Boijmans + NARB

(image of comment + rating activity stream projection)

We just completed some work with Museum Boijmans van Beuningen. NARB is powering the Design Prize exhibition which opened September 15, 2009. The Design Prize runs across the Design Prize website and NARB, so two communities can participate. You can rate the pieces either from within the venue at the exhibition itself using a console next to the rating and comment stream wall, from the design prize website or use NARB web app or mobile offerings(iphone + mobile website) to do this.

We’re really excited to be able to start providing tools for curators and exhibition designers as we’re not only an online art guide. It’s the beginning of a set of tools we’ve been developing for museums. It’s now easy to add a small collection or exhibition and let the public rate it and add comments. You can then show these live at the location as part of an installation as well as giving your visitors a way to rate using both web and mobile (iphone and mobile website). It’s possible to host the collection and scoring on your own web page too. Do drop us a line if you are interested in this or have ideas of your own. While we are working on a whole bunch of new stuff, we want to hear what exhibition designers have on their feature wish-list.
