The Queen has opened the Science Museum’s new gallery with her first ever tweet.

“Information Age: Six Networks That Changed Our World” is the UK’s first permanent gallery dedicated to the history of information and communications technology. It spans 200 years of transformation, from electric telegraphy, broadcasting and telephony to satellite communications, the web and mobile voice and data networks.

ISO developed ‘The Cell’ one of six story boxes; specially commissioned installations from writers, technologists and digital designers. We collaborated with playwright Dawn King and Andrew Rice of Cambridge University to explore mobile connectivity. A series of character-led narratives provide snapshots of contemporary digital life. Visitors can connect to The Cell via their own phones to unlock enhanced content and add images, comments and take part in live polls; building up a live data record of the Gallery’s visitors.
