Project Overview

.

Flow is an immersive, interactive exhibition of Netherlandish Art created for the Museum of Fine Art, Boston. The room-scale works pair landscapes with soundscapes, using camera sensing and projections to reveal layers of content as visitors approach.

Designed to reward curiosity and foster connection, Flow invites visitors to look more closely at masterworks by 17th-century Dutch and Flemish artists to see how a world four centuries and one ocean away can so closely reflect the way we live today.

Touchless Interactivity

A core element of our strategy in designing Flow was creating a memorable interactive experience that everyone would feel safe using in today’s world. For us at Bluecadet, that means helping our partners like the Museum of Fine Art, Boston move away from touch-based tablets to more spatial experiences based on interaction driven by proximity, gestures, and motion.

Short Stories for Lasting Impressions

Bluecadet designed Flow to appeal to as wide an audience as possible — particularly those who may be unfamiliar with art history. Rather than confront visitors with exhaustive “tombstones” of educational text, we worked with the expert curators at MFA to create and share brief impressions of life in 17th-century Netherlands. As a result, the interactive works quickly and accurately convey a sense of what it felt like to live in the artists’ world.
