The technical setup consists of a computer running Max and some means of notification like a bell or a speaker. The current position of the International Space Station is calculated from its orbital data and set into relation to the place of exhibition (e.g. Weimar). If the ISS is at a place which can be considered overhead the notification is triggered. If a speaker is used the sound synthesis can encode different parameters. | The technical setup consists of a computer running Max and some means of notification like a bell or a speaker.
