P.O.V.

P.O.V. is a mobile-first website for the Point Of View Exhibition by Colgate University’s Picker Art Gallery. We designed and deployed a custom-built website holding 10 artworks from the Picker Gallery with a unique model for displaying information about those works informed by student curators. Each artwork has a set of simple interactions enhancing and augmenting the viewer's experience of those works.

Buzzfeed quiz meets fine art in this experimental digital gallery exhibition. Covid-19 disrupted many plans, one of which was the in-person P.O.V. show. Professor Nick West and Carin Wolfe collaborated with us at Antidote to develop the digital experience.

Themes of isolation, remote engagement, and asynchronous interaction in meaning-making emerged during the class in fall 2020, and we developed these ideas along with student suggestions of using buzzfeed-style popular culture engagement models to shift how we engage with fine art.

Building on these ideas crowdsourced by the curatorial students at Colgate University, I designed a clean, colorful, and engaging experience that is built on the subjective context and reality of each viewer individually.

The Picker Gallery team and I collaborated frequently during this process, we used co-design approaches and workshopped our ideas together.

P.O.V. was Picker Gallery’s first digital experiment, and we found that hands-on collaboration was the best way to work.

Building on the diaspora-style of college under Covid-19, this exhibition helped bring in remote students and on-campus communities together.

Best experienced on a mobile device, P.O.V. is live!
