MAKING CLOUDS or ON THE ABSENCE OF WEIGHT

a contemporary wanderkino / performance

Agnes Meyer-Brandis


SHORT DESCRIPTION

The Wanderkino deals with the Art and Science under the absence of weight. As a mix of film, performance and lecture it shows flying machines with mechanisms based on gravity and weightlessness, examines cloud cores and presents a gravimetric documentation of an unusual experiment. The audience witnesses a perambulation on the search for reality degree of constructions. It experiences the reality within the movie and the trick within the reality.

Starting point is an artistic project under the condition of weightlessness, entitled "Cloud-Core-Scanner". The experiment participated in a microgravity generating flight manoeuvre, that is usually restricted to scientific interests and was executed in collaboration with the DLR ( German Aerospace Centre).

The Material, generated under unearthly conditions, mixes and raises the issue of communication structures of contemporary art with some quite surreal forms of science (nanotechnology, Fluid-dynamic research, meteorology). As central metaphor as well as the main focus of the filmed procedures serves the theory of cloud formation.

Premiere: 5. and 6. February 2010, 6pm
Location: Virchowsaal / Sophiensaele Beriin Mitte

A production of DOCK e.V. in collaboration with the Schering Foundation and the Sophiensaele.
Partner-Event of transmediale.10

The experiment "Cloud Core Scanner" on board the airplane was realised in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center DLR.
Supported by the Filmstiftung NRW. Many thanks the essesntial contribution of the sponsors and
the wonderful Cloud Core Gound-Crew. Without their help the project would not have been possible.
