Stiftung Humboldt Forum – Intro Rooms
Multimedia Installation for Intro Rooms at the Humboldt Forum - Berlin
We designed four installations of large, layered screens. Each installation adapted to the layout of one of the four rooms. Each arrangement describes a curve. If further followed, the curves connect the visitors, the museum and the outside world.
The visual programming combines short, multi-language welcome sequences with sequences of object chapters. Each chapter places an object and thereby parts of the museum collection in a global, thematic, and artistic context. The visitors are invited to move around, change their perspective to explore the layered media – resemblant of the multitude of thematic perspectives and layers that any of the objects in the collection offers.
The experience is accompanied by a multi-channel sound installation that actively furthers the idea of changing perspective. Sound design and original sound bites coming from the screens interplay with the more atmospheric sound design from the ceiling.
The intro rooms now form waymarks in the building that playfully challenge visitors to repeatedly see the many different contexts and readings of the objects on display.
