Media Factory — Permanent Exhibition at Swiss Museum of Transport

For the Swiss Museum of Transport iart conceived and planned an interactive multimedia system on the operating methods and processes of television and broadcasting studios. The exhibition areas ‘Production’, ‘Selection’ and ‘Distribution’ exemplify three steps in the production of TV programmes by SRG SSR idée Suisse, a Swiss TV and radio broadcasting station.

Among other media installations, there is a TV studio where visitors can act as producers and moderators themselves and create their own TV show. All performances and productions are presented live on screens in the exhibition and can be saved to be shown on the Internet. The producers decide where their content shall be presented. Through the bar code on the ticket, the system automatically relates the content to the visitor who produced them.
