Canvas Conversation Tales

Canvas Conversation Tales is a web application to create stories in the form of imaginary conversations, based on the visual content of a selected artwork. This creation process turns out to be an example of crowdsourcing, more specifically of collaborative story writing, a term we use to identify an activity carried out online, by a group of people not supposed to know each other, producing a narrative as output. Canvas Conversation Tales is intended as an edutainment tool that can be adopted in a museum or exhibition area to engage both onsite and online visitors with a creative, collective activity.
