Une médiatrice du projet Ikonikat analyse une œuvre avec une visiteuse au musée du Louvre-Lens

A mediator from the Ikonikat (Ikonik Analysis Toolkit) project analyses an artwork with a visitor to the Le Nain Mystery exhibition at the Louvre-Lens Museum. This discussion is taking place after time spent analysing the artwork individually using the Ikonikat app. The app, a tool for the visual analysis of artworks, is aimed at the general public as well as experts. Both a research tool and a cultural mediation tool, it aids understanding of how visitors respond to artworks according to their sociological profile (age, level of education, etc.). Equipped with a tablet, visitors looking at a painting can show, without having to use words, what they think is relevant in the work. The interface lets them mark the significant areas of the image with their finger by adding lines to a digital copy of the picture. Ikonikat forms part of the VISUALL-tek project, a library of tools that enables the collective examination of images. These apps are the result of an interdisciplinary dialogue between social science researchers and computer scientists specialising in human-machine interaction.
