Documentary short
During several trips to Europe in the 1920s, two young American friends discover the exciting wave of change that is sweeping the design world.
Philip Johnson (architect emeritus) and Alfred Barr (first director of MoMa in New York) witness the advent and rise of modernist architecture and design. The exhibition tells how these visionaries helped initiate the modernist wave in America that would forever change the course of design on the new continent.

To successfully tell this story with archival material, the challenge was to create stereoscopic audiovisual elements that would evoke the spaces and places associated with the furniture and objects on display. This was one of the very first museum uses of glasses-free, autostereoscopic screens.
