The Public gallery's dark exterior with organic windows outlined in pink.
The Public's brightly coloured interior with suspended orange structures and interactive stations.
A touchscreen activity asking visitors to manipulate a green geometric shape.
A gallery interface asking visitors whether they can say their name backwards.
An editing interface for choosing images and composing a printed design.
A basket interface explaining how visitors can save, edit and print their work.
The Public entrance illuminated pink with its name projected across the doors.

The visitor journey was tracked by RFID throughout the space. Images, sound and video created at each exhibit were saved for editing stations where visitors could compose, manipulate and print their own work.

A curved gallery walkway illuminated in pink beneath a display of visitor portraits.
Work made by visitors became part of the gallery itself.

I worked with AllofUs and other contractors to define the visitor experience and implement several core software interfaces.
