ZOOM Museum

ZOOM Museum is a ‘digital museum’ I conceptualized and designed in May 2020, at the time where major U.S. universities and corporations first transitioned to remote operations.

It began as a pool of high-resolution images of works exhibited in physical art institutions around the United States, released digitally for socially-distanced patronage through teleconferencing background images.

Now the museum acts as sort of time-capsule, capturing the absurdity of life in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic.

With ‘exhibitions’ from 21 contributing museums, ZOOM Museum is the largest intra-institutional art museum collaboration till date. The website includes a link to download all of the high-res images, and comprehensive instructions on how to use them.
