Outside / Inside: Virtual Panoramas of Independence National Historical Park
Museum of The American Philosophical Society at Philosophical Hall, Philadelphia, Sept. 2007-Dec. 2008
Commissioned Multimedia Media Installation.
The work combines documentary video clips, archival photographs and text on a panoramic environment that includes two full loops from this position in Independence National Historic Park in Philadelphia, USA.
As users roll the computer mouse over the scrolling panoramas, they discover sites, sounds, and portals that open onto virtual expeditions. A reflection on how time and history change the ways we know a place, it is both an organic artwork developing over the course of the UNEXPECTED residency project and a documentary that will remain after it ends.
RECOMMENDATION: Close your tool bars and view in "full screen mode".
