The purpose of all of our Powers of Ten projects, from the original film to the new exhibtion , from the poster to the CD-ROM , is to give you a sense of that power and meaning. Although the journey is in someways quite direct, as you explore the powers of ten with us, we hope you will also begin to sense the marvelous relationships between different scales and the impossibility of keeping them from connecting to one another. This resource is currently under construction. Please enjoy what is available now and come back soon to see more. The exhibition uses the journey in scale to provide a rich intellectual and visual experience for visitors tot he gallery.
Brief captions identify each power of ten.
Longer text panels integrate these images into other views of the universe and tell the story of how humanity has come to know what it knows. In the foyer, local students have shared drawings of the something very large and something very small. We have sorted these by scale. The film Powers of Ten plays on continuous loop. This is a travelling exhibition.
