Brief project description: Everybody experiences emotions. This is the starting point for a journey of discovery through art, on which we would like to take as wide an audience as possible. A web app shows artworks and asks users which emotion(s) they trigger in them. The six universal basic emotions of fear, joy, anger, sadness, disgust and surprise are suggested. There is also the possibility of describing one's own feelings in a differentiated way in a free text field. After clicking on one emotion tag, you can see how other users feel about this artwork. An info button can be used to display the «reverse side» of the picture, which contains precise information about the artwork (artist, title, date, technique, dimensions, copyright, picture credits). Arrow navigation takes you to the next work of art, which can be responded to emotionally. Technical description: The project team worked with image and metadata from the photo archives of the Swiss Institute of Art Research SIK-ISEA. Link to the data sets: https://opendata.swiss/de/dataset/kunstwerke-aus-dem-bildarchiv-von-sik… https://opendata.swiss/de/dataset/werkverzeichnis-der-kunstlerin-eva-ae… A node.js server and a react-frontend are used. The webapp runs in the browser and is therefore accessible under a URL.As an admin, any selection of images can be loaded into the app and made available to a specific audience. Possible contexts of application: Art education, museum, school, art therapy https://heartful.freisicht.ch Project team: Anna Flurina Kälin, art educator und information scientist; Jan Lässig, digital art educator and multimedia producer; Thomas Stettler, information scientist; Angelica Tschachtli, art historian Link to project presentation: https://museion.schule/vermittlung/heARTful-presentation.pdf Project Page
