INTERACTIVE EXHIBITIONS / RESEARCH DOSSIER
Interactive Exhibitions.
Explore a question, not a spectacle.
Exhibitions combine diagrams, chronology, source extracts and interpretation in one guided investigation.
Narrative without inevitability
Curated pathways are useful but risk implying that technological history followed a predetermined route. Each exhibition should expose choices, failures and alternatives.
Graphics with accountable claims
Movement and visual emphasis never substitute for source strength. Exhibition labels cite the same underlying records that the text version uses.
A current micro-exhibition
Our inaugural five-node language-lineage exhibit shows why C++ has at least two different documented predecessors in its design story: C and Simula. Explore the interactive diagram from the homepage.
CONTRIBUTE A DOCUMENTED FINDING
Propose an exhibition with a research question, evidence register and an accessible text equivalent.
