*****************************************************************************

"Exhibit" and "exhibition" are synonyms in all dictionaries of American English.  If differentiation is desired, there is no shortage of suitable terms: hall, gallery, wing, installation; display, component, case, kiosk, vitrine, interactive.  In this particular instance, I was interested in either, and recognize that each will create different impacts, have a different influence.

While object theaters are a wonderfully evocative technology, they are not necessarily *digital* technology.

We had our follow-up discussion in class this week.  Thanks to everyone for your input -- much of it was quite helpful!
