This exhibition, designed by Eames Demetrios for the Eames Office, uses the journey in scale to provide a rich intellectual and visual experience for visitors to the gallery. Each of the powers of ten appears on 27" by 27" photographic panels. Brief captions identify each power of ten. Longer text panels integrate these images into other views of the universe and tell the story of how humanity has come to know what it knows. Large objects in the center of the space taken from the community where the exhibition is on view provides a sense of scale. In the foyer, local students have shared drawings of the something very large and something very small. We have sorted these by scale. The film Powers of Ten plays on continuous loop.

Images from one of the most recent venues, the Gulbenkian Institute in Lisbon, Portugal.
