DOUBLE EXHI-POSURE

As technology keeps evolving, people are getting more used to holding smartphones all the time if possible. Visitors taking photos and selfies is much more common in museums or galleries.

What if we include visitors’ behavior as part of the exhibit? We interact with visitors’ behavior inside the galleries in two experimental ways. The two approaches convey an ironic and open-ended message to the visitors that allows them to reflect and rethink how we behave in such places.

“Where do people linger in an exhibition?”

“Which art piece is people’s favorite photo prop?”

We set up an exhibition replaying human behaviors in a gallery through AR technology.

With a mobile device, a visitor can view, hear, and experience the “sum“ of people’s trace and sound in the same exhibition room in the past 30 days.

“Oops, no photo please!”

We set up a real-time interaction using electrochromic glass which changes its transparency state based on pose detection. When detecting a visitor taking photos of the art piece, the glass turns opaque as a way to mediate between visitors and exhibits.
