Selected work at ART+COM ChemiSee
ChemiSee
A different view of heritage.
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.
My contribution
I built photo-contribution screens that keep a task, description and optional name with an image, and worked on gallery loading and detail navigation. I also coordinated language changes with route-loaded content: the next screen waits for the selected translation instead of advancing with the previous language’s story. These changes belong to the frontend work within the wider ChemiNova project.

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.
Running September 2025 development build · Bundled sample content
Open a photograph from the gallery, move to the next image, then return to the overview. September 2025 development build with its original bundled sample photographs.

Keep the story
with the photograph.
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.
