Dear Friends,
For the purpose of my PhD on “Exploring interactive play environments for cross-generational child learning through meaningful interaction”, I’m looking for examples, artists, exhibitions and texts that deal with personal connection between visitor and artefact. I’m looking for solutions that awake a child in every adult and grasp on their childhood memories, reminiscences of the past and inner fantasy and imaginary world. You could call it magic….or everyday magic….I’m wondering how you can design for this magic? or its enabled through design…
I would appreciate any tips, literature recommendation or ideas.
Best wishes,
Kasia

Another paired treasured objects from their homelands with stories written by students studying English as a second language. Michael Pearce shared a case study here: http://www.exhibitfiles.org/memory
