The Renaissance Remix media interactive is installed in an exhibit of the same name and explores the Renaissance “spirit of change” through five major themes: portraiture, armor, music, worldly goods, and the power of the press.
The goal of the interactive was to make these themes come alive by featuring a contemporary person and a historic first-person narrative, based on an individual who lived during the Renaissance, with related interest for each theme. (The historic narratives are not available for web release.)
