For the show “Art Goes Science” in the Kulturzenrum Gasteig (Cultural Center Gasteig), Munich, I had a baby incubator installed for display and interaction:  the incubator contained a pile of paper, pencils, stamps and a stamp pad. The audience was invited to create their own sheets with sketches, notes and stories, and leave them in the incubator behind, or try to push them through a slit for take-away.  One could also pull out drawings made by previous visitors.
