Pop up DIY Science Museum at the Red House

In may of 2014 I was actively involved in organizing an event for the New Orleans Red House (An offshoot of the New Orleans Art House) called the “DIY Science Museum”. They contacted me for my background working in information design, scientific media, and museums. I displayed my personal work, and helped to vet, curate, and lay out the exhibition on the day of the event.

The event itself consisted of many local artists and designers, some selling wares, some simply displaying work. a band and a few DJ’s came to perform. a projection mapping dome was set up in the back yard and a screen playing science documentaries was also erected. A few educators performed educational experiments for wide eyed onlookers. Given the nature of the Red House art collective, it was a fairly free form, strange fusion of house party, pop up educational event, museum, and concert. I am proud to have been part of it.
