Description
The subject-matter of the work is the temporary exhibition What Drives the World? Great Scientists and Their Discoveries. The exhibition is designed on a square plan with 20 m × 16 m dimensions, and the total area is 320 m². The aim of the design was to create an exhibition space that would present the greatest discoveries in physics and chemistry in an interesting way. It will provide visitors with knowledge about life and learning process of selected scientists, as well as their struggle in pursuing their goal. From a large group of researchers, thirteen scientists who had considerably influenced the course of history and changed the perception of the world were selected. The aim of the exhibition is to show complicated scientific issues in an understandable and vivid manner, so that persons of every age could understand the issues being presented.
The composition of the exhibition consists of independent stands forming an open arrangement. The dynamic form portrays the development of science as an intellectual process shaped by many individuals over the centuries. The dominant elements are three large-sized spheres around which smaller exhibits have been designed. Separate spaces describe individual phenomena and their discoverers. The design utilises the repetitive motif of a sphere cut at various angles. The colour arrangement of the exhibition is based on shades of grey combined with deep dark blue. The whole design is complemented with metallic accents imitating the structure of rust. Metal subjected to erosion symbolises the lapse of time in the world of science.
In the Nicholas Copernicus zone the significance of the discovery of the heliocentric theory is shown. An artistic installation picturing the motionless Sun has been designed in the centre, with orbits of planets circling around it. The trajectory of the Earth and neighbouring Mars is depicted on the walls of the sphere. The slidable planets reflect the movement of celestial bodies. The elements were made of metal imitating the uneven surface of the globes. Within the same zone theses formulated by Johannes Kepler, who researched geometries of the universe, are described. Around the zone there is a separate space devoted to discoveries made by Archimedes and Niels Bohr. The contents presented on multimedia screens installed on free-standing displays help to understand the law of buoyancy and the structure of an atom. Selected illustrations and contents are presented on the external side of large-sized spheres.
The space dedicated to Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison illustrates the difference between direct current and alternating current. The changeable nature of the orderly motion of electric charges is shown in the form of an installation waving in two planes, with the motion subsiding at its ends. In order to light up, the designed educational stand requires interaction from visitors. Elements illustrating direct current cease to be interactive. In the centre of the zone, there are three displays with many bulbs suspended over them. On the external side, displays of various aspects of gravity are planned. Newton’s concept of gravity is illustrated by an educational installation consisting of a few dozen balls lifted by the impetus of the air. When observing this phenomenon, we can see individual elements falling down and then rising again. Beside the installation there is a display showing a cosmic funnel – Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity – where the strongest planet is the centre and draws others towards itself.
The phenomenon of electromagnetic waves discovered by Heinrich Hertz is shown by means of a waving artistic installation dispersing in space. The composition is based on vertical distance mounted elements creating the illusion of movement. Within the same sphere, three multimedia displays presenting Maria Curie Skłodowska’s achievements in exact sciences are located. On the external side of the sphere, an animation on the floor has been designed. It illustrates the discovery made by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev. The projection displays symbols of elements at random, but they become grouped after a while. On the other side of this zone, there is a zone dedicated to Benjamin Franklin. The designed installation shows two kinds of electric charges: positive and negative. Visitors can use magnets to direct iron filings and create various patterns. Electromagnetic field lines are also shown on the floor, spreading out from one display to another.
The centre of the exhibition is devoted to the phenomenon of inertia. The installation is aimed at showing a situation where no resistance is produced. The translucence and delicacy of the hovering semi-transparent textiles allow the visitors to experience the lightness of existence.
The designed orbits hovering over the exhibition enrich the space by giving it a molecular character. Numerous educational and multimedia stands show selected physical phenomena in an interesting and educational manner. Flashing signs on the floor were designed around selected elements to illustrate the trace left by scientists in the world.
