SFMOMA Kiosk Interface
Jeffrey Veen
"Because it's vastly different than assuming a user sitting at a computer, designing location-based media requires a unique sense of context. This site opens its audience up to the world of modern art by engaging it in so many ways at once."
- Jeffrey Veen
Consolidating thirteen previous multimedia features, this new kiosk system puts all of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's multimedia resources within a three-click reach of its visitors. Intelligent filtering makes it easy to find what you're looking for, even if you don't know an artist's name of the title of an artwork.

"This piece really does make sense of Modern art by allowing access into a world that can, at times, be elusive. It accomplished this artfully by providing an awe-inspiring breadth of context for each work inside an information architecture that helps people to make connections."
- Melissa Haworth
