DESCRIPTION:The visit to art exhibitions is characterised by a
  peculiar\, easily recognisable organisation: visi
 tors stand and silently look at works of art\, the
 n slowly turn and move\, mostly without saying a w
 ord\, from one exhibit to the next. This organisat
 ion of the withdrawal from an exhibit allows visit
 ors to walk through galleries without disturbing c
 ompanions or other people's appreciation of works 
 of art. Visitors as well as academic researchers l
 argely take this organisation for granted\, and at
 tribute its origin to social conventions as well a
 s to the architecture and layout of exhibitions. T
 his presentation offers a different perspective on
  the organisation of the navigation of museum exhi
 bitions. By drawing on an inspection of video-reco
 rdings of people's navigation of art museums the a
 nalysis examines how people organise the withdrawa
 l from an exhibit and the orientation to a next wi
 thout interfering or disturbing each other's appre
 ciation of exhibits. The presentation ends with a 
 brief discussion of how such detailed studies of a
 ction and interaction may be used to inform the de
 sign and deployment of technologies in museums and
  other public settings.
