CULTURAL HERITAGE
Collabaorations with cultural institutions to design interactive and immersive experiences within their exhibits.
Art and Democracy
Museum of Fine Arts - Boston, Massachusetts
November 2024
Art and politics have always been connected through history. In this exhibit, the MFA wanted to design an experience that would amplify the voices of visitors in what they believed to be representational of democracy leading up to the 2024 presidential election. We worked with the exhibition team to establish this installation that used a combination of AI and human review to ensure submitted entries were safe for the public while allowing critique of the current political climate. This moderation combination allowed for thousands of visitors to contribute to a collective art piece while maintaining the exhibit's integrity.
Hallyu! The Korean Wave
Museum of Fine Arts - Boston, Massachusetts
February - March 2020
We worked as a nimble team in producing seventeen synchronized videos for the MFA's entry installation for their Hallyu! The Korean Wave exhibit. This introductory video, viewed by thousands of visitors, included remixes of the popular dance to Psy's "Gangnam Style" to set the stage for the global impact that Korean culture has had on the world.
More information on the exhibit can be found here.
A JERSEY FOR HELMUTT
Worcester Art Museum
June 2021
For the duration of six months, I worked in a student development team in collaboration with the Worcester Art Museum to design an app for The Iconic Jersey exhibition. I worked as the project manager, co-vector artist, co-UI designer, and user testing coordinator through this project. This app is available on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store (linked below).
STORAGE ROOM STORIES:
CREATING AN ONLINE ARCHIVE TO MAKE MUSEUM COLLECTIONS MORE ACCESSIBLE.
Hönnunarsfn Museum - Reykjavik, Iceland
October 2020
Myself and three other WPI students remotely worked with the Hönnunarsfn Museum, located in Reykjavík, Iceland. Through the span of sixteen weeks we designed an online archive that features two interviews with local artists whose works are in the museum's storage. This project aimed to make their collection more accessible to the public as well as research the connection between Icelandic artists and their national identities.
CRAFTING A NEW HOME: REFUGEE ARTISANS OF WORCESTER-CRAFTMAKERS AT WORK
Worcester Center for Crafts x Refugee Artisans of Worcester
October 2019 - January 2020
Over the course of ten weeks, I filmed and edited a video for the Refugee Artisan's of Worcester's (RAW) 2020 exhibition at the Worcester Center for Crafts. People often do not think about craftmaking as a form of art, so RAW hoped that by including a video showing the artisans as they worked, visitors would see the dedication and skill involved. I had the privilege to film ten refugee artisans as they were crafting, and in the process I learned about more about different cultural customs and the journey that refugees face.
