WHERE AND WHAT I am currently running a creative workshop with the students from the Waldorfschule in Weimar – So far this has been a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the students(I hope) 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. | |||

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 “radio-halo”. 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 (sorry for my bad english). | |||

This work began by following a project sponsored by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute. Vanessa Cardui larvae that flew aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis to the ISS, was also an educational project that encouraged students to take part by creating their own habitats to watch life cycles over the course of aprox. 25 days. Through a process of observation and isolation, both habitats (one on earth and one in space, and the variable being gravity) would attempt to contain life in order to speculate how knowledge gained might apply to humans (and life as a living system) travelling in space and time through the solar system. Might this also effect, mediate and transform life on earth? | |||

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures onto the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware.

In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the subject, as it is pulling the camera, filming itself.
