Diversified has partnered with the Museum of Art + Light (MoA+L) on a digital-first, immersive museum 'where the boundaries between art and audience dissolve'.
Opening 8 Nov in Manhattan, Kansas, the new museum space, which covers a quarter of the museum's footprint, is powered by AV systems. These systems include Meyer immersive audio technology, over 100 Epson projectors spanning approximately 37,000 linear square feet to produce about 188 million pixels, and the largest U.S. deployment of the Modulo Pi media server.
The exhibition titled Renoir: A Luminous Evolution will use this setup to immerse visitors in the life and works of Pierre-Auguste Renoir. In it, visitors will encounter art in ways that go far beyond the traditional gallery format, enveloping them in a world that is unlike anything they’ve experienced before and moving them emotionally through the power of storytelling. Visitors will feel as though they are stepping into the artist’s world, experiencing scenes like a rain-soaked London and watching Renoir's iconic paintings come to life.
Beyond the museum’s current exhibitions, the technology implemented by Diversified was designed with future versatility in mind. MoA+L anticipates using the space for various events, including lectures, town halls, and weddings, adapting it to the needs of the community.
The collaboration also extends to the museum’s De Coded Digital Gallery, where 32 Videri digital screens will showcase NFT artwork, and an outdoor projection system enhances the ambiance during events. Additionally, Diversified designed and integrated a robust Cisco Meraki network, which supports all the museum’s experiences as well as office operations. Given the unprecedented scale of the project, extensive testing and pre-configuration were conducted at Diversified’s fabrication facility in New Jersey.
