Virtual visit to the museum: a digital touristic proposal

Abstract

This article is the result of an empirical research developed in the Master’s Program in Cultural Studies of FUMEC University, which addresses the virtual visit to the Inhotim museum as a proposal of mediation between technology and tourism through the marital experience of a virtual visit versus face-to-face experience. The theoretical framework presented seeks the representation of cultural elements through the digital-imaging technology of the screens, projecting through the imbrications between culture and technology a reflection on the experience of visiting an environment through algorithmic constructions. Finally, the article discusses the cultural validity of this experience, with a special look at the cultural constructions of the technological contemporaneity that are materialized through digitalized and mathematically (pre)-conceived information.
