"History is not the past; it is the present. We carry it with us" James Baldwin

 

The Custom House, the origin site for the Juneteenth Holiday, has challenged the core idea of the museum experience. This historic location is undergoing a digital transformation that expands its physical footprint onto a global stage. To execute this vision, a tech consortium (led by Rypplzz) will deploy a patented technology (InterLife + LightPlay Spatial Browser) that turns the air into a secure and intelligent environment. Each exhibit immerses and engages visitors by activating digital content at physical locations (on-site and offsite simultaneously). This dynamic technology breathes new life into the archives of history and sets it free to enable virtual access at any physical coordinate worldwide.
