This report is based on the site-specific art that developed during the latter part of the 20th century, by practitioners who wanted a more engaging dialogue between works and viewers. The strategies led many artists to move from galleries and art galleries to landscape and urban environments. A concept for the works that the movement from the galleries led to is Land Art. The Creative Europe-funded project Off Season Art Gardening (OSAG) is based on this movement. The project carries out activities in the form of workshops and lectures and creates artistic installations in the public space, adjacent to three rural towns, in the Netherlands, Sweden and Lithuania. My contribution to the project has partly been to place OSAG in an art and visual science context, and partly to relate the work carried out within the project Kulturarv och Spelteknologi i Skaraborg (KASTiS)-Cultural Heritage and Game Technology in Skaraborg, to the same context. Within KASTiS is the demonstrator Kiras and Luppe's Bestiarium –KLUB. KLUB is a transmedial children's book project that is used to build a contextualising narrative platform for otherwise disparate cultural heritage sites and objects within a large sub-region via fictional characters. The intangible cultural heritage from the area is also part of the project. The report concludes with a recommendation to actors in digital site-specific storytelling, which is partly based on the artist Robert Smithson's thoughts on a dialectic between his works of art displayed inside galleries (Nonsites) and the works created in the landscape (Sites).
