"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.
Custom House Grounds and Nationwide: Large Mixed Technology Activation- Holopod Edu-tainment activation will travel the country to give people around the nation the opportunity to connect with museum/event experiences on location. A HoloPod is a LED structure that boats dynamic light show and theatrics when in "show mode." The lower box is a reflective, mirror-like surface that lends to an inconspicuous design.
