Do you remember the last time you visited a museum? Would you like to go back there and see some exhibits again, revive your experience or just really want to know how the artist was called who made that awesome video installation? Unfortunately it is often not that easy to go back and just experience the same again. Either the exhibition was just temporarily or you were on vacation and don't have the chance to just go back.
I am an Industrial Design Engineering Student from The Hague, who now passed almost two month in New York in order to explore the ways of communicating Information in Museums and understanding how the whole planning process of exhibition works. One of my key observations is that there is a lot of planning from the institutions ahead but there is almost nothing that remains if an exhibition is over. There are catalogues, postcards and the documentation of the planning itself in the museum, maybe some invitations for the opening.
Some visitors take photos, notes and drawings home. But the experience itself is mostly lost, and whole lot of information gleaned and then fizzling out.
Our memory is made to remember what is important to us, so it is impossible that we just soak up all the texts from the panels and never forget anything. We are human and theres just very few individuals who have a brain that can store all this data. Most of us will have to use another way to store and keep the information and experience that we lived through.
Now this project is engaging with the experience in art and design related museums and galleries. If you are interested please follow this blog, I will try to keep you updated with at least one post a week!
