Lincoln Castle re-opened its doors this month following a £22m four-year long renovation. Visitors can discover more about the history of the castle and the justice system of Victorian England with a series of media installations and interactives by ISO.

We have created a series of bold, expressionistic ‘Prisoner Stories’ films based on real inmates’ lives that are projected into individual cells to create a promenade experience. A series of multitaction touch tables reveal the journals of the people who managed the prison alongside a series of graphic films projected throughout the building. A 3D topographic model of the site uses video-mapped animation to show key stages over 1000 years of development.

We worked with a group of talented collaborators with composer Andy Cowton creating the music and sound for the prisoner stories, director Tim Niel the character performances and photographer Manuel Vazquez to create a series of reconstructed historical scenes used across the interactive tables.
