Liberty Science Center
Renewal Project

Magian Design Studio worked with Liberty Science Center to create engaging media experiences for visitors in a number of exhibits, for the opening of their expansion and renewal project featuring nearly 300,000 sq ft of new exhibits.  The project opened in July 2007.

Located inside the Infection Connection exhibit is a recreated subway car accommodating 22 visitors to experience a 13 minute theater program. The program describes the way in which infection is easily spread in the contemporary world through travel. Diseases discussed are Dengue Fever, TB, HIV / AIDS and the Flu.

The story is told through eight 50” Plasma screens, sixteen 37” LCD screens and three life-size LED figures.

From writing the script, to hiring actors, to editing the multi-screened video, Magian was responsible for all aspects of media production for the subway car, as well as providing dynamic control software.

The exhibit Our Hudson Home enables visitors to learn about estuarine wildlife and the interrelationships between nature and humanity along the Hudson River.  Magian produced five touchscreen interactive programs for the exhibit.

The Communication exhibit explores human communication from a global and individual perspective.

Magian produced a multi-screened interactive game, as well as an introductory video for the entrance of the exhibit. The interactive multi-screened game, What Else am I Saying, uses video and animation to test knowledge about communication. Presented in an amusing way, this experience also promotes multi-user learning.
