9. „In 1997, in a competition for MoMA in New York, we proposed
for the first time a view-on-demand system for artworks.
Individual visitors, with individual desires, could see the museum
potentially more as an archive of things than a place where the
voice of curator is paramount. The idea was not only about
generating unique personal experiences of particular artworks; it
was about merging storage and display in one integrated system.
When you see some of the work in any museums storage
facilities, it is a crying shame that they are not accessible to
public.“
Rem Koolhaas
