjerl works primarily with Virtual Reality often in an installational context. In her VR pieces she examines how the viewer can be placed ‘inside’ the art piece itself.

  She works with what she calls: ‘The body as consciousness in space’. She defines this as one of VR’s strongest virtual and spatial possibilities.
