Project Description:
Tiles Revisited is a web based simulation that revitalizes an ancient tile by re-imagining the way we can experience it online using Unity WebGL. The selected tile is a Syrian Damascus panel dated ca. 1430 from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 2009.59.2a–p. Resembling a labyrinth, a single tile will be transformed from a 2D image into an extruded 3D landscape that one can navigate and be immersed in. This style of linear storytelling looks to the future of archiving by inviting the world into an accessible interactive way of learning the history of a single ancient tile. The elements that serve to educate are audio docents and original soundtracks. This project was generously funded by the Ontario Arts Council and the Government of Ontario.

Audio:
Docent and original 360 soundtrack written, composed, designed and produced by Jawa El Khash
