The impossible science exhibition

The Irrational Funding Agency (www.irration.al) has agreed to provide unlimited resources to create the first science exhibition that’s absolutely free from budgetary or technological limitations. The agency provides each participant with an “impossible ingredient:” a pocket-size black hole, an infinitely long rope, or exhibition space in the Mariana Trench.

Participants will team up, combine their items and create an “impossible exhibit,” concisely described using 150 characters and one image. The exhibits will be discussed: Who is your target audience? What do you expect visitors to learn/experience? How can you make the exhibit accessible? The purpose of this format is to connect people, engage in collaborative creative thinking, share ideas of how /why science exhibits work, and find seeds for real exhibits.
