Improved accessibility in the Chris Ware exhibition

The Bpi has deployed QR Codes allowing access to audio, video and text content for a better understanding of the exhibition.

On the occasion of the exhibition devoted to the American artist Chris Ware (until October 10, free admission), the Bpi has set up a QR Codes system allowing quick access to content presented in the space of exposure. The pictograms accompanying these QR Codes will let you know what content you can access:

Accessible content

Scan the QR code associated with this pictogram to hear the audio recording of the presentation text.
It also appears next to the QR code which opens an accessible PDF of the transcription of the video interview projected in the exhibition.

Scan the QR code associated with this pictogram to see the videos in french LSF which translate the presentation texts and the audio comments of five comic strips said by Benoît Peeters and Julien Miserey, co-curators of the exhibition.

How does it works ?

All you need is a smartphone with an application that reads QR codes (some smartphone cameras also allow this). After activating the application, pass the lens of the phone in front of the QR code: this displays the link on which you must click, which opens the file uploaded by the Bpi on YouTube. Remember to bring your headphones!
