Obscura devised a mesmerizing building projection show using filmed footage to commemorate the opening of the San Francisco Exploratorium, a museum dedicated to perception and human curiosity. The innovative approach involved creating small replicas of the building, capturing phenomena within them, and projecting the footage back onto the building's facade, seamlessly integrating it with the architecture.

Various captivating techniques were employed, including an acrylic cloud tank with multiple valves to generate entropic bursts and flowing chaos, timelapse footage of plant growth within a building-shaped box, crystal growth timelapse spanning a week, cymatics and wind current footage with sand, chemical reactions in a building-shaped petri dish, and a terrestrial biopsy/cross-section of a Northern California forest floor.

In addition, microscopy was utilized to laser-etch the building's facade onto a microscope slide, enabling microorganisms to explore the architectural details. On the event night, crowd interactive thermal imaging cameras captured the attendees, creating a fascinating thermal mirror experience.

This multifaceted production showcased the intersection of art, science, and architecture, captivating and engaging the audience with the wonders of perception and human curiosity
