footage

The big challenge of this project was to show the basic phenomena of science in a simple and straightforward way. In traditional museums, such content are usually shown in the table experiments, for experience of the phenomenon on an individual basis. In our case, this audience would bet thousands of people every day. We would have to work with another scale.
We started with the idea that scientist and child explore the phenomena of nature through experiments, but the child is playing. We developed a series of toys and equipment that used the principles of mechanics, optics, sound, astronomy and electricity. We did not use captions in the exhibition, only sign posts of the phenomena.
This project was in roaming over two years by SESC units.
