Interior view of The Cabinet's exhibition space, where two floor-to-ceiling panels showcase artworks across a range of media and subject matters, from solo and group portraits, to photographs and poster designs. A projector screen between them enlarges one of the paintings with the prompt, 'This small ink spot could be anything. Tell us what you think it is!'. Two people interact with the digital panel in front of the paintings, and benches line the walls behind them.

Installation view of a row of three large panels. The central panel shows a projection of a green and blue screen with a search box. The panels on the left and right display assortments of six to seven paintings, posters, and photographs of different sizes. In front of the three panels is a low barrier, to which are attached several iPads. Two adults and three young children investigate the screens, while a woman wearing a black jacket with the word 'M+' emblazoned on the back.
