An Imaginary Museum
Designer Jon Stam has transformed a View-Master by replacing its film slides with a tiny digital screen to create an imaginary museum with continually updated content:
“There is no doubt that the memory function of the Museum has been superseded by the digital archive. Today, networked technology allows us to access information anywhere and at anytime, but a meaningful exhibition format for this information is far from commonplace. In this Imaginary Museum I try incorporate the new possibilities of the network while still retaining an intimate viewing experience and reassuring effect on the hardcopy.”
