About the project

Highly interactive, visually striking, built on WordPress

Randomized question selection screen ensured the kiosk would attract attention even when not in use. Selected comments were featured on massive screens outside the exhibition.

Fully-customized WordPress build which allowed multiple admins to easily manage the site and select featured comments for display. Moderation and security concerns were top of mind due to the artist's controversial stances.

Planned, designed, coded and deployed in-gallery — by myself — in under 30 days.

This interactive piece is still available for viewing, although certain features are no longer available. Visit the Indianapolis Museum of Art's page via the Wayback Machine.
