Cool Moves! The Artistry of Motion, latest traveling exhibit at ECHO, opens on Saturday September 14 and will be at the aquarium through January 6, 2013. More information here: http://www.echovermont.org/exhibits/coolmoves.html
The exhibit is FREE with admission to ECHO.
The phenomenon of motion can be characterized by simple types of contrasting movements: translation/rotation, continuous/vibrating, and predictable/unpredictable. Within these types of motion a variety of patterns can be seen, sounds can be produced, and art can be created.
In 15 exhibits, visitors are invited to experiment with motion by:
Swinging a giant magnetic pendulum through a field of magnets to investigate the unpredictability of chaotic motion;
---Playing with light and water to form patterns of reflection and refraction in the Ripple Tank;
---Changing the direction and speed of a tornado made of swirling misty water;
---Creating their own light and sound show as they trigger motion detectors using the movement of their bodies;
---Racing cars down a retractable ramp; and much more.
Cool Moves! Artistry of Motion was developed by the Rochester Museum & Science Center, in Rochester, New York, as part of the TEAMS (Traveling Exhibits at Museums of Science) Collaborative, with major funding from the National Science Foundation.
