This week the Noah's Ark exhibit opens at the Skirball Cultural Center in LA. And at the end of this exhibit, visitors work with staff to describe ways they can help create a better world. We used a variation of our StoryKiosk software to project the visitor's image and commitment on the wall, floating up into the sky, creating a gallery of visitor visions floating in the space. Visitors can choose to email their vision home to encourage post-visit activity related to this vision.
The exhibit as a whole is about meeting challenges (storms), finding community (arks), and creating a more hopeful world (rainbows). The Skirball Center has an extraordinary roster of programs lined up for visitors, and the hope is to use the email feature of the program to remind visitors throughout the year of programs that might help them achieve their visions. (In my mind, this comes close to what Elaine Gurian has called "the essential museum", in which the museum becomes an essential resource for visitors creating meaning in their daily lives).
Visitors' images and commitments are projected on the wall and then emailed home as a post-visit reminder. (click to enlarge).
