Science Meets Art: Worlds Beyond the Eye
Bring something tiny and we will make it enormous!
Take a turn at the controls of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and travel across surface details too small for your eyes to see. Find strange landscapes in dust, dog hair, a butterfly wing or the object you bring with you. Hunt for clues. Hear the stories behind the specimens and imagine what other stories might begin there. Use the lines, shapes, textures and patterns you discover as starting points for printing, drawing, building and storytelling. Create a creature, object, place, pattern or something that has no name yet. Make work to take home and add your ideas to a giant shared world that will keep growing across the week.
Bring one tiny, clean, dry, safe and non-precious object to examine under the SEM.
