Rock Paper Scissors' Science Fair hosts much stranger exhibits than those found in elementary schools' baking-soda-and-vinegar volcano competitions. Guest curator Andrew Thompson has compiled creative experiments that are as influenced by the sciences as they are critical of them. Trisha Brookbank's cyborg-like mutant fauna, Erik Peterson's mock cultural anthropologies, Nathan Vince's investigation of "organic" and "synthetic," and architect Mike Flynn's mathematics-obsessed videos all begin with original hypotheses and end with startling results.
