| [rohrpost] ART OR SCIENCE PROJECTS IN VARIABLE GRAVITY |
Hallo rohrpost, eine wirklich aufregende projekt ausschreibung (oder wollte noch keiner von euch jemals den zustand der schwerelosigkeit testen?) Gruesse, jan > LEONARDO announces itsco-sponsorship of the: >> >> MIR Campaign: Opportunity for Art or Science Projects in VariableGravity >> >> >> >> OPPORTUNITY FOR ART OR SCIENCE PROJECTS IN VARIABLE GRAVITY (INCLUDING >> ZERO GRAVITY) >> >> and OTHER ARTISTIC PROJECTS at the GAGARIN COSMONAUT TRAINING CENTRE >> >> Call for Proposals ? deadline 21 October 2002 >> >> The MIR partnership invites proposals from European and Europe-based >> artists and scientists to undertake projects/research in variable >> gravity conditions on a parabolic flights or using other facilities, >> such as the centrifuge and the hydrolaboratory/neutral buoyancy facility >> used for EVA training, at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre (GCTC), >> Star City, Russia. >> >> A parabolic flight provides up to 20 cycles of 30-second periods of >> weightlessness (zero gravity/microgravity) in freefall, interspersed >> with period > s of double gravity (2g acceleration) and normal gravity. >> >> This is the pilot project of the MIR (microgravity interdisciplinary >> research) initiative, which seeks to open up space and space industry >> related facilities by matching artistic processes and scientific >> research to give a new impulse to space art and space research. >> >> The MIR partnership comprises 5 European art organisations focusing on >> art, science and technology: >> The Arts Catalyst, science-art agency, London, UK >> Leonardo/Olats, Leonardo journal of art, science & technology and >> Leonardo observatory for the arts and the techno-sciences, Paris, France >> Multimedia Complex of Actual Arts, Moscow, Russia >> Projekt Atol, arts-technology organisation, Ljubljana, Slovenia >> V2_Organisation, institute for the unstable media, Rotterdam, Netherlands >> The selection committee will be made up of representatives from these > organisations. >> > & > gt; The opportunity includes a cultural exchange and working trip to Moscow >> and Star City in early 2003, including the potential to participate in >> one or two parabolic ?zero gravity? flights with the GCTC. >> >> The opportunity is open to artists and scientists in any discipline, >> where the lead proposer is based in any European country, whether or not >> EU members. We will select up to 6 artists? projects and up to 3 >> scientific experiments for participation. >> >> For information and proposal form, go to: >> http://mir.v2.nl/ >> >> Please email your intent to make a proposal as soon as possible to : > mir@v2.nl >> >> The MIR initiative is supported by the European Union?s Culture 2000 > fund. -- realities:united jan edler / je@realU.de leipziger strasse 50 d-10117 berlin _________________________________ tel +49.30.283 911-40 fax -39 mob +49.179.3970654 _________________________________ http://www.realities-united.de new: http://www.bix.at ------------------------------------------------------- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.openoffice.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.openoffice.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
