You could try calling Brad Larson of StoryKiosk: http://www.bradlarson.com/storykiosk/ <http://www.bradlarson.com/storykiosk/> He's done a lot of this kind of work. __ Jason Jay Stevens Flutter & Wow Museum Projects 1013 Fountain Street #1 Ann Arbor MI 48103 210.364.6305 > On Apr 14, 2017, at 3:44 PM, Brent Brookler wrote: > > Hi Jason > > I think you were possibly referring to StoryCorps - https://storycorps.org > - I am not sure if they charge or how it works 100%, but could be a > solution. > > If that isn't helpful, or looking for something else, I'd be happy to > discuss and brainstorm with you. > > Thanks, > - Brent > > Download FlowVella for iPhone/iPad *here* <http://bit.ly/flowvella-now> > Made with in Seattle! > > +1.206.650.5170 > br...@flowvella.com > https://flowvella.com > > On Fri, Apr 14, 2017 at 11:22 AM, Jason Bondy wrote: > >> Hello all, >> >> >> My apologies if this has been discussed here before, but I didn't find >> anything when I searched the archive. >> >> We are planning an exhibit and would like to set up an oral history >> recording booth for visitors to record their stories on the topic.

Re: [MCN-L] 360-Projection Examples and Experience
The installation at the Institute of Texan Cultures is a rare and impressive example of immersive theater. The original production was about culture, not science, btw. The Eames produced something very similar in their famous World Fair Expo pavilion for IBM in 1964. The World Expo 67 in Montreal featured a whole range of alternative, immersive moving image exhibits along these lines. You can find film of both on youTube. The immersive theater at the ITC comes from the same era — produced for the Hemisfair in 1968. If you widen your search beyond the moving image, per se, you can trace the whole medium back to to the big panorama rotundas of the 19th century. These often served the same purpose as the NYTimes product, in that they frequently portrayed "current events" (the definition of "current" has changed!) from far off places, especially military campaigns. This is a focus of my longterm research, as well as a medium I have worked in artistically, and I love talking about this stuff. Feel free to get in touch if you want to discuss it more! On that note, what is your end goal with this research?

[MCN-L] Embedding LCD screens in new walls?
For that, I like cabinet doors or blended panels with hidden, magnetic latches, or tastefully-placed panel bolts. If the design accepts it, a floating panel--not going all the way to the ceiling or the floor, cleated-and-pinned, out in front of the wall is pretty easy to implement, too. : j Jason Jay Stevens Flutter & Wow Museum Projects P.
