The nice folks of design studio “Trapped in Suburbia” were asked to redesign the torture basement exhibition of museum goudA on a budget. The adhesive vinyl masks for the UV reactive paint and flashlight key chains were all cut at the CabFabLab. The results are stupendous! This is a great example of how the FabLab can be used for financially constrained projects. Time, effort, a little love and access to a FabLab can easily match the results of a big budget production.
Description from Trapped in Suburbia’s Behance page:
“For museum goudA, we were asked to redesign the torture exhibition in their cellar. And so we started to think how to make it more exciting and get kids to read the little signs next to the torture equipment. We decided to make it an experience and put all the information on the floor with UV-paint. One can only see the illustrations and explanations when shining the UV-flashlight over certain areas, otherwise it is simply white. This interactivity forces you to go exploring and discover new things. All the info on the floor is hand drawn, even the text. Illustration was done by Jos Verwer, the typography by Trapped in Suburbia. Special thanks to the CabFabLab, for their support.”

[...] Torture Basement at museum goudA Es un diseño por un sotano de un museo. Es un patron de vinyl y pintura que reacciona a UV. El patron es cortado por Fablab y el resultado es muy bueño. Me gusta el idea de un secunda capa que no es visible primero pero da un grand valor extra al espacio.Es tambien interessante por el arquitectura quizas un facada o plaza con un imagen que es solamente visible por la noche.http://cabfablab.nl/2010/01/09/torture-basement-at-museum-gouda/ [...]
