The Archival Imaginarium took Wellcome’s digital collection as its starting point, asking how the digital encounter influences the way medical humanities research is conducted. Researchers frequently describe experiences of a collection through notions of chance, in ‘happening upon’ or ‘discovering’ items.
My task was to create a website that responded to the research process undertaken as part of Thinking Through Things. I had to establish a functional online architecture and designed and built the website using webflow and further interactive elements created in After Effects and exported to webflow as Lottie files.
I was given a variety of archive materials, and artistic responses to it including drawings, audio files, written excerpts and questions.
