Multisensory Museum: Tom Thomson's A Northern Lake
How can artists and designers create more multisensory experiences? OCADU Graduate Students in response to an Inclusive Design Multisensory Museum Course share their co-creative process of translating artworks in the AGO collection into multisensory objects. Students explore a wide variety of techniques to create an inclusive gallery experience in a series of Multisensory Museum Moments.
In this program, Chloe Typert-Morrison shares an immersive, accessible and digital interpretation of Tom Thomson’s A Northern Lake (1916). Transporting the viewers inside of the painting and into the tranquil scenery of Algonquin Park, she highlights each sense through a tactile room, an aromatic and flavourful tea, and an app that provides ambient auditory sounds and further details about the painting.
Chloe Typert-Morrison (she/her) is an User Experience designer from Toronto. As a self-proclaimed people enthusiast, she is passionate about helping others through design and is currently pursuing her masters in Inclusive Design at OCAD University.
