RadioSolarKompass by Roman Haefeli & Anja Kaufmann

On the occasion of the exhibition Connect. Art between Media and Reality at Rote Fabrik in Zürich, Roman Häfeli and Anja Kaufmann redesigned their project RadioSolarKompass:

RadioSolarKompass can be interpreted as sonification of the rotation of our earth. You can follow the sunrise around the globe by listening to a never ending live stream of morning broadcasts from a current spot in the early morning sun.

The programme behind RadioSolarKompass connects radios from all over the world depending on the time of sunrise. You can see on the worldmap, where actually the sun is rising and from this location, you can hear a radio broadcast.

Ernst May: exhibition at DAM, Frankfurt

The exhibition of the important architect of the "New Frankfurt" and Frankfurt Planning Director Ernst May will present for the first time the complete works of all his creative periods – on the basis of historical photographies, plans and models May's legs in Frankfurt, the Soviet Union and Africa will be displayed amongst others.
Unfortunatly the Exhibition focuses only on celebrating instead of evaluating the difficulties with his heritage as well.

SEMICONDUCTOR at FACT Liverpool

Inferno Observatory from Semiconductor on Vimeo.

In the work, these films have been re-contextualised to emphasise and examine three distinct relationships; the erupting volcano as all-powerful and humbling the spectacle as people gather to watch in collective amazement, photograph and be photographed and the taming of the volcano through scientific probing, measurement and human endeavour.
We’re really playing with the idea of the science documentary. Everyone is very familiar now with the very standard format of creating a narrative and a way of documenting science, and hopefully we’re challenging this.- SEMICONDUCTOR

ADA - an analoge interactive installation, by Karina Smigla-Bobinski.

ADA is a huge helium-filled ball trapped inside a room. Its surface is spiked with charcoals that leave marks on the white surface of the walls, ceilings and floors as it bounced from one side of the room to the other.

Lorena Turner: Made in China

For this project, items made and packaged in China were purchased in US department stores and bodegas. They remained in their original packaging until they were dusted for fingerprints and then photographed under black lights. This process allowed for the evidence of another's touch, quite possibly the person involved in constructing and packaging the item, to be revealed.
Made in China highlights the human factor and invisible history in each object's production, and forces us to reconsider the relationship those who are leaving their fingerprints on each item may have with it.
