Virtual Museum and Small Museums : ViMuseo.fi Project

New media are a huge opportunity and challenge for museums, especially for small institutions without digitized resources. The ViMuseo.fi is a research project conducted at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

Le lave. Gli usi ornamentali nell'architettura storica in Sicilia
2012
L’attività vulcanica in Sicilia e nelle isole limitrofe ha nel corso dei millenni contribuito a modellare l’aspetto fisico di un vasto comprensorio, generando sconfinati giacimenti naturali di materiale lapideo impiegato fin dall’età antica nell’attività edificatoria. Relativamente all’utilizzo in architettura, va sottolineata l’ambivalenza di questo materiale chiamato nei secoli a svolgere tanto la funzione di pietra da costruzione, quanto quella di pietra ornamentale. Catania e l’intera area etnea, ma anche l’isola di Lipari, conservano le testimonianze più consistenti e significative di un ricorso ab antiquo alla pietra lavica e ai suoi derivati in architettura.

Ideology in Vicarious Learning-Related Communication
2021
Organizations often learn vicariously by observing what other organizations do. Our study examines vicarious learning–related communication through which individuals share their observations with other organizational members. Most students and members of present-day organizations would expect that this communication is driven by a prodevelopment logic—that communication serves the purpose of organizational improvement and competitiveness. Our unique historical evidence on learning-related communication over multiple decades shows that the subjective and collective attitude toward prodevelopment communication may be ideologically conditioned. Prodevelopment communication is the norm in capit…
Weiss in der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts
2008
This study is dedicated to one color exclusively: the color white. Thus, it provides an important contribution to the history of colors as well as to the meaning and the monochromatic use of white as a means of design in 20th century visual arts. Research is based on the assumption that in order to examine one single color it is not enough to exclusively apply methods thaf are restricted to problems that are intrinsic to the fine arts only. This study is therefore divided into two main sections, which in their methodological approach differ from each other as a matter of principle: the analysis on the phenomenon and the meaning of white as regards its content based relevance is followed by …
