The exhibition, titled Oceans, the last wild territory, consists of an audiovisual tour of the seabed based on 480 hours of unpublished images selected from the documentary Oceans, the greatest testimony of the seabed ever filmed.

Five years after hosting an Exhibit Prototyping Conference, we were delighted to once again provide the venue for another exhibit development event. This time the interactive exhibits were based around a common theme - Maths. We were joined by representatives from ten science centres in Norway and had two busy days, building, testing, tinkering and developing ideas into great exhibits. Alongside the prototyping there were presentations and discussions on elements that make up a good interactive exhibit, and how to achieve best practices in exhibit design, development and evaluation.
In February 2016 we were arwarded a contract to design and fabricate Kuglebane (lit. ball track), a 150 sqm huge kinetic rolling ball sculpture featuring 1,500 single components, to be placed within the HAVNEN (lit. Port) gallery of Experimentarium in Hellerup, Denmark.
