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 Hi Jackie,

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 Your Recollections has long been one of my peek experiences.

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

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.

At the latest, NY Hall of Science, I inquired at the gift shop and was hopeful when they told me shadowplay for a reasonable price. That was obviously wrong...but I managed to track this down, and I just wanted to share my appreciation. I also encourage you to develop a home version--it would be ideal for the kinetic, creative types (child and adult)! As a homeschooler, I would love to utilize this as a creative, fun, outlet of energy during our day.

I'd love to put together a traveling school version. It did travel with the "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" exhibition put together by the Pittsburgh Children's Museum for temporary museum installations. The big problem has always been having a retro-reflective wall that could travel. I could probably make a foldable, mountable screen. Schools have projectors and screens now, so that's hardly an issue. Good idea. I've had inquiries for personal installations, but so far haven't done any. I'm not a child either, and never really intended it as a children's plaything. We are all kids at heart (I hope). Regards, et Hi Mary Lou,

I love it and I am not at child except at heart. Is there a version for individuals. Has anyone ever considered a traveling one that could go to schools?
