I had a tough time finding examples of temporary exhibits, but eventually I came across &#8220;8 ties&#8221; for Herm\u00e8s. It was created for an event in Milan and has now traveled to a few other locations. I haven&#8217;t seen this installation in person, but I found some videos online.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yOfOEacHBe0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The theme of the collection is very digital, referencing many aspects of computer culture and data. The ties&#8217; patterns use iconography like the power button and the recycle symbol, as well as binary among others. The site is much nicer than that video above:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hermes.com\/8ties\">www.hermes.com\/8ties<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The visuals, drawn from the patterns of the tie collection, are stunning. They are the highlight of the main attraction &#8211; the large video wall which I can only assume was a projection. What&#8217;s unclear is whether or not the visuals respond to the user. When you watch the video, you can&#8217;t really tell if the graphics are moving on their own or as a reaction to the user waving around kinect-style. The audience, who appear to be professionals in the fashion industry, don&#8217;t appear to understand either.<\/p>\n<p>I definitely recommend the website. It&#8217;s visually very attractive and has some awesome glitchy audio and video. But from the videos online, it looks like the translation to a large screen exhibit may have fallen a bit flat. I think user interaction could have been made much stronger, for example, showing some sparks or something where the user&#8217;s hand is detected, or a more clear correlation between movement of the user and movement of the graphics. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Spatial Media we were asked to find a temporary interactive exhibit that was created for an event and critique it.
