Learn about exciting new developments at Night Kitchen Interactive.
After a year-long collaboration with the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Night Kitchen Interactive has officially launched PhilaPlace – an interactive website illuminating the history and culture of Philadelphia’s unique neighborhoods.
Exciting news! The Country Dog Gentlemen interactive that Night Kitchen developed for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has been awarded Outstanding Achievement in the Kids category by the Interactive Media Awards.
This fall, Night Kitchen worked with the National Constitution Center to develop a website around its International Engagement programming and the Center’s role in fostering an international dialog around the American constitutional experience. With a dynamic homepage, blog, and access to information on current and upcoming projects, the International Engagement site connects visitors to the many compelling NCC programs thriving beyond its walls. One such project is Recording Democracy: The Making of "We the People".
We’re excited to announce that The College of Physicians of Philadelphia has selected Night Kitchen Interactive to develop The Virtual Museum of Vaccines website. In keeping with the College’s community education initiatives on healthcare, the website is intended to provide context and understanding of the ways in which vaccines work, how they have been developed, and the role that they’ve played in human health over the last few hundred years.
At this year’s MAAM annual meeting, Matthew Fisher will co-chair Museums and the Social Web: From Exhibits to PR to Fundraising with Lesly Attarian, Vice President of External Affairs at Please Touch Museum and Rachel Dukeman, Cultural Consultant at R&R Creative.
Night Kitchen Interactive will be collaborating with the Smithsonian Institution Archives to establish a cohesive web presence that reflects the SIA’s full range of offerings. Over the next few months, we will be conducting a comprehensive audit of eight existing websites, interviewing stakeholders and audience groups, and identifying the design, content, and technology requirements for the site’s implementation.
Earlier this year we created the Country Dog Gentlemen interactive for the touch-screen kiosks at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s Koret Visitor Education Center. Guided by the canine characters from Roy De Forest’s painting, visitors can watch animated stories to learn about artists such as Jackson Pollock, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe, and other artists. In addition, they can create their own masterpieces through six art-making activities and share it with friends and family directly from the kiosks.
Matthew Fisher will be moderating a panel titled "Crowdsourcing Culture" from 4-5:30pm on Monday, October 5th at Innovation Philadelphia’s second Global Creative Economy Convergence Summit. Crowdsourcing, the practice of turning to a large group or community to solve problems, is a rapidly growing area thanks to online networks and social media. Technology is pushing the limits of participation and engagement to undreamed of levels and organizations are using these tools in new and innovative ways. This panel explores how crowdsourcing is impacting business, culture, design and even politics, as the group has been turned from audience into collaborator.
The National Constitution Center (NCC) asked Night Kitchen to bring these American icons to life through The Founders Quiz. This lively interactive invites you to answer a short series of engaging questions and discover which Founder you most resemble through a series of amusing questions, prompting the participant to think about a range of scenarios, from what he or she would most like to do to decompress, to how he or she would navigate dinner plans with friends.
We’re thrilled that the Star Spangled Banner website has been named one of the top 10 websites of 2008 by the Interactive Media Awards!
The site, developed for the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, was awarded Best in Class for the Museum website category in 2008, placing it among the 36 nominees that represented sites with the highest scoring evaluations from among all Best in Class winners. We are honored to have been selected among an original entry pool of over 3,000 entries from 52 countries worldwide.
