BB at the ACMI Melbourne

[bleachy_dude]

I spent the weekend enjoying the culture of Melbourne that my home city of Sydney is so sorely lacking!

Anyway, trip through the Australian Center for the Moving Image and I happened upon a small Big Brother exhibit. It really has had such an impact on Television.

Pics...

The exhibit with a tv screen behind running through various clips from 2001-2008:

The 2008 house plan modeled to scale:

Lol I had no idea. I went into the ACMI to see the dreamworks exhibition. Just happened to stumble upon this small find on my way through the free television exhibition on my way out

it found you, fate

such an odd thing, i wouldn't think of it being an exhibit, but you just proved it is

I shit bricks when I walked in there a couple years ago and saw it. A nice little piece of Australian TV history on display.

How wicked is that,
I find it a odd choice to use that house.
They should of used 05 or even 03. With the wall between the houses

At the time that part of the exhibit was installed, 2008 was the latest season.

It's about time they update the exhibit.

It's about time they update the exhibit.

I don't think they've really updated any of the older features since they were installed. Plus, it's a free exhibit, so it'll be at the bottom of the funding foodchain.

How was the Dreamworks exhibit, by the way? I went to the Tim Burton one a few years back and they set it up really well...
