Visualizing Sound: HTML Site w/video

As the first pre-opening exhibition for the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, the exhibition Visualizing Sound‘s site was an exploration in developing MSU’s new art museum Web media and how it would represent itself.

From the images captured of a visualizer reacting to the sound produced by a metal sculpture I found stylistic cues for how to design the title graphic and basic layout of the page.

It was also an opportunity to use a different jQuery plugin for implementing a shadow box (NFLightbox) when clicking on  images. The site’s a simple fixed width site, but does run across all browsers reliably in a pixel perfect manner.


Shown below is the video I shot, edited, and published on the BroadMuseumMSU’s Youtube channel:
