Discover DaVinci: Blockchain, Art and New Ways of Digital Learning
Marko Suvajdžić, Dragana Stojanović · Advances in Science Technology and Engineering Systems Journal · 2021
Discover DaVinci is a novel augmented reality system that incorporates blockchain technology with experiential learning to engage participants in an interactive discovery of Leonardo da Vinci’s oeuvre. The software was created by Marko Suvajdzic, first author of this paper, and it was produced at the University of Florida Digital Worlds Institute. In the true spirit of this “Renaissance man”, Discover DaVinci explores new ideas and technologies “ahead of their time”, opening up questions about usage of blockchain system in the domain of art and technology. This paper discusses some of these questions, such as relation of art and technology, usefulness of blockchain system for digital art, and new materiality of art in digital and informational age. Proposed work of this manuscript is to present the field of digital learning through a general review and more specifically through a prism of Discover DaVinci project created by Digital worlds Insititute at the University of Florida.
