Nearly 6 months down the line from the launch of our biggest project yet – The National Consortium of Tribal Arts and Culture or NCTAC for short, we’re still getting calls for interviews and sound bytes as newspapers and magazines discover this one of a kind installation at Tejgadh…
Named Vaacha, which means voice, the interactive is set in an imaginary tribal village where one can visit the homes, fields, forests and market place to interact with the various tribal communities of India. Tribal paintings inspire the many folktales narrated at different points of the interactive and there are also video clips of fairs, festivals, dances and religious rituals. Over 30 different spaces can be visited each with multiple access points so that the interactive is a unique experience for each viewer.
Considering its is perhaps a first of its kind museum interactive in India, we were hoping for a more enthusiastic response, but the curators of these museums assure us that once the screens are running it will be a case of more visitors than they can handle. We certainly hope so…
For those of you in the neighbourhood of any of these museums early next year (that would be 2010) do drop in and check out the display and send us your feedback at info@myth-design.com. We want to hear from as many visitors as possible so we can incorporate your suggestions into these and future displays we design.
The Myth Design team had a lot of fun in the production of this interactive and I’ve added some snippets of the coverage it has received here… If you wanna read what the articles have to say, then just click on them...
