Uzumea — 3D Exhibitions in the Browser
I founded and lead Uzumea, an independent platform that makes exhibition-making accessible, including to people without 3D-modeling experience. A collection, a research project or a course becomes a room anyone can visit on a phone or a computer, with credits, sources and rights beside every work, and every picture open in Mirador through IIIF.
Uzumea is open to everyone on the web: registration is free, in English, Chinese, Japanese and French. Apps for iPhone and Android are in testing. Museums, galleries, archives and universities can join with institutional accounts.

After Nanjing: Japanese Art, Memory, and Responsibility in Transnational Perspective
A transnational art-historical project examining how Japanese artists and cultural producers have represented Nanjing from the interwar period to the present. Through corpus building, archival research, and a pilot digital exhibition, the project investigates artistic engagements with wartime violence in Asia and questions of historical memory and responsibility.
