hey,
i saw something like this in a performance within the “impulstanz” festival in vienna. it was openair at night on a huge construction site with the dancers faced to the audience and the screen more or less behind them. they didnt use any colors but just really white light. sometimes they were black and the background enlighted, sometimes the screen was black an they were glooming. was exciting!
kind regards!

Hi Jackie,
Well… I hope that the rest of your life has been good since “Recollections” It was installed at the Exploratorium in San Francisco for about 25 years (as I first designed it there), but it has been down for a few years now to make space for other things. I’ve been promised that it will be put into the new, improved Exploratorium when it moves to its new home at the waterfront in a couple of years. Please pressure them to make it happen! Otherwise, the closest installation to the Bay Area is in Salem, Oregon at the A.C. Gilbert Discovery Village.

Regards,
ET

Your Recollections has long been one of my peek experiences. I discovered it at Jim Bredouw’s children’s museum in the San Juan Islands. Can you tell me where I can experience it in our Bay Area?
I still recall, after all the intensity, wondering what I would do with the rest of my life, once it was over. All this to say; your work is amazing, and I would LOVE to return to your Recollectons…RSVP

With Awe & Gratitude…
Jackie

We aquired this exhibit a year or so ago, and have had it up and running here at A.C. Gilberts Discovery Village. It may be one of our best exhibits, because it caters to all ages.

WOW! Thank You! Experienced this at Newport, Oregon’s Ripley’s Believe It or Not, and had such a great time dancing! We are looking into details, cost, requirements, et al, to acquire in local venue. So Wonderful!

The “Silk Cascades” are stunning! Because of my business I often think all art should be concrete, but I reflect upon the images you have on your site and I have to give thanks that everyone is not like me. Nice Job

I was just in New York but missed out on the Hall of Science. Maybe I’ll be able to make it next time I’m there.

I went with my 4-year-old and 8-year-old nieces to the science museum in Winterthur, Switzerland over the holidays. They love, love, love the Recollections exhibit there! (I do too.) Thanks!

As a kid, it never really occurs to you that there are people behind everything that gets made in the world. When I first experienced Recollections at a children’s museum in Virginia (appropriate, as I was a child then) I just thought of it as this weird thing someone had discovered. I didn’t realize that someone had to actually spend time and effort developing the technology, and even if I had, I probably would have assumed it was just a group of nameless scientists who had stumbled on it by accident.

The fact that there are people out there who purposely create things which have no practical application other than to be beautiful is always encouraging. So, thanks.
