Description

  1. On Space Art / Sabine Heinz
    If you think artists are useless, try to spend your quarantine without music, books, poems, movies, paintings and games. The corona virus has changed our organizational structures worldwide. That also has positive aspects. New technologies have received a boost out of the need to maintain communication structures. This can also be an opportunity. Digitization has entered the world in a new dimension. Elements will find their way into art, be it as artificial intelligence, which is already taking place, or in 3D printing, video technology or other electronic forms. Entirely new art formats will emerge. The new technical possibilities that arise now also influence the content. That could become the art of man venturing into space.
  2. The Metamorphosis of a Periplaneta Americana / Daniela De Paulis
    The Metamorphosis of a Periplaneta Americana is a performance and a thought experiment. The project is the continuation of COGITO in Space, for which participants can transmit their brain activity into space while viewing a video of the Earth seen from space. The Metamorphosis of a Periplaneta Americana shifts the artistic, philosophical and scientific questioning of COGITO in Space from the realm of humans to the realm of insects—for example, a locust and a cockroach. Initiated in 2015, the project was first presented in April 2020, in collaboration with the Bochum Radio Observatory in Germany and the University of Tel Aviv.
    Whereas COGITO in Space focuses on the subjective, inner experience of the participant traveling into space with their mind, The Metamorphosis of a Periplaneta Americana transmits the neural activity of insects into the cosmos to pose some hard questions: Can subjectivity be attributed to this type of living species and, “what is it like to be” an insect (Thomas Nagel)?
