Exhibition design and Per-forming spaces. Phygital Environmental Systems to Inhabit Cultural Narrative

What is the meaning of the word performance? And what is the relevance of space in the performance scenario? Is it in Exhibition Design, the discipline concerned with the physical setting up of exhibition venues, that, in the last twenty years, the concept of per-formative space has been increasingly investigated both in terms of theoretical investigation and practical realisation? We can affirm that it represents an indicator of a shift in the contemporary method of offering culture. The role of numerous forms of digital mediation available today is oriented towards the realisation of phygital environmental systems to inhabit cultural narratives, where the visitor acquires even performative knowledge of expositive contents determined by sequences of gestures, actions, interactions, and attitudes. Conditions that lead to per-forming spaces enhance the relational connections that constitute the participatory perception of a cultural experience.
