MAD Arts, a museum, community hub and laboratory for art and technology, is proud to present The Junk Machine by conceptual artist ClownVamp.

The gallery will host a public opening reception on Saturday, October 4, from 6-10 p.m., kicking off the exhibition, which will be on view through December 7, 2025.

At the center of ClownVamp’s installation is a bright pink robot that generates endless, AI-produced “junk mail” at the push of a button. Using a local AI model on an embedded NVIDIA Jetson computer, it prints surreal, gluttony-inspired images on 6×6 inch paper with no Wi-Fi or cloud, producing a continuous flood of algorithmic output.

The Junk Machine playfully and provocatively explores the promises and perils of artificial intelligence. As ClownVamp notes, “It can create beauty, humor, and engaging interactions, but it can also be industrialized into a mechanism for proliferation of past biases, capitalist imagery, and visual noise.” The exhibition invites viewers to confront how experimental AI tools are being transformed into engines of mass production, offering an experience that is both playful and unsettling.

Cost: Included with Museum Admission: MODS Members and children under 1 – Free; Florida Residents Discovery Pass: Child (1-12) – $19; Adults $25; Military $22; Senior (65+) $23 Non-Members Discovery Pass: Child (1-12) $23; Adult $28; Military $25; Senior (65+) $26

Kids and families can now play and save the day with the heroic PAW Patrol™ pups, at the brand-new PAW Patrol: Adventure Play traveling exhibit presented by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Florida Prepaid College Savings Plan and Chewy VetCare, opening September 12 at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS). Based on the hit preschool series PAW Patrol, produced by Spin Master Entertainment and airing on Nickelodeon, this interactive exhibit gives kids and their grown-ups an opportunity to run rescue missions and work together to overcome challenges in a fun and immersive environment. The exhibit runs through January 10, 2026.
Families will visit Adventure Bay with a group of eight rescue pups. Each pup is inspired by a real-world job like a police officer (Chase), a firefighter (Marshall), a construction worker (Rubble), a fearless pilot (Skye) and more. Just as the heroic pups, who believe “no job is too big, no pup is too small,” work together to protect the community on the TV show, families will work together to save the day with a can-do attitude. In the process, kids learn about different jobs within a community and how those real-life professionals coordinate to keep people safe and happy.
Each of the pups has special skills, gadgets and vehicles to help them on their rescue missions. In the exhibit, families are invited to pop on a pup pack containing their own imaginary tools and check out the lay of the land from the lookout tower. They can head to Jake’s Mountain and scope things out near the snowy slide to see if anyone is in trouble. They can also board the PAW Patroller, push buttons, and drive it up the mountain to help Rubble and Everest rescue a snowboarder stuck in the snow. Those with a taste for foodie adventures can whip up tasty treats in Porter’s Café and help Adventure Bay win the Tallest Cake Competition by stacking cake layers as high as they can. Families can also cruise Adventure Bay aboard the Sea Patroller, steering it to rescue baby seagulls and turtles.

The hands-on, immersive PAW Patrol: Adventure Play exhibit is a fun way for the whole family to learn bravery and heroism, with exciting stories. The whole family will learn how to combine their skills to problem-solve together and save the day.

Wanna Be Weekends in October and November: No Job Too Big!
MODS will extend the PAW Patrol: Adventure Play experience with Wanna Be Weekends, taking place every Saturday and Sunday in October and November. These themed weekends feature engaging, hands-on activities highlighting real-life community heroes and STEAM-based careers. From designing rescue vehicles and building homes to meeting local police officers, firefighters, first responders and even learning how to be a pilot, families will discover how teamwork, compassion and problem-solving shape the world around us. Thanks to support from the JetBlue Foundation, young aviators will have the chance to explore flight science and aviation careers through special programming and guest speakers.

On select days, Chewy VetCare will also host an interactive Vet Clinic, where children can step into the role of animal caretakers by practicing empathy and learning how to care for pets and other animals in need.

Each weekend brings new partners, fresh adventures and opportunities for children to imagine how they can make a difference just like the heroic pups of Adventure Bay.

PAW Patrol: Adventure Play was produced by The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis in partnership with Nickelodeon. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is a nonprofit committed to creating extraordinary family learning experiences across the arts, sciences, and humanities that have the power to transform the lives of children and families.

PAW Patrol: Adventure Play is included with admission to MODS. For more information about the exhibit, visit mods.org/exhibit/paw-patrol-adventure-play/.
