1515 Hermann Drive | 713.337.8451 www . thehealthmuseum . org teamLab is a Tokyo-based collective operating at the frontier of art and technology . Flowers and People , Cannot be Controlled but Live Together — A Whole Year per Hour ( 2015 ) is an interactive installation : sensors respond to visitors ’ movements , causing flowers to sprout , bloom and wilt in an ever-changing cycle . Neither a pre-recorded animation nor a continuous loop , the work is created in real time by a computer program and highlights the complex relationships between art , science , nature and technology . Through August 13 .
On display from June 16 through July 23 , 2017 , this multimedia art exhibition deconstructs and reinterprets the literary work of a secret society of Jewish boys , who created the longest-running underground magazine in any Nazi camp . Using a combination of pop-art graphics , drawings , paintings , and the prose and poetry of adolescent prisoners in the Terezin Ghetto , the exhibit explores 83 weekly issues of the Vedem magazine . Produced from 1942 – 1944 , the original ‘ zine ’ ( handmade magazine ), is recreated through panels dedicated to various subject matter , such as “ Features ,” “ Humor ” and “ News and Editorial ” sections . To date , the exhibition has been on display at the Museum of Tolerance , LA ; the LA Jewish Community Foundation & the Box Gallery ; and the El Paso Holocaust Museum .
Humanae at The Health Museum is a " work in progress " by the Brazilian artist Angélica Dass and challenges visitors to rethink how they see race and think about skin color through a chromatic inventory of the different human skin tones that label human subjects with their corresponding color in the industrial palette , Pantone . 250 portraits are featured from the ongoing collection of 3,500 images taken in 26 cities and in 17 different countries ; there are no classifications relating to nationality , gender , age , race , social class or religion . Through September 5 .
