Interactive zone in
the Museum of Russian Impressionism
Russia, Moscow
The Visuals team designed and created a multimedia zone for the museum.

We came up with the idea of an interactive zone, designed installations, elaborated architecture, technical solutions and content. We installed and launched the interactive zone in time.

Our architectures transformed installations to the art-objects from an artificial stone, ideally complementing the museum space.

How to enrich impressions from a museum visit with the help of technologies?

Interactive zone helps visitors to adapt to the painting world, learn about the artist's tools and his or her work principles.

Basic techniques for working with colour and shades, distinctions between impressionist and classical, historical facts - multimedia guide through different kinds of art is available to everyone.

As a sign of respect to paintings we designed installations in such a way that visitors do not have to turn their backs to the paintings at any moment.

Feedback from a customer
« We announced a large casting call to realize this project. We met several leading companies on the multimedia technology market, exchanged and looked through their presentations. And finally we've chosen VISUALS for several reasons.

Firstly, the company suggested one of the most interesting conceptions of interactive space organisation. Secondly, VISUALS presented the latest technological innovations - combination of holographic and video effects with real objects. We found this idea interesting. In fact, installation exceeded all our expectations.

Thirdly, of course, VISUALS reacted to our craziest ideas, never estimating something as impossible, and tried to find a technological solution for each of our ideas».
