McCahon House – Interactive Display Cabinet Installation
Colin McCahon House, the 1950s home of Colin McCahon, New Zealand’s most significant modern painter, is now a museum and artist residence.
The Museum demonstrates how preserving both artworks and the environment in which they were created can reveal the artist’s process and intent. Inspired by this approach, we were invited by Architect Rick Pearson to consult on the transformation of the existing display cabinets into interactive, immersive units to bring the existing content to life.
Automation Associates was then engaged by the Museum Trust to upgrade the visual and audio displays located in multiple cabinets around the museum to a modern standard and update the LED content lighting system.
