The Repository
interactive interpretive project
1999

An interactive installation commissioned for Oldham Museum and Art Gallery in 1999.

The piece formed part of a large exhibition celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Borough of Oldham.

The piece explored the collection contained in the museum and represented it to visitors as an interactive repository. A large interative map was porjected onto the wall of a space which contained a large quantity of objects, labelled only with brown luggage tags containing a number. Information about each object could then be accessed by exploring the map on the wall.
