Van Abbemuseum

Digital campaigns for exhibitions

The Van Abbemuseum turned to Moniker to develop digital campaigns for their exhibitions. Each campaign features multiple small websites which are designed to be spread from person to person.

Each campaign website is designed by appropriating existing internet services such as Instagram and Twitter as design tools.

Hito Steyerl

The main website for Hito Steyerl's campaign automatically researches the text in the invitation in Wikipedia.

In the background of the reminder website, the physical addresses of large internet websites are looked up on Google Maps. Their distance to the Van Abbemuseum is displayed in the foreground.

For the pre announcement website, all possible named web colors are looked up using Microsoft Bing image search. Like a chameleon, the typography changes it's color to fit in.

For the announcement website of a day of discussions surrounding Hito Steyerl's latest movie, we collected a series of movies on Youtube that contain green screen backgrounds.

The green screen movies are embedded in the background and play at random.
