CPS Thinktank Workshop with Kang-Hyun Ahn

posted July 23, 2009 in CPS Thinktank , residents

In the second week of the Thinktank workshops, resident Artist Kang-Hyun Ahn supervised the CPS Teaching Artists in the construction of a Kaleidoscope. After completion, the viewer looks in one end and light enters the other end, reflecting off interior mirrors. The CPS group made their Kaleidoscopes with colorful, patterned cardboards.  The Kaleidoscope is related to hyperbolic geometry. It was initially intended as a science tool, but was quickly copied as a toy.
