Title: California Video Exhibit Interactive Kiosk
Skillset(s): Flash Coding / Animation
Client: The J. Paul Getty Museum
Challenge / Application of the Project: The J. Paul Getty Museum was preparing California Video - a large, innovative exhibit that would feature more than 50 single-channel videos and 15 installations by 58 artists. In the interest of providing the museum goer with a centralized method of finding out more about the artists or just way to easily navigate through the works of art in one, easily navigated location, they looked to install a series of touch-screen kiosks. The build would allow the user to search by date, category or artist. The catch was that they wanted to make sure this build was easily modified / transferrable to the online world without having to create (and pay for) an entirely new build.
What RCS brought to the project to benefit it / complete it: Red Card Studios worked with the Getty to establish up front what differences would exist between the exhibit and the online builds - which pieces of art they didn't have online rights to, which contained explicit content and needed special consideration, etc. Integrating the Getty's minimalist design (so as not to compete with the works of art themselves) the resulting build was a highly flexible and scalable Flash front-end. With one variable, the build was able to distinguish which build it was and populate itself accordingly based on an external XML document. Changes could easily be made by employees of the Getty should additional works of art be added or subtracted. The touch-screen kiosk and web presence provided a additional method by which to enjoy the works of art while the overall flexibility of this Flash build saved the Getty time and money.
