checkpointmedia at the Institute of Higher Education, St. Pölten – Experts reveal how an exhibition is put together

During the 2011/2012 winter term, checkpointmedia's interdisciplinary team of experts explained every aspect of planning an exhibition as part of the “Interactive Media” module for students taking the course in Media Technology. Taking as a case study the exhibition “The Great World Theater. 90 Years of the Salzburg Festival”, which checkpointmedia created in 2010, the areas of artistic direction, architecture, content, multimedia, project management and technology were explained by current experts in order to give students an idea of just what is involved in creating a multimedia production. At the end the students were given a set of parameters for developing their own concept for an exhibition using multimedia, including an implementation plan that they presented verbally and in writing.
