This blog is a part of our schoolprojekt "Interaktionsdesign";
How can the visitors’ understanding of a museum exhibition or object be enhanced through an interactive installation?
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:
