Aperture Lucida

Friday, February 21–Sunday, May 3, 2020

Experience the delight of illusion in this new work by artist and inventor Tristan Duke. Upon first encounter, Aperture Lucida presents as a blank, monolithic cube centered in a large white space. As you approach, a holographic ball of light appears, unexpectedly exploding and dissolving as you walk into it.

Celebrating Sun Swarm

Saturday, March 21, 2020 • 11:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.

In anticipation of lengthening days, we’re celebrating light with two programs inspired by one of the Exploratorium’s public artworks, Sun Swarm. Catch a film, walk with shadows, and marvel at the Sun’s reflections.
