This Innovative new residency was launched in the spring of 2011 with the fabulous support of the Children’s Creativity Museum. I developed the residency to take a different approach to exhibit design by building in prototyping sessions where the public interacted with elements and iterations of the exhibit throughout it’s development process. It is imperative when designing for children that the exhibit is tested along the way; kids will always surprise you with what resonates and what can possibly be broken!
The first residency, by artists Michelle Blade and Joshua Churchill, produced an immersive, interactive audio visual environment emulating a cosmic campout, complete with echoing canyon.The next round is currently in the application phase, and I look forward to working with our next artist!
