MIRACLESCOPE

MIRACLESCOPE - Inflatable sculpture

Miraclescope sculpture is a fantastic device allegedly defining the miracle and the degree of its manifestation. It is a fantasy on a theme of how such optical machine for the detection, measuring and registration of the miracle parameters could look like. It's shape resembles optical distortions, reflections and refractions. Transparent parts symbolize lenses and oculars. It is something between the telescope and the microscope, but the system of lenses is situated not inside of the device, but is the device itself. This sculpture continues the theme of the "Psionics" series – theme of the fictional mechanisms, which use in their work the superpowers of the human consciousness and psyche.
