Production documentation of Engineering Entropy
a collaboration between The League of Imaginary Scientists and students at Bradley University.

Engineering Entropy began as an installation by the League of Imaginary Scientists at Bradley University in the fall of 2010. That lead to a collaboration with engineers and artists on the campus, culminated in an exhibition in the fall of 2011.
The project manifested as an ‘earthquake table’ which participants can stand on, disrupting a model city. As entropy increases in the model city, floating objects suspended in tubes go from an ordered state to a less ordered one. Entropy can be reduced by reconstructing the city, which in turn will return all of the gallery elements to an ordered state.
