BRIEF
The brief was to create a piece in relation to one of the artefacts at the Science Museum exhibition "Science City 1550-1800". The goal was to design an object that will prompt the audience to further explore and learn about collection curated by SM. The general design directions concern accessibility, capacity to entertain large groups at eas and small-scale budget.

PROCESS
Initial research helped me narrow down the artefact with natural affinitive for a visually interesting outcome (e.g. optical instruments ), as well as gather a better understanding of the entire exhibition. The earliest stages of my design choices were dictated by elements I knew worked in previous years of SM Lates and my personal experiences of attending similar events. Equally significant was feedback given to me from SM even curators, both during the initial proposal presentation and, later on, privet viewing of the prototypes.

INSTALLATION
CREATIVE CODING
OUTCOME
In its final shape, the installation was a massive screen displaying the audience through a coded filter, imitating the effect of the lens getting in an out of focus. The installation emulates one of many drawbacks that came alongside the invention of the basic telescopes and has been an issue until the groundbreaking creation of Newton’s reflective telescope. "Visual aberration" facilitates the discussion around Sir Issac instrument, displayed at the Science City exhibition located in close vicinity to the installation, and aim to explain its importance in an approachable and accessible manner.
