The League of Imaginary Scientists bring their Evolving Contraption to MOCA's Engagement Party on the first Thursday evenings of January, February, and March 2011.
The Museum of Contemporary Art is pleased to announce The League of Imaginary Scientists as the winter 2011 participants in Engagement Party, MOCA's program that presents new works by innovative Southern California-based artist collectives and collaborators. The League of Imaginary Scientists is a non-exclusive society for creative scientists, mechanically-inclined artists, absurdist inventors and self-proclaimed quacks. The collective will bring The Evolving Contraption, a morphing art apparatus and stage for interactive adventures, to MOCA for a series of unique public interventions on the first Thursday evenings of January, February, and March 2011. 'Wormholes' is an exploration of space and time activated by audience participation. As it turns out, the science of wormholes is very simple, and rests on the bilateral symmetry of worms. The League of Imaginary Scientists harness this science, transporting viewers to other points in the universe.
