To celebrate the opening of the Nelson-Atkins' new Bloch Impressionist Galleries, Moonshot created three interactive installations–an educational in-gallery iPad system, a Kandinsky-inspired synesthetic music composition display, and a few next-level audio tours (GPS-enabled via Detour) that provide an engaging, seamless tour experience. These elements were the outcome of a robust human-centered design process that entailed our team sitting down with the Nelson's own research team, museum docents, security guards, curators, technology staff and board members. We spent weeks watching visitors wander, and hours more interviewing them about their time in the museum. We then delivered our findings in the form of a collaborative, interactive, day-long workshop with our clients.
The tablet system enables visitors to explore topics relevant to nearby art pieces, artists, and the Impressionist movement.
The color composer is based on the belief that artist Wassily Kandinsky had synesthesia. Users compose music using Kandinsky-inspired shapes and colors.
