About

There are three distinct parts of a shadow created by any light source interacting on an opaque object and the fun is in playing with these shadows: umbra, penumbra, and antumbra.

Explore a miniature city of architectural works detailed with glow-in-the-dark silkscreen patterns and paint, created by SCC artist Monique Martin and her students.

The shadows created by structures in a city are as unique as the structure itself. This interactive display will allow you to manipulate that structure using light sources.
