AMVC-Letterenhuis, Antwerpen

The Letterenhuis renovated its permanent exhibition on Flemish literature in October 2004.
We were responsible for the production, installation and control of two interactive modules.

In the module Heimat, the visitor can indicate a place on the map of Flanders on a touch screen. Information about an author from this area is displayed in 3 small light boxes. Simultaneously, a fragment from a book of this author is being read out loud.
I2F MediaBrick controls the associations and circuits and establishes the graphic relations for the touchscreen.

The module Debutantenbox consists of a dark, square room with 53 glass show cases on all sides. Each show case presents an object related to a certain writer. At each instance, 6 show cases are illuminated simultaneously. Every 10 seconds, a light goes out and another one goes on, seemingly at random. For these connections, which have to be done correctly and in a reliable way on long term, Inter2Face has put in its 64 channel wide I/O Peripheral Card, a "solid state" apparatus designed by Richard Evans.
