Imagine, it’s not the Olympic Games that has me hankering after a trip to London, but this groovy new exhibition at the city’s Science Museum. A collaboration between the museum and Google, the Web Lab is “a groundbreaking, year-long exhibition, featuring a series of interactive Chrome Experiments that bring the extraordinary workings of the internet to life.” I absolutely love the look of the physical installations glimpsed in the video above, while I logged in online to play around with the Universal Orchestra, for which you can contribute sounds from both within the museum and virtually. It’s a concept I find positively delightful, though I confess I couldn’t make much sense of how to interact with it, which was a shame (and also doesn’t necessarily say much.) Still, if anyone gets to visit the real thing, please do let me know how it is. Design credits, meanwhile, go to the likes of Tellart, Universal Design Studio, MAP, b-reel, Karsten Schmidt and Fraser Randall.
