CollectionCam situates carefully walled-off museum storage in the surrounding desert ecosystem. Live feeds monitor a static, mundane system of shelves, labels, paper and paint, comprising and protecting a collection of cultural artifacts, as the outside ecosystem grows harsher and more threatening. They watch and wait for a future where the walls break down.

PROJECT PARAMETERS established with Palm Springs Art Museum Collections
_the museum will choose the camera view and placement
_the live video stream will be accessible online
_collections staff can turn off the feed at any time
