About the project

A mobile web experience inviting people to look closely, follow a character’s story, and contribute photographs of the places around them. At ART+COM, I worked on the photo flows, interactive gallery, and multilingual interface.

The project

A place holds more
than one story.

ChemiSee is part of ChemiNova, a European research project concerned with protecting cultural heritage. It gives people a way to engage with a place through character-led stories, close observation, and their own photographs.

ART+COM developed the experience within the ChemiNova consortium. In November 2025, project partners and local participants tried ChemiSee at La Nau, the University of Valencia’s cultural centre.

01 / Look, frame, contribute

Your perspective
becomes part of it.

A character provides a starting point. Photo tasks invite people to notice the place and its surroundings, then contribute an image with context. I worked on the capture and contribution flow, including the screens for adding a description and optional name.

ChemiSee’s La Nau start screen with three illustrated characters and a Choose your Guide control.

02 / From image to context

I worked on the gallery’s overview and detail interactions, preserving titles and dates as an image moves between them. When the gallery moved from bundled samples to CMS content, I adjusted image preloading and duplicate handling to support that asynchronous flow.

Changing language, together

Interface labels and story content arrive through different parts of the application. I updated language switching to wait for the route’s translated content before advancing, so the next screen would not open with the previous language’s story.
