I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose. | I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose. | ||

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations. | I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be.

* to produce a series of drawing and possible writings that will then be exhibited at the International school or possibly somewhere in the Bauhaus if it can be organised - to be further discussed with Max. | |||
* In addition to this, a booklet could be produced with a selection of drawings writing and ideas from the children - (perhaps made possible by a small financial donation from the International School - in exchange for the teaching of the workshops on my time - without pay… something to be further discussed with Russell Marino) | |||
* and or: a PPP of students images with their own narration overlaid of what the images are about | |||
* Another idea is to overlay the children's images on a PPP with the voices of adults - thus combining the idea of crossing generation perspective and this could also be an interesting way to present the works for the work as well as to the children - to give their work a 'big person' voice. | |||

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are | Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space.

The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are “waving” in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope.

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race.

In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon. | The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race.

The stars are hanging from the ceiling at the end of a very long corridor. So it is impossible to identify them with the naked eye. The visitors have to look through a telescope to explore my collection of stars. | The stars are hanging from the ceiling at the end of a very long corridor.
