Living With Hurricanes: Katrina and Beyond
Katrina Exhibit Opens in Louisiana State Museum
Combining eyewitness accounts, historical context, immersive environments and in-depth scientific exploration, 'Katrina and Beyond' enables visitors to understand the 2005 storms, Katrina and Rita, and their impact on Louisiana, the Gulf Coast and the nation. It is a story of how a culture - the rich, varied world of New Orleans and coastal Louisiana - has learned to live with the fragility of its environment and how the storms of 2005 gave rise to a new vision for the region.
When it hit southeastern Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast on the morning of August 29, 2005, the storm caused fearsome destruction. But the disaster wasn't entirely the result of natural causes. Levees and floodwalls - the man-made barriers built to protect New Orleans from the water surrounding it - failed. Their collapse in a dozen or more locations, plus tidal surges from the the low-lying eastern edge of New Orleans, flooded 80 percent of the city. By the time the waters receded and the survivors regrouped, Katrina, and then Hurricane Rita, had claimed more than 1,400 lives and caused billions of dollars worth of property destruction.
Designed by the Boston-based firm ExperienceDesign that worked with the Museum's historians, curators and exhibit designers, 'Living with Hurricanes' stretches across four galleries, each telling one aspect of the story using artifacts and rich media - sound, video and computer graphics.
Gallery One illustrates Louisiana's history with water, from the Mississippi River's benefits to the threats of coastal storm surges and floods. Visitors will move through the 'Evacuation Corridor,' overhearing residents' voices weighing their options as Katrina approaches. A state of the art 'Storm Theater' shows Katrina's full fury with moving and dramatic footage of the hurricane's onslaught.
Gallery Two takes visitors past a leaking floodwall and into an attic and onto a roof of a house surrounded by rising floodwaters where they can view the inundated city surrounding them. They'll hear a firsthand account of a St. Bernard Parish family's rescue and view artifacts, histories and photographs.
Throughout the galleries are compelling artifacts, including music legend Fats Domino's baby grand piano found in his flooded Ninth Ward house, a Coast Guard rescue basket and seats from the heavily damaged Louisiana Superdome where thousands of people sought refuge and rescue. The objects serve as touchstones in recalling the days after the storm.
The forensics of Katrina unfold in Gallery Three where science and innovative displays come together. A large interactive table map shows the paths of Katrina and Rita and the sequence of floods that overwhelmed the region. Visitors will discover how the levees failed through digital animation. Additional displays illustrate the realities of eroding wetlands, disaster management, engineering and the science of predicting and tracking hurricanes and tropical weather patterns and phenomena.
Gallery Four celebrates recovery and promotes preparedness and showcases the ingenuity of Louisianans in rebuilding their lives and communities. The gallery will be updated regularly to reflect advancements in flood protection and coastal restoration and new strategies for living with hurricanes.
In addition to the running videos throughout the exhibit there will be interviews with a number of key individuals who had a part in the rescue and recovery efforts, including National Guard Commander Gen. Russel Honore whose troops helped restore order after a week of chaos.

Living With Hurricanes: Katrina and Beyond
Katrina Exhibit Opens in Louisiana State Museum
Combining eyewitness accounts, historical context, immersive environments and in-depth scientific exploration, 'Katrina and Beyond' enables visitors to understand the 2005 storms, Katrina and Rita, and their impact on Louisiana, the Gulf Coast and the nation. It is a story of how a culture - the rich, varied world of New Orleans and coastal Louisiana - has learned to live with the fragility of its environment and how the storms of 2005 gave rise to a new vision for the region.
When it hit southeastern Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast on the morning of August 29, 2005, the storm caused fearsome destruction. But the disaster wasn't entirely the result of natural causes. Levees and floodwalls - the man-made barriers built to protect New Orleans from the water surrounding it - failed. Their collapse in a dozen or more locations, plus tidal surges from the the low-lying eastern edge of New Orleans, flooded 80 percent of the city. By the time the waters receded and the survivors regrouped, Katrina, and then Hurricane Rita, had claimed more than 1,400 lives and caused billions of dollars worth of property destruction.
Designed by the Boston-based firm ExperienceDesign that worked with the Museum's historians, curators and exhibit designers, 'Living with Hurricanes' stretches across four galleries, each telling one aspect of the story using artifacts and rich media - sound, video and computer graphics.
Gallery One illustrates Louisiana's history with water, from the Mississippi River's benefits to the threats of coastal storm surges and floods. Visitors will move through the 'Evacuation Corridor,' overhearing residents' voices weighing their options as Katrina approaches. A state of the art 'Storm Theater' shows Katrina's full fury with moving and dramatic footage of the hurricane's onslaught.
Gallery Two takes visitors past a leaking floodwall and into an attic and onto a roof of a house surrounded by rising floodwaters where they can view the inundated city surrounding them. They'll hear a firsthand account of a St. Bernard Parish family's rescue and view artifacts, histories and photographs.
Throughout the galleries are compelling artifacts, including music legend Fats Domino's baby grand piano found in his flooded Ninth Ward house, a Coast Guard rescue basket and seats from the heavily damaged Louisiana Superdome where thousands of people sought refuge and rescue. The objects serve as touchstones in recalling the days after the storm.
The forensics of Katrina unfold in Gallery Three where science and innovative displays come together. A large interactive table map shows the paths of Katrina and Rita and the sequence of floods that overwhelmed the region. Visitors will discover how the levees failed through digital animation. Additional displays illustrate the realities of eroding wetlands, disaster management, engineering and the science of predicting and tracking hurricanes and tropical weather patterns and phenomena.
Gallery Four celebrates recovery and promotes preparedness and showcases the ingenuity of Louisianans in rebuilding their lives and communities. The gallery will be updated regularly to reflect advancements in flood protection and coastal restoration and new strategies for living with hurricanes.
In addition to the running videos throughout the exhibit there will be interviews with a number of key individuals who had a part in the rescue and recovery efforts, including National Guard Commander Gen. Russel Honore whose troops helped restore order after a week of chaos.

Visitors will move through the 'Evacuation Corridor,' overhearing residents' voices weighing their options as Katrina approaches. A state of the art 'Storm Theater' shows Katrina's full fury with moving and dramatic footage of the hurricane's onslaught.
Gallery Two takes visitors past a leaking floodwall and into an attic and onto a roof of a house surrounded by rising floodwaters where they can view the inundated city surrounding them. They'll hear a firsthand account of a St. Bernard Parish family's rescue and view artifacts, histories and photographs.
Throughout the galleries are compelling artifacts, including music legend Fats Domino's baby grand piano found in his flooded Ninth Ward house, a Coast Guard rescue basket and seats from the heavily damaged Louisiana Superdome where thousands of people sought refuge and rescue. The objects serve as touchstones in recalling the days after the storm.
The forensics of Katrina unfold in Gallery Three where science and innovative displays come together. A large interactive table map shows the paths of Katrina and Rita and the sequence of floods that overwhelmed the region. Visitors will discover how the levees failed through digital animation. Additional displays illustrate the realities of eroding wetlands, disaster management, engineering and the science of predicting and tracking hurricanes and tropical weather patterns and phenomena.
Gallery Four celebrates recovery and promotes preparedness and showcases the ingenuity of Louisianans in rebuilding their lives and communities. The gallery will be updated regularly to reflect advancements in flood protection and coastal restoration and new strategies for living with hurricanes.
In addition to the running videos throughout the exhibit there will be interviews with a number of key individuals who had a part in the rescue and recovery efforts, including National Guard Commander Gen. Russel Honore whose troops helped restore order after a week of chaos.

Living With Hurricanes: Katrina and Beyond
Katrina Exhibit Opens in Louisiana State Museum
Combining eyewitness accounts, historical context, immersive environments and in-depth scientific exploration, 'Katrina and Beyond' enables visitors to understand the 2005 storms, Katrina and Rita, and their impact on Louisiana, the Gulf Coast and the nation. It is a story of how a culture - the rich, varied world of New Orleans and coastal Louisiana - has learned to live with the fragility of its environment and how the storms of 2005 gave rise to a new vision for the region.
When it hit southeastern Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast on the morning of August 29, 2005, the storm caused fearsome destruction. But the disaster wasn't entirely the result of natural causes. Levees and floodwalls - the man-made barriers built to protect New Orleans from the water surrounding it - failed. Their collapse in a dozen or more locations, plus tidal surges from the the low-lying eastern edge of New Orleans, flooded 80 percent of the city. By the time the waters receded and the survivors regrouped, Katrina, and then Hurricane Rita, had claimed more than 1,400 lives and caused billions of dollars worth of property destruction.

I – Input, P – Process, O – Output, cle – Cycle
IPOcle is an installation simulating the way we perceive the reality that exist in
our physical world and the various layers, variables, cycles that are present in this
process of perceiving. With the senses that we have, we can perceive only a limited
portion of the physical reality that surrounds us. This perceived physicality keeps
altering as it goes through many layers and processes (biological and psychological)
in our brains. These perceptions draw our perceptual schemas and these schemas in
turn shape the reality we perceive. Our perceptions and what we perceive, therefore,
constantly reshape call each other into being, as in a vicious cycle. At this point, how
can we define what reality really is, what constant can we refer to, and aren’t we
supposed to look at this issue in a more holistic and intertwined manner?
The IPOCle is made of a strong light source, lenses, a convex mirror, a fog machine
and a sound system; installed inside a dark container. The light source is located
so that the goes through the lenses, hung one after another. The refracted light
reaches the mirror. The convex mirror transforms the light and reflects it back. The
fog machine keeps running to make the dispersed light visible for us; while a base
frequency keeps running in the background.
The light and the light source describe physical reality and input / The lenses: The process and various
factors of perception / The mirror: What is perceived, the output and the cycle.

Visitors will move through the 'Evacuation Corridor,' overhearing residents' voices weighing their options as Katrina approaches. A state of the art 'Storm Theater' shows Katrina's full fury with moving and dramatic footage of the hurricane's onslaught.
Gallery Two takes visitors past a leaking floodwall and into an attic and onto a roof of a house surrounded by rising floodwaters where they can view the inundated city surrounding them. They'll hear a firsthand account of a St. Bernard Parish family's rescue and view artifacts, histories and photographs.
Throughout the galleries are compelling artifacts, including music legend Fats Domino's baby grand piano found in his flooded Ninth Ward house, a Coast Guard rescue basket and seats from the heavily damaged Louisiana Superdome where thousands of people sought refuge and rescue. The objects serve as touchstones in recalling the days after the storm.
The forensics of Katrina unfold in Gallery Three where science and innovative displays come together. A large interactive table map shows the paths of Katrina and Rita and the sequence of floods that overwhelmed the region. Visitors will discover how the levees failed through digital animation. Additional displays illustrate the realities of eroding wetlands, disaster management, engineering and the science of predicting and tracking hurricanes and tropical weather patterns and phenomena.
Gallery Four celebrates recovery and promotes preparedness and showcases the ingenuity of Louisianans in rebuilding their lives and communities. The gallery will be updated regularly to reflect advancements in flood protection and coastal restoration and new strategies for living with hurricanes.
In addition to the running videos throughout the exhibit there will be interviews with a number of key individuals who had a part in the rescue and recovery efforts, including National Guard Commander Gen. Russel Honore whose troops helped restore order after a week of chaos.

Living With Hurricanes: Katrina and Beyond
Katrina Exhibit Opens in Louisiana State Museum
Combining eyewitness accounts, historical context, immersive environments and in-depth scientific exploration, 'Katrina and Beyond' enables visitors to understand the 2005 storms, Katrina and Rita, and their impact on Louisiana, the Gulf Coast and the nation. It is a story of how a culture - the rich, varied world of New Orleans and coastal Louisiana - has learned to live with the fragility of its environment and how the storms of 2005 gave rise to a new vision for the region.
When it hit southeastern Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast on the morning of August 29, 2005, the storm caused fearsome destruction. But the disaster wasn't entirely the result of natural causes. Levees and floodwalls - the man-made barriers built to protect New Orleans from the water surrounding it - failed. Their collapse in a dozen or more locations, plus tidal surges from the the low-lying eastern edge of New Orleans, flooded 80 percent of the city. By the time the waters receded and the survivors regrouped, Katrina, and then Hurricane Rita, had claimed more than 1,400 lives and caused billions of dollars worth of property destruction.
