Ideum (www.ideum.com) is a creative company focused on using emerging technologies to design and build public installations and products that lead to memorable visitor experiences. Ideum’s multidisciplinary team of interactive exhibit developers includes industry professionals from a diverse set of backgrounds, including designers, programmers, exhibit fabricators, and experts in a range of educational and scientific fields. We believe that interactive exhibits provide unique opportunities for storytelling and social interaction. Our deep understanding of new technologies, compelling narratives, and the design opportunities they present allows us to create exhibits that are first-of-their-kind. We have developed interactive exhibits that utilize emerging technologies such as: touch tables, tangible object interfaces, projection mapping, video walls, LED lighting, and a variety of electronic components. Our projects have explored topics in art, science, history, and culture. Our collaborators are influential museums, Fortune 500 companies, and other innovative institutions.Our holistic approach to design, technology, and the visitor experience sets us apart from other companies. We stand apart from many other interactive design firms not only because we build unique standalone hardware products, but because we also develop content and specialized software. Being accomplished in content development, hardware, software, and custom fabrication means we understand the full spectrum of skills and components necessary for creating immersive and compelling installations. In addition, Ideum is an A/V dealer/distributor and has partnerships with 3M, Barco, BrightSign, Christie, Crestron, Intel, LG, and others. View Profile
Ideum has teamed up with Cochiti Pueblo artist, potter, and fashion designer Virgil Ortiz to create a projection mapped installation as part of Ortiz’s ReVOlution: Rise Against the Invasion exhibition at the Colorado Fine Arts Center in Colorado Springs. This deeply compelling exhibition fuses traditional Cochiti art with Ortiz’s futuristic works to tell the story of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, and takes visitors into the future for the Revolution of 2180.
The Ideum team worked with Ortiz to bring his story to life with a visual narrative that first took form with a pre-show Prelude. Ideum continued working with Ortiz to create the longer eight-minute immersive showpiece for the exhibit, which tells the fanciful story of next century’s Revolution:
Set in 2180, the Pueblos are in chaos and the invasion of Native land continues as the scourge of war rages everywhere. The Aeronauts summon their fleet and prepare for extreme warfare against the invading Castilian forces. The Aeronauts search for any remaining clay artifacts from the battlefield, knowing the importance of preserving and protecting their clay, culture, language and traditions from extinction.
Ortiz and Ideum worked with Colorado College to determine the most effective way to utilize the 1800-square-foot exhibit space and create a powerfully immersive environment for visitors. The exhibit features large scale projection on three walls of the gallery, each utilizing a single projector, with 3D mapped projection on two obelisks and moon models. A battle scene between the Aeronauts and the Castilians fills the center of the exhibit space, with full sized mannequins sporting battle regalia designed and created by Ortiz. The collaborative process for creating the projections involved several months of filming and editing content to fine tune the unfolding story.
