Context

All though we are working individually, we still needed to decide the theme for the Ruskin Hall so our final pieces could be combined into one attraction. After all day of thinking we came up with a lot of suggestions, but we needed only one and this is it :

This is the story produced through the brainstorming session in class. Students decided on the following as a context for a future museum at Ruskin Hall.

(a) We have concluded that our building in the distant future exists as a museum.

(b) Its name (pending) is: The Ruskin Experience, the fall of the Niksurites

(c) It is said that in it’s time Ruskin Hall had a lot more going on than just your average art school. In 2013, a scandal took over the news for months as police and journalists unraveled evidence that students from the art and design course were running a secret sect called Niksurites (derives from ‘Ruskin’ in reverse).

Inside, investigators found secret spaces, objects, visual material and accounts of the events that took place…

A museum has now been created in the year 3089 where visitors can experience what it was like being part of the sect 1,076 years ago. Time has blurred truth from fiction and many stories have been told since…what is true and what isn’t still remains a mystery.
