I just played with the dance interactive. Very cool. I'm wondering about one that would allow people to "weave" from sheep to finished textile.

Online exhibitions applications like Exhibbit and ArtSteps allow you to put 2D art on a 3D model, but let's face it, it's a poor substitute for recreating the experience of an exhibition. For one thing you can't recreate scale. No matter how far you zoom in the artwork is only as large as your screen. I think that is one of the main reasons these types of online exhibitions are so unsatisfying. Rather than recreating a digital 3D gallery you should think about what are your educational goals for the exhibition and how can the interactivity of a web platform engage your audience in ways that are not possible with a physical exhibition.
Last year my team at yU+co worked with the Getty Research Institute on the Bauhaus: Building the New Artist online exhibition. This website not only accompanied a physical exhibition but provided more insight into the Bauhaus through interactive content. For Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet, we used a new web platform to create an interactive 3D performance of the ballet. This interactive web experience allowed users to create their own ballet with a variety of Bauhaus costumes and dances. This is something that was never possible before.

The closing of museums has presented an opportunity to rethink online education. Feel free to reach out to me to discuss how my team can support your online exhibition short term and long term goals.
Thanks

I know a few museums who are using Exhibbit and have given good reviews. It's very similar to ArtSteps.
