Bringing life to the unseen

​

By changing the relationship between the museum, the curator and the viewer, we want to allow the viewer to become the curator of their own bespoke museum.

 

The V&A only shows between 5-8% of its total catalogue at any one time. By moving the museum to a warehouse, access to objects that may have previously been viewed or have never been seen is made possible. In essence ‘Bringing life to the unseen’.

 

The warehouse will utilise a fully automated system consisting of robots implemented by the likes of Amazon, Alibaba and the British library. Through an interface much like a search engine, the viewer can search objects which the mechanical arm can bring to them in a controlled area for them to view.
