Color Mixing Machine is an interactive exhibit that allows visitors to mix colors on massive translucent, colorful wheels in front of them. The back wheel is stationary and features 6 large and 12 small different colored films. The front-wheel contains 3 large and 3 small colored films. As visitors spin the helm in front of the large color wheels, they can see the different effects of moving a blue film over yellow, green over orange, and so on. By placing this exhibit in a large window, Color Mixing Machine takes advantage of the natural light streaming in and provides a dramatic visual presence as well as supplying an engaging activity for museum-goers.
