Polyhedra (2010) by Stacy Speyer
Speyer created large sculptural metal shapes suspended in midair that were designed to be handled and explored. (Geometry Playground exhibition, funded by the National Science Foundation)
Drawing in Circles (2010) by Tauba Auerbach
Auerbach created a large drawing exhibit that encourages full-arm motions as the gears sweep around and create patterns of loops. This artwork allows visitors to take home a record of their actions. (Geometry Playground exhibition, funded by the National Science Foundation)
Research and Development Related to Core Sampling (Tick Tock), Iris and Gerald B. Cantor Arts Center (2009) by Terry Berlier
Berlier, a recipient of the Irvine Foundation’s 2009 Visions from a New California grant, brought a series of tube-like artificial “core samples” meant to highlight the patterns in both history and nature that individuals and society may contribute to. At the Exploratorium, she conceived of a way to add interactive sound components to these cores. The results were later displayed at the Stanford Cantor Arts Center.
Coagulation and Origin (2009) by Adam Hathaway
Hathaway created two works for the Seeing Gallery’s 3x3 + 1 exhibition. Coagulation challenged the function of chandeliers to indicate high social status or class; Origin addressed the human struggle to understand the universe as it is perceived at any one time. (Seeing Gallery Resident Artist)
Prismatic Coalescence (2009) by Jessica Miller
As part of the 3x3 + 1 Seeing Gallery exhibition, Miller created an installation that utilized videos to challenge the idea of “interactive” experiences; invisible hands brought past and present Exploratorium exhibits to life. Her process was further documented through the display of drawings generated by the patterned movement of her studio props. (Seeing Gallery Resident Artist)
Geometron (2009) by John Edmark
In conjunction with the Exploratorium’s Geometry Playground exhibition, which explores geometry from a physical perspective, Edmark created a polyhedral kaleidoscope, the result of rigorous mathematical precision. The kaleidoscope incorporates a live video feed to inspire and facilitate direct interaction and geometric exploration. (Seeing Gallery Resident Artist)
