Wired Worlds: Exploring the Digital Frontier. A pioneering galleryof digital media discovery

The National Museum of Photography, Film and Television is Britain's leading center for lens-based media. To provide a strengthened platform for the 21st Century, the museum created a new flagship gallery that explores and addresses the importance of digital media. “Wired Worlds: Exploring the Digital Frontier” uses innovative presentational and communication approaches to describe the distinctive nature, styles and techniques of digital media. The 500-m ² gallery took nearly three years and $2.2 million to complete. To address the challenges of an evolving field, we adopted an intensive, organic research and development approach. We organized a creative/curatorial project team, 10 contracted international digital media artists and developers, and a London-based design studio. We also consulted with other media professionals, academics and partnership companies
