REF Museum is now online!

 












nine99's special project, REF, is now open! (www.refmuseum.com)

REF- Museum of References, is an online archive of references and influences between different fields and media.

The site is an extension of a final project in graphic design studies.The project was creating a corporate identity for a new conceptual museum in New York City that focuses exclusively on references and influences. Due to the museum’s research and educational nature, the graphic language was derived from Info-graphics, especially diagrams. since the premise is that everything is connected to each other by quotations or influences, the diagram was created in the shape of the relevant image while specifying the different art works or creators that are linked to the subject, thus adding another didactic layer to it.































After receiving positive feedback and ongoing interest, the simple conclusion was that the only way to movie this idea forward, is online. REF’s intention is to create a well known, constantly updating, online database of cultural references. It allows users to  enjoy both  learning about references and share their own foundlings so that other might learn. Users are encourage to write to us and tell us about interesting allusions and quotations until hopefully will get to the point where the site will be completely user managed.
