"How might we make the artworks accessible to the public in an online environment, while enabling them to  explore the archive and be notified about upcoming exhibitions?"

I wanted to create the archive by using familiar patterns paired with some novel elements of content organization. This is done by using a spatial interface where all content is easily accessible from the main home page. However, all more detailed information is hidden via collapsible tabs, creating breathing space for quality images and key information about upcoming shows.

"How might we encourage the user to explore the online gallery archive and engage with the art?”

One of the solutions was to gamify the experience. Instead of creating a 2D, list-based structure to present the past exhibitions, I wanted to improve the experience by designing a spatial, free-form interface based on mobile direct access – The user is taken directly to the main action of the website, placed in an environment where he interacts freely. 

“How might we inform users about upcoming exhibitions?”

Keeping the familiar patterns in mind, I came up with the idea of pop-ups to notify users about upcoming shows. This ties well into the gamified experience while presenting the information in a more direct way, which should attract the user’s attention quickly.
