The Ecology Center is an environmental education center in San Juan Capistrano, California. They hired Perry Garvin Studio to redesign their website to present an intuitive interface for accessing the Center's array of programs.

The New Museum of Contemporary Art's Digital Archive presents thousands of images, videos, and recordings from its over 30 year history. Perry Garvin Studio worked with the New Museum to construct its digital archive metadata scheme and apply it to thousands of objects. We then designed a website for the public to access this content.

The New Museum used CollectiveAccess, an open source software package, to manage their archival collection. Perry Garvin Studio worked closely with Whirl-i-Gig, the developers of CollectiveAccess, to implement a new public-facing user interface which was subsequently folded into future releases.

The New Museum Digital archive will be launching soon. Click on the thumbnails below for selected screenshots.

The High Line is a public park built on a 1.45-mile-long elevated rail structure on Manhattan's West Side. Perry Garvin Studio designed the park's website to complement its grand opening in 2009.

Our client, Friends of the High Line (FHL), needed to present an array of content including park information, event listings, and store items. Taking cues from project architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, we extended The High Line's modern, functional design into the web experience.

"The Generational: Younger Than Jesus" was an exhibition of contemporary art by artists under the age of 33. Perry Garvin Studio designed a blog to enable the museum's curators to post additional information about the show.

The artists' names create the background graphic. Bright pink accents suggest an 80s feel - appropriate to the era in which these artists grew up.

Over a six-week period at the New Museum in New York, British artist Jeremy Deller invited journalists, Iraqi refugees, soldiers, and scholars to share their memories of the last decade in and out of Iraq. The exhibition was titled "It Is What It Is: Conversations About Iraq." Perry Garvin Studio designed and developed a calendar for museum patrons to keep track of the speaker schedule. Color-coding indicates the type of speaker and pop-up boxes show more information without navigating the user away from the main calendar.

“After Nature" was an exhibition of art engaged in post-apocalyptic themes. Perry Garvin Studio concepted, designed, and implemented an accompanying "experiential website" that sought to infuse a haunting sense of mystery to the exhibition.

Clarity of information was intentionally subordinated to produce a sense of disorientation and dread. A "lo-fi" design was adopted to locate the site's creation in a dystopic future where technological progress had been abandoned.

“Paul Chan: The 7 Lights" was an exhibition at the New Museum presenting recent work by New York artist Paul Chan. Perry Garvin Studio designed and implemented an exhibition website to present supplemental information about the artist: drawings, videos, audio clips, and texts related to the show.

GET LOST is a collective portrait of downtown New York. Twenty-one international artists were invited to create a personal view of the city and draw a map of downtown New York. The maps were collected in a fanzine publication that was distributed for free.
