Curated by Jaya Ramchandani

Venue: GOA SCIENCE CENTER, MIRAMAR

Time: 10:30 – 18:30

The Evolution of the Void was an interdisciplinary project on the different theories about the concept of Void. From western heritage to eastern culture, from contemporary science to avant-garde art explorations, the meaning of emptiness has evolved in an incredible and varied way. For this exhibit, architect Manuel Scortichini, philosopher S Bhuvaneshwari and theoretical particle physicist Giuseppe Bozzi have came together to build a narrative which gave a more comprehensive framework about the philosophical aspects of the void to audiences. By combining illustrations and games to create new way of learning, they invited visitors to interact with their exhibit.
