Open Dialogue

Last week, FifeX completed work on a 'bench' with a difference. The bench was commissioned by Jonathan Baxter and was designed and produced for an art event which featured as part of Decision Time Scotland in the DCA, Dundee - it was used as the focus for discussions about open dialogue, where 12 participants could engage in discussion.

It exists in four parts as you can see and comes together to form a complete hoop. This is the latest in a series of fabrication projects which FifeX has been working on this summer.

Royal Observatory Edinburgh

Last month we joined up with Lyndsey Clark and Chris Peters to work on upgrading some exhibits in the Royal Observatory Edinburgh. 

The exhibits themselves have been in the dome a long time and lasted incredibly well - our job was to freshen them up - everything was done in-house and they were finished in a light blue colour which matched them beautifully to the telescope in the dome itself.

On the right you can see the exhibit where users can split white light into the visible spectrum. Below there is a snap of the Spectroscopy exhibit, where users can see the spectra of four different gases viewed through diffraction gratings.

If you fancy seeing the Royal Observatory Visitor Centre, you should pop down on the open weekend at the end of September!
