Bernadette Schrandt serves as an External PhD Candidate at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam's Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities (Art and Culture, History, Antiquity) and works as a lecturer-researcher at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences' Creative Media for Social Change research group.
Her academic credentials include:
- Master in Media and Performance Studies, Utrecht University (2008-2010), thesis: The map, the mobile and the physical: Layar as a case study
- Bachelor in Theatre, Film and Television Studies, Utrecht University (2005-2008)
Her research explores polyvocality in mixed reality heritage environments, focusing on designer-institution collaborations to create spatial experiences. Key methodologies include embodied perception analysis, scenography frameworks, and atmosphere mapping within museum contexts. She bridges digital design with cultural anthropology to examine how mixed reality transforms visitor engagement in heritage spaces.
Her 2018-2020 publications reveal a concentrated trajectory in cultural technology integration, with dominant themes spanning museum innovation, spatial experience design, and digital heritage interpretation. Works consistently address practical tool development for experience creation while analyzing emotional and perceptual impacts of virtual interventions in physical cultural settings.
Bernadette actively contributes to the Creative Media for Social Change research group and the Digital Museum Lab initiative, developing frameworks for translating academic design research into applied cultural sector solutions through collaborative prototyping and user-centered evaluation methodologies.
