Et Cetera



This exhibition area is devoted to a collection of unusual experiments that we can't assign to any other exhibition but didn't want you to miss!

Play with your shadow to conjure up creative figures in the Shadow Box or in the Deep Walls moving shadow mosaic. And at Pin Screens, you can leave your reflection in thousands of metal pins. In this part of the Technorama, your imagination is the only limit to countless possibilities for self-expression.
