Company: Second Story / Razorfish
Role: Lead Exhibit Designer
Client: ACMI Australian Center for the Moving Image
1500 sqm redesign of the permanent gallery for the Australian Center for the Moving Image (ACMI) in Melbourne. The exhibit takes the visitor through the history of film and moving image. This project is part of a larger renewal effort that involves a building redesign, re-branding and reshaping of ACMI as a key Australia Film institution.
As part of the exhibit design, Second Story and ACMI also developed an Enchanted Object that helps users collect, reveal and activate moments throughout their visit. Through the visit, the enchanted object activates multiple immersive experiences and interactive activities such as an immersive Foley Room experience, a light garden of precious projected moving image content and a mechanical rotating handle that allows visitors to split time in a film clip and reveal the workings of the moving image.
