A compilation of design-related web finds.

“...The abandoned Tremont Street Subway tunnel, which runs underneath Boston Common ... becomes a network of underground cultural venues, including a theater, a cinema, art galleries, and a ‘media-infused trolley museum.’” From the winning proposal for the SHIFTboston Ideas Competition | How Different Types of Museums Approach Participation, from Museum 2.0 | Aquarium Design: Top 10 Trends, from ObjectIDEA | Easy=True (link no longer available) | Museum admissions tabs: part ticket, part souvenir; Tag, You're It! | ExhibitFiles has launched a new “Bits” feature | A Parallel Image light installation at Transmediale, the festival for art and digital culture in Berlin; “an electronic camera obscura ... media-archaeological, interactive sculpture.” Your guess as to what that means is probably better than mine | “Four days into the show, sufficient personal injury had been incurred — with ambulances being called in and a first aid unit being erected inside the Tate — that the Director, Norman Reid, decided to close the exhibition.” Neo Classic at the Tate, 1971.
