Behavior Design Brings George Seurat's Sketchbooks to LifeBehavior Design reunites with The Museum of Modern Art, New York, for their latest exhibition, Georges Seurat: The Drawings, creating an interactive touch-screen kiosk that enables MoMA's visitors to virtually explore Seurat's four surviving sketchbooks.
Directly alongside their conventional showcase (each object opened to a single spread), the sketchbooks can be viewed in their magnificent entirety on two kiosk monitors.
Behavior mastered numerous challenges to collect, digitize, and choreograph elements into an intuitive and becoming interface that gracefully reveals Seurat's work and invites users to marvel and explore at will.
Roberta Smith of The New York Times praises the exhibition and its interactive experience, opening her review with delight at Behavior's contribution, stating "The Museum of Modern Art's elegantly plain exhibition of Georges Seurat's drawings begins with an unexpectedly extraordinary moment of computerized art viewing."
Visitors to the exhibition seem to agree-the sketches on each page intimately reveal insight to Seurat's methods that otherwise would remain hidden, accessible perhaps only to art historians and academics.
How can technology add value to the experience of viewing art?
