Connecting with your collection
Microworld exhibitions provide the perfect opportunity to connect audiences with your collection. Genetic Moo can design a digital artwork incorporating artefacts and/or specimens, re-presenting them in a new and exciting way.
How does it work
In consultation with Genetic Moo, objects from your collection will be selected to incorporate into a bespoke artwork. Depending on feasibility, we will visit your collection to document these items or you can provide us with photographs and video. We will then create a unique artwork for the Microworld.
example 1:
"Animats" Microworld: Amelia, The Amelia Scott Museum, Royal Tunbridge Wells, 2023
A touch-screen creature builder. Visitors can combine a set of body parts into an Animat and send it into a large screen to explore the space with other Animats.
The Amelia Scott Animats has a library of body bit graphics curated from the museum’s collection of toys and animals. Swimming amongst the Animats is a cartoon Platypus inspired by the museum’s Duck-Billed Platypus.
example 2:
"The Silurian Sea" Microworld Wolves, Wolverhampton Art Gallery 2023
Dozens of organisms crawl around the screen building up a geological record of their activity. Amongst them are eight Silurian creatures inspired by fossils in the Wolverhampton Arts and Culture collection and six trilobites constructed from digital photographs of the collection's 19th-century steelware.
“The artists worked with a range of objects from our collection including snail shells, Tunbridge Ware and everybody's favourite stuffed dog, Minnie the Lulu Terrier! It's been fascinating reimagining these much-loved objects and giving them a new digital life.”
- Ed Liddle, Exhibitions Officer for The Amelia. Microworld Amelia 2023
