Santiago Ortiz’s two-week Exploratorium residency allowed him to share his interactive visual models of linear scale that imagine time and size scales along a very large continuum. During his visit, he met with Exploratorium staff, scientists, and other visiting artists, and spent much of his time in the Learning Commons developing sketches for Flash prototypes. Ortiz’s scale models attracted Exploratorium staffers because the nanoscale is difficult for many visitors to envision, and these interactive pieces offered potentially engaging models of the concept of size at the nanoscale.
