As the Small Fry group – hey, we have Small in our name! – we thought about Big and Little as a playground where children’s perception could be funneled, distorted, crafted, and empowered with a series of windows, mirrors, lenses, periscopes, and kinetic sculptures.
In the video above: An optical illusion that looks like one thing (Batman!) when half the window is opened – but it’s too big for a single child to open both halves at the same time! However when two children open the windows together, the whole image is revealed…and guess what, turns out it’s Wolverine.
One more video for the young at heart: Portals that let children control a single view of a larger, hidden image.
