Exhibition Description Educational & Technical Elements Price

We designed and built the two 3-Finger Robot Arms (which appeared in several scenes with the scientist of the future), for the 2007 sci-fi family movie "The Last Mimzy", a Newline Cinema, Avery Pix, and Hanna Rachael Production, film; And Designed and built two 3-Finger Robot Arms, controls and power supplied for the traveling show "Robots; the Interactive Exhibition", that is based on the movie "Robots" by 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studio, which was funded by Ford Motor Company and has been touring for four years under very demanding conditions with very dependable results. We collaborated with Becker Group and Chicago Scenic Studios to provide two of the robotic activities for the exhibition. The exhibition received the 2007 THEA Award for Outstanding Museum Touring Exhibitions. The press has commented that our part of the exhibition is by far the most popular exhibit presented.

Exhibition Description

1- Entrance Sign; for Exhibition Area. 8’ long.

2- Kiosk “Making Of The Exhibition”; with a 20” monitor and DVD that shows the making of the exhibition including details regarding the fabrication of many components. Footprint 30” x 42”.

3- Photonic Spectrum; This exhibit utilizes a series of IR. emitters and detectors along with photo resistors to control a complex sound synthesizer. The sound synthesizer consist of two oscillators which work in unison by resonating at specific intervals dependent on the signals from the sensors. One or two people can operate it at a time. To use the exhibit a visitor needs to gesture with their hands between the columns. Depending on the position of their hands the exhibit can produce sounds ranging from the high frequency range and down to a low rumbling bass. The exhibit demonstrates sound synthesis, sensors and light control. The overall size is approximately 72” high by 36” wide by 33” deep.

4- Light Controlled Sound Spectrum; Slowly bring your hand down over a black disk. When you get close to it, it will trigger lights and sounds. Each black disk triggers a different tone or when triggered in combination will produce much deeper tones. How it works! The device in the center of each black disk is a photoresister. It is connected to a circuit which turns on a light and an oscillator which produces a sound. The photoresistor is coated with light sensitive chemicals that conduct more electricity when exposed to light and less electricity when denied light. They are used in automatic light controls, parts counters, light probes for the blind, and many other devices.

5- Touch Spectrum; This exhibit is a touch switch controlled sound synthesizer. Touch switch technology is used to allow devices to be turned on and off without using conventional mechanical switches which are prone to break-downs. This exhibit works by transmitting an extremely small amount of low voltage and low amperage from one plate to another when you provide the pathway by touching it. This amount is so minuscule that it is untraceable by conventional voltage meters. The human body is comprised of water and a number of electrically conductive elements including - but not limited to - metals; such as Iron, Copper, Zinc and Magnesium. In the case of this exhibit - semi-conductor devices provide the means to operate the device with only a whisper of electricity. This electricity is derived via a solar cell placed in close proximity to an incandescent bulb within the case, thereby assuring an isolated power source for safe human interface. Directions: Place one hand on each metal plate and the Touch Spectrum will react by creating sounds and light patterns. Or place one hand on a metal plate and have another person place one of their hands on the other plate and then touch each of your remaining hands together. The exhibit is approximately 5' diameter and 58" high.

6- Robotic Infinity Machine; A robotic electronic sculpture with floating spheres, rolling spheres, LED illuminated columns and many kinetic elements. Spheres are used as the catalyst for what transpires as they move from the top of the case to the base of the display area while going through many interesting and highly visual elements. Among other things the spheres are passed by three robot arms, rolled down a series of rails, put on a beveled disk that is part of the central column, roll through and trigger a number of electronic and mechanical effects and elements. A visually stunning and very unique robotic sculpture. The exhibit is 8ft diameter.

7- Ark Of Infinity; A walk through (or roll through as in the case of wheelchairs) sculpture that is approximately 9 ft high, 12 ft wide, with a 6 ft wide interior. Interactive electronics, Braille detailing, solar power & metal etched multicultural poetry. The concept is to allow the viewer to become part of the art as they pass through it's center and experience the sounds and illumination of the faceted interior. This attribute is further accented by the sensors which allow the art to react to different people by creating various sound and light patterns depending on the individual's stature, their sounds & what they touch. The sculpture is a futuristic piece which represents cultural unity and diversity while relating to people regardless of disability. The acrylic crystalline segments on the interior & exterior are illuminated by numerous super bright LED's which are controlled by PC boards inside the exhibit. Under natural illumination the segments create rainbow patterns as they are faceted at refractory angles. The metalwork is aluminum, brass & bronze segments that have been decoratively finished or detailed with embossed relief. The top of the sculpture has built-in solar panels that charge the unit during natural illumination periods. This sculpture is an example of alternative energy, sensory inputs & reactionary effects in electronic systems, conductivity, timing & randomizing theory, visual & wave length specific electromagnetic emissions, photons, sound synthesis, frequency & amplitude, & acoustics.

8- Spectral Chime; a 5' high electromechanical electronic sculpture featuring four remotely actuated gongs with rear mounted strikers. When the strikers are triggered, the electronic attribute reacts to the sound and produces shimmering light patterns through a series of super bright LED's placed across the sculpture. This sculpture is an example of sensory inputs and reactionary effects in electronic systems, conductivity, electromagnetic effects, force & leverage, visual & wave length specific electromagnetic emissions, photons, sound, frequency & amplitude. Footprint 36" x 36".

9- Omnisphere; an interactive, glacial, floor standing 5.5' sculpture featuring a transparent sculptural form with a series of lathe turned aluminum mountings that connect to a number of decorative tubing members. Additional details of the sculpture are done in bronze and blackened copper. The acrylic crystalline segments on the sculpture are illuminated by numerous super bright LED's which are controlled by a PC board inside the exhibit. The light and sounds it creates are influenced by the sounds, lights and shadows surrounding the sculpture. It can use solar energy via remote panels. Footprint 36" x 36".

10- Utopia Rising (an indoor, smaller version of the original Urban sculpture); an electronic, interactive sculpture, featuring solar energy, electronics, color changing and light patterns, sound and reactionary effects combined with a sculptural form and Braille detailing. A boldly designed sculpture that presents an otherworldly quality. Most of it's exterior is comprised of a grayish silver granular finish set against a montage of illuminated abstracted segments and a slick black council with bronze detailing. The sculpture is designed to react to it's environment through interpreting sounds, shadows and light. The electronics in it's interior are designed to respond to their surroundings by creating sounds and light patterns. The acrylic crystalline segments on the exterior are illuminated by numerous super bright LED's which are controlled by a number of PC boards inside the exhibit. This sculpture is an example of alternative energy, sensory inputs and reactionary effects in electronic systems, timing and randomizing theory, visual & wave length specific electromagnetic emissions, photons, sound synthesis, frequency & amplitude, and acoustics. Footprint 8' x 8', 15.5' feet tall.

11- 4 Graphic Panels; graphics include; "Electronic Parts & Symbols", naming many key components and how they work; "Electronic Terms & Projects", covering safety issues, terms, relations and simple projects you can do at home; "Sound, Light & Optics"; and "Frequency, Waves & Resonance".
