Deconstructing Patterns provides a glimpse into three intricate developmental patterns studied at the Crick Institute, each one introduced by a unique artwork. The art commissions were developed through extensive conversations and close collaborations with Crick researchers, and the resulting artworks offer alternative ways of exploring and describing the microscopic patterns that so intrigue scientists at the Crick. They take the form of a poetry and soundscape piece by Sarah Howe and Chu-Li Shewring, a sculpture and film by Helen Pynor and a film created by a young filmmaking group called KaleiKo.
I worked with Studio Prelude to develop the visual identity for the exhibition and deliver the graphic design elements for the show. Following the concept of evolving patterns, I arranged the large-scale exhibition titles within the deconstructed typographic compositions. The free-standing cases, containing science stories, audio recordings, videos, microscopes, peep holes and glossaries, required structured information design to navigate the visitors between the stories and their respective interactive experiences.
