A Garden of Complexity: Self-Organization in Nature

小姆克林9453037 探索馆将开发一个动手，互动，巡回展览“花园的复杂性：自组织的性质。" “使用花园的比喻（一个普遍欣赏的美丽和沉思的象征）”，并认为“科学的本质是从自然的复杂性中提取有组织的观察”，这个展览将允许参观者在安静的环境中观察一些自组织系统。 展览将是关于模式和自然世界如何出现在被认为是模式或组织的状态。 这个主题的四个子集将被探讨;组织成模式;表面效应-摩擦和流动;旋转，循环，漩涡和颗粒状态-物质的不同状态。 现有的和新的艺术品/活动将在本次展览中使用。 新增加的将由个人在探索的艺术家在居住计划。 他们的创作在美学和教育上都很有趣。 此外，展览设计者将试验展览口译的新技术，并将开展与正规教育挂钩的活动。 该展览将由科学技术中心协会在三年内在九个地点展出。 预计将达到250万人。

9453037 McLean The Exploratorium will develop a hands-on, interactive, traveling exhibit "Garden of Complexity: Self-Organization in Nature." "Using the metaphor of a garden (a universally appreciated symbol of beauty and contemplation)" and arguing "that the essence of science is to extract organized observations from the complexity of nature," this exhibit will allow visitors to observe some of the self-organizing systems in a quiet, contemplative environment. The exhibit will be about pattern and how the natural world emerges into states that are perceived as pattered or organized. Four sub-sets of this theme will be explored; organization into patterns; surface effects - rubbing and flow; rotation, circulation, vortices, and the granular state - a different state of matter. Both existing and new artworks/activities will be used in this exhibit. The new additions will be created by individuals in the Exploratorium's Artists-in-Residence program. Their creations are both aesthetically and educationally interesting. In addition, the exhibit developers will experiment with new techniques in exhibit interpretation and they will develop activities that provide linkages with formal education. The exhibit will be circulated by the Association of Science and Technology Centers to nine sites over a three year period. It is estimated that it will reach 2.5 million people.
