Art-mix + keyhole
It will be interesting to see your combined art-mix and keyhole prototype on Friday!
A few things for you to consider from a museum perspective:
Is this a piece for one person only, or do you imagine a museum producing several sets?
If it is just a single piece, it will be difficult to use with school groups, because each person will probably spend quite some time arranging the pieces and playing around. The other kids will be bored in the meantime....
Would it be possibly instead to implement the art-mix idea in a way that allows more users to either participate or at least see what the user is doing (inside the box everything is hidden?)
This might be suited for individuals, families with kids or groups with just a few people visiting the museum.
Compare with original keyhole idea: a private viewing experience, but just a short gaze through the keyhole allowing for other visitors to follow rather quickly.
Finally, what about durability?

Your keyhole idea
Hi Karen & Johanne
At the museum we really liked the idea of the keyhole, and who knows, perhaps it could be implemented at some point? In that case, we might prefer a single keyhole installation (for instance somewhere at the entrance or another place where people linger a bit and are not busy watching the exhibition).
People could look through the hole to see a (flat) screen inside displaying images from the "hidden collection", perhaps including images from the storage rooms themselves to give the secrecy feeling.
Other kinds of information could be included too, of course, and we could be able to do new slideshows etc.
The reason for the single keyhole installation is that we want people to get a glimpse of something hidden (because in storage or only online) and we believe the focus is stronger if this idea is used only in one place in the museum. If a flat screen with a slideshow is NOT used, we could consider the version with several key holes, each with an image to be viewed inside, wich is also a very nice idea.
The keyhole is interesting too because several artists have used the idea of peeping through a hole in their work – check these links:

Concept-developing
Johanne and I are developing on the ideas of the keyhole + the possibility to combine forms/shapes of paintings. We dont know yet which one of them we want to work with, or maybe we will combine them. You will hear from us...
Concept idea: Make your own art-exhibit
Choose from the digitized artworks, and make your own selection for your own art-exhibit.
