For anyone considering a motion-based installation there is a VITAL lesson "hidden" in this video. The reason this #activation works so well has little to do with the actual programming. The secret is the circles on light on the floor telling people where to stand. As long as one person stands on each circle this activation will sing. The minute three or four people crowd around, or the two people wander from their circles it all starts to fall apart. So often, the success or failure of an interactive activation has less to do with the technology than the environment in which the it is activated. #experientialdesign #interactive

WHAT'S MISSING FROM MUSEUMS? There's an unmet desire from audiences: Active Participation & Personal Connection. Many museums still rely on static displays, expecting visitors to observe quietly. 🥱 Active participation helps visitors internalise and remember what they see, creating a more meaningful, memorable visit. But almost most importantly, people want to engage socially—either on-site with friends/family or via social. Static exhibits don’t facilitate this very well.
