Hello, all:

We are prototyping a new exhibition called ShadowPlay, the first we  
have conceived, designed, and built in-house.  Here is a video of the  
prototyping session <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5XqhbW_RX4>

One of the challenges and criteria for designing and building this  
exhibition is that it can be de-installed and reinstalled (in the same  
space) in a couple of hours.  It is in a multi-purpose space in our  
new wing, so we can move it out for rentals, education programs, etc.

Another challenge and criterion is that we had $55K to do the whole  
thing, lighting, electric and all (not including tons of staff time).

Have a look, and we'd be grateful to the ISEN hive-mind for comments  
and ideas.

Big shout out to the Hall's Exhibit Services Dept for getting this done!
