Eleven pieces of interactive kinetic sculptures were created with scientific and technological skills. Produced by the renowned Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, California, USA, this exhibition invites visitors to explore the dynamic natural forces that are shaping our Solar System. The sculptures, in their constantly varying patterns, display the effects of natural phenomena such as turbulence, flow, wind, and the drive toward equilibrium. Through touching and manipulating the artworks, visitors may obtain a better insight into the natural processes that are found on other planetary bodies in our Solar System. Accompanying the sculptures are photographs taken during spaceflights and on Earth. These images reveal patterns that resemble those created in the sculptures. The classic forms such as spirals and branches occur both on a small scale in the sculptures and on a large scale on the planets, moons and comets in the Solar System. Planetary Landscapes: Sculpting the Solar System is a unique blend of art and science designed to inspire observation, exploration and inquiry. The sculptures and photographs beckon visitors to investigate natural phenomena and the interplay between chaos and order that continues to shape the planetary landscape of our Solar System.
