The Mad Systems View-O-Matic uses video imagery to simulate the operation of a fanciful, vintage microscoope. Faux rivets and faux grease complete the look of a scientific instrument that looks like something out of a Jules Verne story. |
A huge, upside-down bucket houses insects that fluoresce under ultraviolet lights. Kids wear these helmets with miners’ lights to be able to see the insects in normal lighting conditions. Iridescent insets in the helmets are picked up by the fluorescent
lights for additional, playful effect. |
Kidspace is a new children’s museum in Southern California, geared to ages 3-14. Mad Systems designed, built and installed numerous interactives and accessories for Kidspace, including Bugsy’s Diner (a fast-food eatery for insects) and Sliding Plates and Earth Pulse (earthquake exhibits). Mad Systems also provided special effects, sound and lighting within the “Kaleidoscope” entryway. This exuberant entryway welcomes visitors with color, mirrors, lighting and sound that evoke the magic and wonder of a kaleidoscope.
