For the Antwerp Fashion Museum (MoMu), Studio Dos Santos devised a digital solution: an interactive touchscreen video wall that is visible and accessible even when the museum is closed. The wall consists of eight 55-inch screens that cover a total of 10 square metres.
Because the screens are outside, the designers could not use the usual
optical touch technology, but had to develop a more complex touchscreen. Visitors can view photos and videos in five different lanuages. The video wall provides information not only about the MoMu but the other ‘residents’ of the building as well: the Antwerp fashion academy and Flanders Fashion Institute. With this project, the MoMu is a pioneer in the field of digital opening of its archives. The technical solution was entrusted to Lab101. The project received the support of Tourism Flanders.
