With the growth of online communities, consumption of information has become a much more active experience. We’re all now able to create and publish new content and images instantly. ‘Collate’ brought this experience into a physical space over the course of the London Design Festival.

The installation was based around a series of touchscreens and projections. By using each of the screens, visitors could select images, design pages and vote on content to include in the book.

We developed an interface that allowed visitors, without any prior knowledge of layout software, to create pages for the book. By using simple, familiar interaction patterns like voting, tagging and selecting, the process was opened up to the gallery audience.
