Can Infographics be a new way to display museum labels?


Through Piktochart, I created an infographic comparison between two Oscar Claude Monet's paintings that are in the Toledo Museum of Art's collection.

Piktochart is a web-based application that provides templates to design infographics and other visuals. Infographics, by its way to arrange and display data (text) and graphics could be used as a learning tool. It is easy to use, but one needs to take some time to familiarize oneself with the application's dashboard's tools. It provides different types of templates that can be applied according to the topic that one plans to develop. I started with a blank canvas and after organizing the text, I decided on the background's texture and color. Then, I decided on the text's font's type, size and color. Being the topic a comparison between two similar objects, I decided to organize the data in two rows. Each row was written in different colors and some data was bolded, as a way of highlighting the similarities and differences between the two paintings:

"Antibes Seen from La Salis" TMA# 1929.51

http://emuseum.toledomuseum.org/objects/54775/antibes-seen-from-la-salis?ctx=b5f1c88b-b762-40c0-bac0-338dedf5d84f&idx=0

"Water Lilies" TMA# 1981.54

http://emuseum.toledomuseum.org/objects/54776/water-lilies?ctx=b5f1c88b-b762-40c0-bac0-338dedf5d84f&idx=1

Infographics can help in the development of museum labels that can be more visually friendly than the long text ones that are provided by the Toledo Museum of Art.

Generative Artists

Generative Art: "is a process of algorithmically generating new ideas, forms, shapes, colors and patterns. First, you create rules that provide boundaries for the creation process. Then, a computer follows those rules to produce new works on your behalf." Algorithm Art or Code Art or Procedural Art: "It is a step-by-step method of solving a problem. And it is one of the fundamental building blocks of computer science." https://aiartists.org/generative-art-design   Michael Hansmeyer Manolo Gamboa Naon Anders Hoff Katharina Brunner       https://katharinabrunner.de            / https://x.com/MSchories/status/1084766780701184000?s=2 Jon McCormack Brian Eno Roelof Pieters and Samim Winiger, co-founders of  https://creative.ai/ Fernando Ramallo Meatt Pearson Mark J.
