| DESIGN NAME: Media Majlis PRIMARY FUNCTION: Multimedia Interface INSPIRATION: The Media Majlis was intended to be an active museum space that brings people together to engage with exhibitions and programs that challenge standard narratives and inspire conversation about stories and ideas. Not only is this museum unique in the region, the subject matter and cultural response required careful sensitivity. By facilitating engaging content, it enables visitors to develop knowledge, understanding, and awareness, which resulted in a positive visitor experience. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In this multimedia exhibit for the Northwestern University Campus in Doha, Qatar, we utilized cascading digital screens and armature of giant display walls with interactive touchscreens to showcase the history and the significance of Arab films from the 1920's through to present day. The project aims to not only show the evolution of Arab films, but also to explore the Arab identity and how Arabs have been portrayed and stereotyped in movies made in all over the world. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Once a visitor steps to the Interactive Wall, they are able to explore different sections of the interactive divided into parts. Within each of three individual sections, visitors may choose their language, subsection, and individual videos to watch. Content is shown with minimal hierarchy; videos are shown in ways that reinforce that they are in conversation with one another.The subsections include Contextual talking heads, narrative interviews, and external media assets. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in June 2018 in New York City, USA and finished in December 2018 in New York City, USA. The project was then installed and exhibited in Doha, Qatar in April 2019 FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interface, Interaction and User Experience Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: We created an interactive wall application for an 8x3 array of screens with touch overlay, along with design approaches to passive content and attract screens. The wall will be divided into 2 non-interactive and 6 interactive columns. The interactive wall will be custom built software, most likely built in C++ utilizing OpenFramework libraries. The challenge is to create a system of programs so that that the 8 separate computers can work as one. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: We installed an interactive wall application for an 8x3 array of 1397mm screens with 1 touch overlay across all of them. We also installed 6 different interactive stations, each on a 1905mm touchscreen in portrait. TAGS: Interactive, Exhibition, Film, RESEARCH ABSTRACT: - CHALLENGE: Not only is this museum unique in the region, the subject matter and cultural response required careful sensitivity. With assistance and coordination from Northwestern University Qatar, we were able to find an approach that would be considerate of visitors, and the University who gave us access to the content.
