The gallery exhibited over 200 films that showed type in motion such as title sequences, colour tests and kinetic typography art.
Honestly, I found the exhibition content to be fairly stuffy, but the way it was presented was really interesting. I found Gallery 2 the most creative: one part allowed the user to create their own playlists of films using a touch screen system not designed in a grid like format, but radial, like a wheel.
The other was an interactive video using a Leap Motion system. I really wish I could do something like that for my final exhibition, though it's quite far fetched, I may punch in a google search or two to find out how it's done. It's something that could be used in museums and theme parks, and is fun to engage with.
I managed to find a video of the exhibition so you can get a better look at what I was talking about:

OK, Google search punched - this Leap Motion system really does have a lot of potential. I'm really interested in the Themed Entertainment sector, which concerns design through storytelling and experiences of the user, so something like this would be really good for my final show:
The video is really interesting, I get the impression that this isn't something that could replace the mouse or the trackpad currently, and there are many 1-star reviews on amazon at the moment:

...suggesting the product is still in it's infancy. It would be great to have something like this for my final show, but not sure if I'm willing to spend the money on it just yet ... further investigation is required I think.
