Course of action
The primary goal is thus to develop an interactive information service. When using the application, the public should also have a collaborative monitoring function with regard to the state of conservation of the works of art. In an initial project phase, the users will have the possibility of establishing direct contact with the researchers in order to optimise the application to meet their needs. In a second phase, a response tool is planned for the application that will enable the user to provide feedback to the owners about the state of the artworks (e.g. to report any vandalism, deterioration etc.). The project is a collaboration with the Canton of Fribourg and the cities of Bern and Basel.
