A Series of Environmental Exhibits by Exploratorium Artists in Residence...

探索博物馆请求支持四位国家认可的装置艺术家开发具有科学意义的互动展览，以模拟波浪、云和流水的运动及其在地球表面上的相互作用。通过操纵或增强这些模拟的基本力量的行为，改变它们的规模或观察它们的角度，或者放慢或加快它们的自然过程，艺术家们可以带来通常不容易观察到的特征。参照其他探索博物馆展品，这些展品将构成流体运动物理和基本力相互作用展品的子集的中心。它们将作为探索物理条件的起点，这些条件可以导致并支持艺术家建模的自然现象。我们将开发两种不同的传播材料：1)面向博物馆专业人员的出版物，讨论如何使用艺术向公众展示科学。2)印刷指南，将在探索博物馆指定与环境有关的展品，介绍自然界中流体运动的各个方面。这些新的“路径”将为儿童而设，并将向参加实地考察的学生和公众开放。它们将与另外两个能源路径协调制作，并以题为“能源与环境”的包裹形式分发。

The Exploratorium requests support for four nationally recognized installation artists to develop scientifically relevant, interactive exhibits that will model the movements of waves, clouds, and flowing water and their interplay on and with the Earth's surface. By manipulating or enhancing the behavior of these simulated elemental forces, changing their scale or the perspective from which they are observed, or slowing down or speeding up their natural processes, the artists can bring out characteristics not easily observed, normally. Cross- referenced to other Exploratorium exhibits, these pieces will form the center of a subset of exhibits on the physics of fluid motion and the interaction of elemental forces. They will serve as a starting point for exploring the physical conditions that can cause and support the natural phenomena modeled by the artists. We will develop two different kinds of dissemination materials: 1) A publication for museum professionals, addressing the use of art in presenting science to the public. 2) Printed guides which will designate environmentally relevant exhibits at the Exploratorium dealing with aspects fluid movements in nature. These new "Pathways" will be intended for children and will be made available to students coming on Field Trips and the general public. They will be produced in coordination with two other Pathways on Energy and distributed in packets entitled "Energy and the Environment."
