Elizabeth Hickok's amazing San Francisco In Jell-O sculpture will be on display only for the opening day, April 1, of the Exploratorium's new exhibit series Magnitude X: Quake Science and Survival. The entire series sounds quite intriguing though. From the exhibition description:
Magnitude X includes an offbeat, quivering, large-scale Jell-O model of San Francisco made in the primary-colored shimmering medium by artist Liz Hickok… Meet dog heroes. See earthquakes pop up on an international map as they occur throughout the world. A sampling of a month-long collection of exhibits and demonstrations cover liquefaction — the cause of major damage to homes built on sand and landfill — the physics of waves, resonance, seismic action and the mathematics of sine waves. Meet geologists, first-responders, survival kit experts, and structural engineers. What do you want to know about your survival kit, your structure or your neighborhood, or how you can best be prepared? Every weekend, the Exploratorium provides a range of opportunities to pose all your pent-up personal questions to a series of experts.
