AC/E digital culture ANNUAL REPORT 2014THALIA THEATREMC2 (Maison de la Culture de Grenoble)http://www.mc2grenoble.fr/Le-blog/p3.htmlBlog of the Maison de Culture de Grenoble, covering theatre, music and opera. The posts promote cultural content at this centre for the arts, one of the most important in France. This promotion makes use of audiovisual and photographic material, photos of productions, interviews with significant people who visit the centre and radio programmes about the productions. The blog can be followed via an RSS feed that can easily be found on the home page.WEBSITE DESIGNMany intangible elements can be communicated through design. At a glance, users can get an impression of the institution they are visiting: what sort of programme they put on, what their priorities are, etc. A similar thing is the case with multiplatform possibilities. As Isabel F. Peñuelas comments in her article, the optimisation of design for different devices, without the need to create many different versions of the website, improves user experience and makes it possible to create a primordial use for each device. Here are some examples.AC/EThal ia Theater (Hamburg)http://www.thalia-theater.de/h/aktuell_31_de.phpOne of the main theatres in Hamburg. It is mentioned here because of the originality of the design of its website, which gives visitors a clear idea of the sort of shows to be seen there.MC2 (Maison de la Culture de Grenoble)http://www.mc2grenoble.fr/Accueil-mobile/p20.htmlVersion of the theatre’s website for mobile devices. This approach is to be recommended if the home page is difficult to display on a mobile screen, and users are provided with a quick search of events at the centre.FOCUS 2014: THE USE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PERFORMING ARTS3.1 THE USE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO CREATE A COMMUNITY CURRENT PAGE...MAISON DE LA CULTURE DE GRENOBLE - MOBILE WEBSITE155
