UX/ UI design
Intimacy Of Social Distancing
An online exhibition that explores what happens to intimacy in the
new coronavirus world order. How do we get closer to one another
while respecting the rules of isolation? Can art be the means? Can
it touch us through, despite, and thanks to the screen? Together
with Inbal Sini we created an online exhibition, Inbal was the
curator and the writer and I was in charge of the UX and UI. I
wanted to create an interesting and interactive wandering
experience in the browser, so visitors would feel as close as
possible to a real life gallery. There were two main things that
lead me to create this design. The first was a curation decision,
we wanted the show to be divided into inner pages which represent
different rooms in the gallery. So I create a space that the user
can browse and get a sneak peek at what happens at the different
pages. Because it was an exhibition I did want to create some kind
of space even if it exists only online.
The second thing was to direct the audience as much as I can. The
exhibition was not a regular user experience so it was
important to me that every point will give some guidance: on
boarding, animation of mouse movements, arrows of back to the main
page and automatic return once you finish the page.
