DIGITAL EXHIBITION
Modus Arts was keen on producing both physical and digital outputs on the Tape Letters project, and deployed FrameVR, a WebXR technology developed by US-based tech firm Virbella, to produce a browser-based digital exhibition that also ported into true VR space. Marianne Marplondon was hired to design the online exhibition in multiple formats, including multi-room and single-scene versions of the exhibition, in some instances modelling experiences in typical gallery settings, providing a simultaneously familiar yet state-of-the-art virtual experience.
A series of online events were held in partnership with South Asian Heritage Month, the People’s History Museum, Ort Gallery, Kala Sangam, the Bishopsgate Institute, the National History Museum in Lahore, and others. Virbella, the developer of the FrameVR platform, chose to showcase the Tape Letters digital exhibition as an example of Extended Reality technology being utilised in a social history context.
