Overview

HindSight is a concept for experiencing the sixth floor of the Mattress Factory in the future, without the collector’s (Barbara Luderowski and Michael Olyjnik) presence. This concept requires the space to stay as it is and for the sixth floor to be added as a permanent exhibition. Our intention is to preserve the experience by allowing visitors to navigate the space in any order and presenting them with Barbara and Michael’s stories. These stories bring the collection together, and their stories of pursuit are the core behind what has been acquired.

Wearing wirelessly connected glasses and headphones, a visitor can see and hear stories about the artifacts in front of them. We outline a proposal of this experience and the technologies that are capable of bringing this concept to fruition.
