In the ever-evolving landscape of museum experiences, the intersection of art and technology creates a realm of endless possibilities. At Solder we believe in the power of seamless integration, where technology enhances, but never overshadows, the essence of art. Our recent collaboration with Opal22 Arts and Edutainment and Vamplify Interactive Experience Design at the Leicester Museum & Art Gallery speaks to this ethos.
Enter the Casta Wall, a pioneering blend of historical context and interactive technology. Visitors could engage with the paintings in a new way. Through our carefully implemented light sensor technology, we allowed seamless interaction. Visitors could touch sensors discreetly placed on the wall, triggering detailed information about the paintings and their historical context. This subtle yet impactful interaction bridged the gap between history and modernity, inviting visitors to explore the exhibition’s depths at their own pace.
Every project presents its unique challenges, and the Casta Wall was no exception. One of the primary challenges was achieving a delicate balance between interactivity and preservation. We designed the light sensors to be unobtrusive and easy to install, ensuring they didn’t compromise the aesthetics of the museum space or the integrity of the paintings. This delicate harmony between innovation and preservation was key to the project’s success.
Another challenge was ensuring seamless integration. We collaborated closely with Vamplify, whose creative concept and animation expertise led to the visual appeal of the interactive experience. Our partnership exemplified the consultative approach we take with our clients, ensuring that every aspect of the project aligns seamlessly with the exhibition’s vision and objectives.
The Casta Wall project illuminated the myriad benefits of interactive technology in museum settings. By empowering visitors to engage actively with the exhibits, we fostered a deeper connection between the audience and the artworks. This heightened engagement encouraged a more profound understanding of the historical and cultural context, enriching the overall visitor experience.
For event producers, marketers, and arts and heritage professionals seeking innovative ways to elevate their exhibitions, the Casta Wall project demonstrates the potential of interactive technology.

At Solder Creative, we don’t just implement technology; we craft immersive experiences. Our journey with the Casta Wall project underscores our commitment to redefining museum interactions, one innovative solution at a time. Join us in exploring the endless possibilities where art and technology converge, creating experiences that resonate long after the museum visit concludes.
