How does offering visitors a way to align their impressions of the ROOM with specific places help them articulate their engagement with the work?<br \/>2. How can a mobilities approach which asks visitors to make connections between art and place constitute meaningful evaluation practice?<\/p>\n<p>Project methods included interviews, workshops with young visitors, iterative design of the artcasting application, in-gallery observations, and analysis of usage data and user-generated content shared by artcasting users.<\/p>\n<p>The Artcasting platform was available for visitors to try as part of two ARTIST ROOMS exhibitions in late 2015 and early 2016: the Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition at The Bowes Museum in Co. Durham, and the Roy Lichtenstein exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chrisspeed.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/EAF_Artcasting_900x470.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/chrisspeed.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/EAF_Artcasting_900x470.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chrisspeed.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/EAF_Artcasting_900x470.jpg 900w, https:\/\/chrisspeed.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/EAF_Artcasting_900x470-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chrisspeed.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/EAF_Artcasting_900x470-768x401.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AHRC ARTIST ROOMS on Tour: Encounters in and beyond the room Led by Jen Ross, with Jeremy Knox, Claire Sowton, Chris Barker and Chris Speed (Edinburgh) https:\/\/www.de.ed.ac.uk\/project\/artcasting\u00a0 The Artcasting project developed, tested and assessed \u2018artcasting\u2018, a new digital and mobile form of evaluation of arts-based engagement, in the context of ARTIST ROOMS On Tour.
