The Warp and Weft of Memory

The Warp and Weft of Memory is a poetic archive documenting and expanding on the life and work of Dutch artist Gisèle d'Ailly van Waterschoot van der Gracht.

From the growing collection of images, texts, objects, stories and spaces surrounding Gisèle, we weaved an interface to read, browse and discover the details and categorisations within. The immensity of information and its variety of formats made us dive deep on ways to guide the user while, at the same time, allowing the space for wander and discovery.

The final hybrid interface draws from online catalogues as well as text adventure games, in weaving chapters together along with related information gathered from the Semantic MediaWiki backend.
