Abstract
This paper presents system concepts for the design of a multimedia based cultural learning exhibit on a celebrated text, the Indian Gita-Govinda: The Gita-Govinda is a 12th century love poem that has been expressed in paintings music and dance. Because the literary text has several dimensions of meaning and expression, the key system design question has been to design an exhibit that supports the multiple readings — re-readings — of the poem. This concept of re-reading provided the basis for two exhibit solutions. The paper presents the system concepts for creating the Gita-Govinda cultural learning document that allow users access into multiple dimensions of the poem.
