THE MUSEUM YOU WANT

An interactive dynamic game asks users to think about what they want a museum to be in both the physical and digital realms. Should it be a memory palace of collective histories, a simulacrum of a physical space, a site for viewing collections on-line or something else entirely?

 

What can make the experience of an on-line museum unique? The database of questions functions as a neural net, a continuously evolving entity that grows and changes exponentially as more users answer the questions; ultimately resulting in a unique graphical index programmable by each user.
