Busan Biennale 2014? It's Not Hard If You Just Have a Smart Phone! NFC and Mobile Website

  If you visit Busan Biennale 2014, you can often see viewers touching the wall with their smart phones. These are viewers using the NFC system and the mobile website recently attempted by Busan Biennale Organizing Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Organizing Committee).

  The Organizing Committee has introduced NFC system for the first time in exhibition centers to provide artwork explanations in a little more instant and convenient way for viewers who are unable to participate in the docent program. NFC system easily used by anyone who has an Android smart phone is interlocked with the mobile website of Busan Biennale 2014 webpage just by turning on the NFC mode on the smart phone and placing the smart phone above a sticker attached to the walls of exhibition center so you can instantly see explanations on the main artworks by each artist releasing their works. This system is getting more favorable response from viewers due to the advantage of being able to see the explanation of artwork than the QR code system that had been implemented by Busan Biennale last year.

  Also, the mobile webpage of Busan Biennale 2014 interworked in the NFC system is open for the viewers whose smart phone has become their daily routine. You can hear vocal explanations on the top of artwork explanations and a feature to write a comment is provided for each artwork to enable two-way communication. Also on the mobile webpage, various information including announcements along with the information on the daily events have been posed to offer convenience for the viewers.

Let's Use the Convenient Shuttle Bus to See All 3 Exhibition Venues

  The Organizing Committee operates a shuttle bus on weekends and holidays for viewers who wish to visit all 3 of the scattered exhibition venues including Busan Museum of Art, Busan Cultural Center and KISWIRE Sooyoung Factory. Busan Biennale 2014 shuttle bus system operated by three 25-passenger buses departs from Busan Museum of Art every hour and every 30 minutes from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. except for 1 P.M. and 1:30 P.M. while also operating on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

  The Organizing Committee has tried to offer more convenient transportation for viewers by also installing bus stops at the main spots nearby on the shuttle bus route in addition to each exhibition venue. The shuttle bus operates every 30 minutes 15 times a day on the loop course of Busan Museum of Art→Shinsegae Centum City→KISWIRE Sooyoung Factory→KISWIRE Museum→Suyeong Metro Station→Kyungsung Univ./Pukyong Nat'l Univ. Metro Station→Busan Cultural Center. Especially in case of KISWIRE Sooyoung Factory, the satisfaction of shuttle bus users tends to be high as it is located at a place that has inconvenient public transportation. Busan Biennale 2014 shuttle bus that can be used free of charge is getting favorable response to the extent of having 15 users on the average each time so far.
