Miraikan, Tokio
Background
The international travelling exhibition »science + fiction« contemplates the cultural relations between fine arts and science. Within a structure designed exclusively for the exhibition by gewerkdesing works of art and scientific facts are juxtaposed.
Just like a »Wunderkammer« from the Renaissance when the arts and sciences were not as separate as they are today, the exhibition uses artistic works in order to comment upon the essential accomplishments of science represented by images, objects, specimens and media reports.
Working together with scientists and artists gewerkdesign specified an architectural matrix consisting of identical modules for integrating the exhibits.
