Goldbach Mobile creates Hannes Schmid Apps

Hannes Schmid's first major survey exhibition, currently on view at the Bern Art Museum, is an impressive testimony to his creative output: "Real Stories" shows over 150 works created since the 1970s. A curated part of the exhibition is currently also on view at Zurich Airport.

With the smartphone app "Hannes Schmid Exhibition 2013" developed by Goldbach Mobile, interested parties can scan the QR codes placed at the exhibition venues - and thus access additional information about the works on display online. The current app is designed for the exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Bern and Zurich Airport; adaptations for other locations such as Beijing are planned, according to a statement.

The app "Hannes Schmid - Real Stories HD" for iPhone and iPad is more than just a digital exhibition companion. With lots of background knowledge, additional images and videos, it is a virtual exhibition per se, a museum in 3D - especially one that can be visited outside opening hours. The combination of classical art and digital application, which seems contradictory at first glance, turns out to be highly exciting, Goldbach writes. It is thanks to the artist's openness and commitment that visitors can experience his "Real Stories" everywhere via smartphone and tablet.

The iPhone and iPad app "Hannes Schmid - Real Stories HD" and the smartphone app "Hannes Schmid Exhibition 2013" (iPhone and Android) are available free of charge. All content has been translated into eight languages and is available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Russian.
