work: Digital Experiences

IKD provides intergrated digital experience design including interactives design, media display design, and virtual reality experience design.  

  • IKD was responsible for the installation and exhibition design of the first ever museum retrospective of a single video game designer. The exhibition, The Game Worlds of Jason Rohrer at the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, is a survey of the independent game designer Jason Rohrer work which has formed part of the Museum of Modern Art’s initial video game acquisition.The central theme examines where video games are positioned within our daily culture and questions whether or not video games are art. The space is designed around four large installations that both create immersive environments to enhance game-play and form an interpretation of the games themselves. It also challenges the traditional notion that exhibition design should sit quietly behind the exhibited work. While the design is centered on creating a focus on exhibited works The Games Worlds of Jason Rohrer explores new possibilities in exhibition design through the immersive installation environments. image by Ben KouTo see a panoramic click here

  • Common Threads: Weaving Stories Across Time featured a newly commissioned opera inspired by a set of 16th century Flemish tapestries. A table at the center of the gallery, designed to embody the opera’s lyrical qualities, functioned as a place where visitors could pick up headphones and watch an introductory video. “Threads” made of electrical conduit rose up from the center of the tabletop as if it was unraveling, and became label holders for each of the tapestries that were part of the opera. Since the opera itself had no form, the installation was able to give it physical presence.
