minus delta t' and the Red Thread of Media Art
Experiment, Critique and Conversation
Ship Eleonore / Sun, 10:00 - 14:00
Meeting point: STWST entrance area
minus delta t' - experimental setup and experiment in electromagnetic space - time dilation by hydrogen radiation from other galaxies and the role of the information society.
The basic idea of the experiment on the ship Eleonore is that simultaneously arriving hydrogen signals of the universe testify to events which can be far apart in time. Thus the importance of a fixed observation position is derived. Seen from the position of the art, it is to be assumed that this physical realization is to be applied also to information systems or number systems. Everything becomes dependent on a single fixed position in a relative reference system. Art stands for us in an imaginary number system and information outside Shannon's information theory and has the task to give our information society new perspectives.
Experiment, critique and conversation on Sunday, 10.00 - 14.00 at lunch with Franz XAVER, Silvia Eckermann and Gerald Nestler.
