After visiting the 'Decode: Digital Design Sensations' exhibition at the V&A museum I discovered an amazing multimedia designer, Ross Phillips. He creates really interesting interactive installations that rely on visitor participation. The one I saw at the V&A was the Videogrid, which consists of 25 squares each on a one-second video loop. Visitors can create moving portraits or miniature narratives, activating the recording using the touch screen. The grid starts empty and the beginning of the installation and becomes a constantly changing collaborative artwork.
Another interesting example is the Head to Toe installation. Four pods around London take short videos of the heads, bodies or legs of the people standing in front. Participants can use the arrows to flick through different combinations. The pods are situated at the Design Museum, Selfridges, Covent Garden or Ideas Store.
This kind of digital interaction looks set to be the future of exhibition design, as the trend for consumer-generated content continues to grow.
