In the Exhibition: “The Secret Life of Objects, an Interactive Map of Finnish Design”
(18.3. – 1.6.2008) we have implemented an instance of ImaNote to gathered visitors’ and staff’s stories, opinions, jokes and questions. Through the interactive map visitors could give their comments about the objects and enjoy comments that were left by other visitors.

We organized workshops in which teenagers and children were invited to work with design objects using music, poetry, photography and drawing. Audio-visual materials gathered in the workshops were accessible in the exhibition and on-line through the interactive map and the blog .
Visitors could comment on the historical material related to the objects, on the material coming from the workshops, on the objects of the exhibition, on other visitors’ comments, on the exhibition as a whole, and on the future design.

The project “The Secret Life of Objects”, was done in collaboration between Design Museum and Media Lab, University of Art and Design Helsinki. An abstract of this project was published in the Compilation of cultural accessibility projects. European Year of Intercultural Dialogue. April 2008, Turku, Finland.
