Exhibit: Timeline, Displays and Interactives
Venue: Bloorview Kids Rehab
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Date: Spring 2006
Client: Lord Cultural Resources
Contributors: Mystus (electronics, audio/video, fabrication, installation), Lord (design, project management)

Visitor Experience:
Several displays and interactive experiences were installed in the corridor leading to the pool off the main lobby. The purpose was to highlight the rich history and current activities of the centre. The flagship exhibit is the timeline, printed on fabric stretched over a metal frame. Installed low for wheelchair and children level access were two simple interactives - audio stories and symbolics. Further along the hallway are presentations of staff achievements, new technologies and programs, and a video of kids just being kids having overcome their disability.

Client's Requirements:
The exhibition is placed in a high profile area of the new building and required astute attention to aesthetic detail while fulfilling it's functional requirements.

Mystus Expertise:
This was a relatively small exhibition but required all the different elements of a larger show, from electronics development on to installation coordination. Mystus has a proven tracking and management system that carried the project through without surprises.

Unique Features:
The timeline, printed on fabric, was a new fabrication technique developed for this exhibition.

Project Challenges:
This was a rather small project as exhibitions go and it was implemented over more than a year. The biggest challenge beside the actual fabrication development of the fabric timeline, was to keep the project on budget over such a long development time without losing the richness of visitor experiences.
