Words

We built the Dimension Dome for the Glitch Fiction exhibition in Paris as part of Paris design week. Glitch Fiction, devised and curated by Nelly Ben Hayoun (www.nellyben.com) involved 13 artists/ designers inspired by science and technology producing work at the edge of science fiction and reality.

Our Dimension Dome was a participatory installation inviting the audience to consider both the microcosm and the macrocosm by crawling inside the geodesic dome, into their own private universe. The Dimension Dome is an accessible and lighthearted exploration of the wonders of quantum mechanics.
