Covered Skies

May, 4th or 5th until June, 30th 2012

program/whish list
Exhibition, worklabs, conference and performances
Deadline for project proposals: 20.2.2012

Since 2010, we are busy with satellites; mostly the one, that we are building here, but we are also interested in the others. So, for May and June 2012, we plan an exhibition that will also host some worklabs, a conference and performances.

invisibilities
TU Braunschweig – space debris
Currently there are about 150 million artificial objects with diameters of one millimeter or more in Earth orbits. Even the smallest objects pose a threat to manned and unmanned space flight due to high relative velocities.

workshops

Non-newtonian Liquids

No Tours – Enrique Tomas
noTours is a project by the collective Escoitar.org that allows editing a place with sounds. This means that you can attach sounds to a territtory and that later, when you go physically to that place, you can listen to them. The trick is using our noTours Android Application that detects your location (via GPS) and plays your audios exactly in the place where you decided. We adapt noTours using satellite positioning data to trigger sounds.
