The document proposes a connected platform called "Lifelines" to provide contextualization of artwork by the artist Joan Miró at the Berrocal Museum. It involves a wearable device called a "TimeTuner" that uses RFID and sensors to give visitors audio and visual summaries and timelines when near different artworks and exhibits. It also includes a touchscreen map to bookmark highlights and see recaps, and an installation that expands different categories and periods on the artist's timeline through pulled strings, giving more audiovisual content. The goal is to situate the art in the artist's life and times in an engaging, nonlinear way and foster social interaction among visitors.

2. LIFELINES: Berrocal+time+space+people
PROBLEM SETTING - WHY?
· Need for contextualization of works of art in museum experiences.
· People like/dislike artwork but lack background info to understand it.
· Timelines: practical, but boring & static. One time, stand-alone pieces.
· Audioguides: long & boring, uncomfortable, isolate people, disable hands.

3. LIFELINES: Berrocal+time+space+people
OBJECTIVE - WHAT?
· Contextualize Berrocal’s artwork.
· Focalize on the artist’s social dimension.
· Provide a thematic rationale for organizing the visit.
· Show the relations between Berrocal, people, places & things
through tangible & visual interfaces.
