Fabricated Realities: Color Dance (Clip)

Running Time:

Virtual Worlds are social spaces, music and dancing are ubiquitous, and so we made an exhibit that mixes a unique color for every avatar into a blend of colors when they dance together. Dancers can observe the blending of colors and think about the blending of genes that happens when they make children.

Scott Weaver has spent the last 35 years painstakingly constructing a replica of the city of San Francisco made of toothpicks! Not only that, but it is also a marble run, allowing ping-pong balls to take various tours through the city. His artwork will be on display in the Tinkering Studio at the Exploratorium until June 19th.
