Work in progress: Solutions I
Heidi Trimmel is working on a system mapping of the human-environment system, which includes defining and linking crucial variables and identifying balancing and reinforcing cycles. This map will form the basis for a discussion on where it is best to deploy or release forces to achieve the goal of (re)integration with nature. A renegotiation of the social contract - which forms the basis of most societies today - is on the UN Secretary-General's agenda and, in her view, must also include animate and inanimate nature. presentation: 24 + 25.

In the exhibition "Photons received, photons responded" two artists and scientists show their latest works - based on their exchange and their joint examination of solar radiation and the radiation processes that surround us. Curiously, following the trajectories of the photons sensitizes to the non-linearity and periodicity of the processes. The artistic dismantling of physical-optical laws in the darkroom, as well as measurement and numerical modeling of the radiative transfer of the atmosphere, show that the laws of nature surprise and enchant us again and again. The electromagnetic radiation (also the light) from the solar core meltdown of the sun reaches the earth and enables life on our planet. This radiation penetrates and warms our atmosphere, enabling photosynthesis, powering our weather system, and responsible for myriad complex interactions. Even fossil fuels are indirectly based on the sun's nuclear fusion. Only a small part of this abundance is perceived or used. The artists promise nothing or make any claims, but offer a scientific focus in an artistic context. Experimental photographic works, a sound work, a performative intervention, an artistic-system analytic research text, a light installation and plots of numerical simulation results can be seen.
*** In der Ausstellung “Photons received, photons responded” zeigen zwei Künstlerinnen und Naturwissenschaftlerinnen ihre neuen Arbeiten - basierend auf ihrem Austausch und ihrer gemeinsamen Auseinandersetzung mit der solaren Strahlung und den uns umgebenden Strahlungprozessen. Das neugierige Verfolgen der Trajektorien der Photonen sensibilisiert für die Nicht-Linearität und Periodizität der Prozesse. Das künstlerische Auseinandernehmen von physikalisch optischen Gesetzen in der Dunkelkammer, sowie Messung und numerische Modellierung des Strahlungstransfers der Atmosphäre, zeigen dass die Naturgesetze uns immer wieder neu überraschen und verzaubern. Die elektromagnetische Abstrahlung (also auch das Licht) ausgehend von der solaren Kernschmelze der Sonne, erreicht die Erde und ermöglicht Leben auf unserem Planeten. Diese Strahlung durchdringt und erwärmt unsere Atmosphäre und ermöglicht Photosynthese, treibt unser Wettersystem an und ist für unzählige komplexe Wechselwirkungen verantwortlich. Sogar fossile Energieträger basieren indirekt auf der Kernfusion der Sonne. Von dieser Fülle wird nur ein kleiner Teil wahrgenommen oder genutzt. Die Künstlerinnen stellen nichts in Aussicht oder erheben Anspruch, sondern bieten einen naturwissenschaftlichen Fokus im künstlerischen Kontext an. Zu sehen sind experimentelle fotografische Arbeiten, eine Klangarbeit, eine performative Intervention, ein künstlerisch system-analytischer Forschungstext, eine Lichtinstallation und Plots numerischer Simulationsergebnisse.
ground based kardashev ver 1.0 is the first recording of an experimental acoustic concept, converting ground based global radiation measurement data to the timescale of human heart beat. The work makes us able to hear the intensity and periodicity of the sun's energy income powering life on earth in a way we can relate to personally as human beings.
