Project: Getty Museum Bill Viola, The Passions

Title: Principal Web Project Manager, Tech Team Manager

Role: Tech lead, Video integration lead and project oversight team. The Getty Museum hosted an exhibition and commissioned new works from video artist, Bill Viola. The videos used ultra high-speed cameras to produce ultra slow motion video art. Being before wide roll-out of Broadband in home, getting these videos in quality form on the web was very difficult. Web video compression looks at successive frame and if the frames don’t change much, the video does not refresh. So our first tests at compressing the videos produced 5-8 minutes of a single still frame. Fortunately with the help of a video engineer, we were able to suitably encode the videos for web streaming.

Getty: Exhibition Zoom

Project: For the Getty Museum Exhibition, “Illuminating The Renaissance”, curators wanted a way to discuss very detailed manuscripts on the internet. We proposed a ground-breaking zoom and explore interface but lacked the technology. After extended research, Steven Swimmer connected with Zoomify and their new technology that was initially being used for medical and scientific imaging. Working with Zoomify, we accessed unreleased beta code that we were able to modify for this custom solution, working closely with our design and engineering teams.

Role: Technology management, business development with Zoomify, Zoom product management and technology innovation, project steering team. Working with internal design, integration and engineering.

Press: Positive press for this website and the zoom functionality included: Yahoo Pick of the Day, Macromedia Pick of the Day and Christian Science Monitor.
