==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

==[[Yu Fan]]: Raumreisen & Zeitreisen==
Sind Zeitreisen und Raumreisen möglich? oder nur ein Menschheitstraum ....

Ich hoffe, dass Sie mit meine Arbeit irgendwohin gehen können.

"Ich schlafe in Praha , arbeite in Berlin, esse in Beijing, spiele in Paris.... Welt ist nicht so groß. Ich kann irgendwohin gehe, ob es auf dem Mond ist.

Haben Dinosaurier Haar? Warum ist die Maya-Kultur verschwunden? Wer tötete John F. Kennedy? Was ist der öffentlichen verkehr? Möchten Sie die Lösung finden? Fakten sind direkt vor Ihren Augen...

Warten Sie bitte ein Sekunde ... “

-- " I will build a new room, a room without a beginning and an end in which everything shall live and is summoned to live; which is at the same time quiet and noisy, unmoving unmoving and moving. It is to be high, as high as I want it to be; and low, f i want it low. It can be built as small as the smallest space or as large as a city, a state, or even a thought. The room, which is cheerful, vital, filled with color and movement is, at the same time tranquil and invites reflection without being demanding. It stands colorless and cold, in order to change as swiftly as a thought when I want it ... because it is both real and surreal, constructive and informal and colorful and intellectual and synchronous. It will require no art, because it is art, and the inhabitants of this room will become the greatest artists of our time. Everyone can become an inhabitant of this room. Try to find a room without a beginning and an end, and without limits. If you hold a mirror to a mirror you have a room without an end and limits, a room with unlimited possibilities, a new metaphysical space.

===Idea===
[[Image:YuFanSIP2009.jpg|right|thumb|400px|YUFAN Idea : Zeittunnel - "Space is The Place"]]
 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

#Stage

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Gedanken meiner Idee */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

The room, which is cheerful, vital, filled with color and movement is, at the same time tranquil and invites reflection without being demanding.

[[Image:YuFanSIP2009.jpg|right|thumb|400px|YUFAN Idea : Zeittunnel - "Space is The Place"]]
 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Gedanken meiner Idee */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams].

-- " I will build a new room, a room without a beginning and an end in which everything shall live and is summoned to live; which is at the same time quiet and noisy, unmoving unmoving and moving. It is to be high, as high as I want it to be; and low, f i want it low. It can be built as small as the smallest space or as large as a city, a state, or even a thought. The room, which is cheerful, vital, filled with color and movement is, at the same time tranquil and invites reflection without being demanding. It stands colorless and cold, in order to change as swiftly as a thought when I want it ... because it is both real and surreal, constructive and informal and colorful and intellectual and synchronous. It will require no art, because it is art, and the inhabitants of this room will become the greatest artists of our time. Everyone can become an inhabitant of this room. Try to find a room without a beginning and an end, and without limits. If you hold a mirror to a mirror you have a room without an end and limits, a room with unlimited possibilities, a new metaphysical space.

===Idea===
[[Image:YuFanSIP2009.jpg|right|thumb|400px|YUFAN Idea : Zeittunnel - "Space is The Place"]]
 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.
[[File:samorost-1.jpg|center|thumb|200px|]] [[File:samorost-2.jpg|center|thumb|200px|]]

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Gedanken meiner Idee */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

<gallery>

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.
[[File:samorost-1.jpg|center|thumb|200px|]] [[File:samorost-2.jpg]]

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Gedanken meiner Idee */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

<gallery>

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.
[[File:samorost-1.jpg]]

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Gedanken meiner Idee */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

<gallery>

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Gedanken meiner Idee */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams].

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Gedanken meiner Idee */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Gedanken meiner Idee */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

It is to be high, as high as I want it to be; and low, f i want it low. It can be built as small as the smallest space or as large as a city, a state, or even a thought. The room, which is cheerful, vital, filled with color and movement is, at the same time tranquil and invites reflection without being demanding. It stands colorless and cold, in order to change as swiftly as a thought when I want it ... because it is both real and surreal, constructive and informal and colorful and intellectual and synchronous. It will require no art, because it is art, and the inhabitants of this room will become the greatest artists of our time. Everyone can become an inhabitant of this room. Try to find a room without a beginning and an end, and without limits.

===Idea===
[[Image:YuFanSIP2009.jpg|right|thumb|400px|YUFAN Idea : Zeittunnel - "Space is The Place"]]
 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

#Stage
#* making experiments with the materials related to space and the figures to construct out of this material
#* finding an ideal story

#* final photographie work - taking pictures of the actual sets
#Stage
#* postproduction _ retusche - like making the pictures more detailed, contrasted and fix some shadow areas etc.

#* search for a publisher

calculated time for all parts: 1 year

==[[Stefan Bernhardt]] and [[Christoph Schreiber]]==
===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Gedanken meiner Idee */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

-- " I will build a new room, a room without a beginning and an end in which everything shall live and is summoned to live; which is at the same time quiet and noisy, unmoving unmoving and moving. It is to be high, as high as I want it to be; and low, f i want it low. It can be built as small as the smallest space or as large as a city, a state, or even a thought. The room, which is cheerful, vital, filled with color and movement is, at the same time tranquil and invites reflection without being demanding. It stands colorless and cold, in order to change as swiftly as a thought when I want it ... because it is both real and surreal, constructive and informal and colorful and intellectual and synchronous. It will require no art, because it is art, and the inhabitants of this room will become the greatest artists of our time. Everyone can become an inhabitant of this room.

===Idea===
[[Image:YuFanSIP2009.jpg|right|thumb|400px|YUFAN Idea : Zeittunnel - "Space is The Place"]]
 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Gedanken meiner Idee */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

-- " I will build a new room, a room without a beginning and an end in which everything shall live and is summoned to live; which is at the same time quiet and noisy, unmoving unmoving and moving. It is to be high, as high as I want it to be; and low, f i want it low. It can be built as small as the smallest space or as large as a city, a state, or even a thought. The room, which is cheerful, vital, filled with color and movement is, at the same time tranquil and invites reflection without being demanding. It stands colorless and cold, in order to change as swiftly as a thought when I want it ... because it is both real and surreal, constructive and informal and colorful and intellectual and synchronous. It will require no art, because it is art, and the inhabitants of this room will become the greatest artists of our time. Everyone can become an inhabitant of this room. Try to find a room without a beginning and an end, and without limits. If you hold a mirror to a mirror you have a room without an end and limits, a room with unlimited possibilities, a new metaphysical space.

===Idea===
[[Image:YuFanSIP2009.jpg|right|thumb|400px|YUFAN Idea : Zeittunnel - "Space is The Place"]]
 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Gedanken meiner Idee */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

Wikipedia: orbital photography [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_imagery english], [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellitenfotografie deutsch]

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

<gallery>

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams].

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

<gallery>

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams].

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams].

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams].

It is to be high, as high as I want it to be; and low, f i want it low. It can be built as small as the smallest space or as large as a city, a state, or even a thought. The room, which is cheerful, vital, filled with color and movement is, at the same time tranquil and invites reflection without being demanding. It stands colorless and cold, in order to change as swiftly as a thought when I want it ... because it is both real and surreal, constructive and informal and colorful and intellectual and synchronous.

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

It is to be high, as high as I want it to be; and low, f i want it low. It can be built as small as the smallest space or as large as a city, a state, or even a thought. The room, which is cheerful, vital, filled with color and movement is, at the same time tranquil and invites reflection without being demanding. It stands colorless and cold, in order to change as swiftly as a thought when I want it ... because it is both real and surreal, constructive and informal and colorful and intellectual and synchronous. It will require no art, because it is art, and the inhabitants of this room will become the greatest artists of our time. Everyone can become an inhabitant of this room. Try to find a room without a beginning and an end, and without limits.

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

#Stage
#* making experiments with the materials related to space and the figures to construct out of this material
#* finding an ideal story

==[[Stefan Bernhardt]] and [[Christoph Schreiber]]==
===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

-- " I will build a new room, a room without a beginning and an end in which everything shall live and is summoned to live; which is at the same time quiet and noisy, unmoving unmoving and moving. It is to be high, as high as I want it to be; and low, f i want it low. It can be built as small as the smallest space or as large as a city, a state, or even a thought. The room, which is cheerful, vital, filled with color and movement is, at the same time tranquil and invites reflection without being demanding. It stands colorless and cold, in order to change as swiftly as a thought when I want it ... because it is both real and surreal, constructive and informal and colorful and intellectual and synchronous. It will require no art, because it is art, and the inhabitants of this room will become the greatest artists of our time. Everyone can become an inhabitant of this room.

[[Image:YuFanSIP2009.jpg|right|thumb|400px|YUFAN Idea : Zeittunnel - "Space is The Place"]]
 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.‎

[[Image:YuFanSIP2009.jpg|right|thumb|400px|YUFAN Idea : Zeittunnel - "Space is The Place"]]
 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

-- " I will build a new room, a room without a beginning and an end in which everything shall live and is summoned to live; which is at the same time quiet and noisy, unmoving unmoving and moving. It is to be high, as high as I want it to be; and low, f i want it low. It can be built as small as the smallest space or as large as a city, a state, or even a thought. The room, which is cheerful, vital, filled with color and movement is, at the same time tranquil and invites reflection without being demanding. It stands colorless and cold, in order to change as swiftly as a thought when I want it ... because it is both real and surreal, constructive and informal and colorful and intellectual and synchronous. It will require no art, because it is art, and the inhabitants of this room will become the greatest artists of our time. Everyone can become an inhabitant of this room. Try to find a room without a beginning and an end, and without limits. If you hold a mirror to a mirror you have a room without an end and limits, a room with unlimited possibilities, a new metaphysical space.

===Idea===
[[Image:YuFanSIP2009.jpg|right|thumb|400px|YUFAN Idea : Zeittunnel - "Space is The Place"]]
 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

Wikipedia: orbital photography [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_imagery english], [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellitenfotografie deutsch]

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams].

Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).

Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

Wikipedia: orbital photography [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_imagery english], [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellitenfotografie deutsch]

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

#Stage
#* making experiments with the materials related to space and the figures to construct out of this material
#* finding an ideal story

#* search for a publisher

calculated time for all parts: 1 year

==[[Stefan Bernhardt]] and [[Christoph Schreiber]]==
===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

<gallery>

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams].

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

<gallery>

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams].

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams].

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

The plan is to produce artificial space pictures, photographs and an animated space to explore by using different materials and methods.
360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

===Installation Concept===

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==

I have decided that I would like to continue with the theme of Dreams in Space as I feel that this is would be a constructive and logical progression that my work could take, especially after the presentation that I put together for the class; as it opened up so many fascinating ideas that could be further explored and this theme holds more substance for me now, than the previous theme of ‘Elephant in Space’ that I originally chose.

''''"The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps" Carl Sagan, 1994.''''

I am interested in the idea of running a creative workshop with the children from the International school in Weimar – where by, I give them a task to draw how they imagine space to be. This could be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and the children to engage in a workshop or kind of ‘mini project’ that they have probably never encountered before, with the outcome being a possible mini exhibition of drawings – or other creations.

I will be speaking with the director of the school(Russell Marino) about my plans. I also like the idea of continuing this field of enquiry, because it allows more of a free way of working that would be interesting to me.

What effects do dreams have on children when they sleep at night? How might this shape their future? What if a child is inspired by my workshop and dreams about flying in space that night? This could also be integrated into the project as well. – and What an interesting way to record the dreams of children by influencing them in a positive way to maybe dream about being in space! There is the literal dream of wishing to be in space as well as the dreamt dream – it could be interesting to find out how the children deal with the information presented and to see what inspiration presents itself.
I imagine that the final outcome will take the form of a documented book. I would like to bring into this exploration my own photographic images. I would also like to continue working with still images, collecting and collating information, personal accounts, visceral metaphors and other materials too, for cohesion of this narrative. The continuation of finding stories, overlaid onto people’s personal accounts of dreams in space or dreams connected with space could be an idea that would allow for crossing both the innocence of youth and fantasy together with narration from differing age groups.

==[[Andreas Beyer]]: The Radiostar==

Since more than 100 years humankind uses technology for broardcasting content and for some physics reasons nearly 80% of that signals are just "lost" in space. That means the nearby outer space ( 100 ly orbit) is in a way a kind of radioarchive or a cultural documentation of hunmankinds ability to send signals with several technologies. I'm focused on the frequency band of ultra short wave radio signals. To explain this cosmic-international radioarchive, I want to create a navigationplan to "travel" through that archive. the installation will be a (selfmade) telescopebody (no tech inside) that can be moved in different directions to zoom into a model of that "radiohalo". The room, where the telescope will be placed, is prepaired with some small radiotransmitters (selfmade) to symbolize where some particularly broadcasts are "waving" in outer space. Inside that telescopebody will be some, i think maybe three, radioreceivers to get in contact with the transmitters and by moving that telescopebody the recipient can adjust the programm that sounds in the body of the telescope. (sorry for my bad english)

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams].

It is to be high, as high as I want it to be; and low, f i want it low. It can be built as small as the smallest space or as large as a city, a state, or even a thought. The room, which is cheerful, vital, filled with color and movement is, at the same time tranquil and invites reflection without being demanding. It stands colorless and cold, in order to change as swiftly as a thought when I want it ... because it is both real and surreal, constructive and informal and colorful and intellectual and synchronous. It will require no art, because it is art, and the inhabitants of this room will become the greatest artists of our time. Everyone can become an inhabitant of this room.

 Um mein Idee besser darzustellen, stelle ich meine Arbeit mit die zwei aus ' Raum ' und ' Zeit ' kommenden Grundstoff her, die 'Spiegel' und 'Internet' sind.
Für mich ist Spiegel eine magische Sache. Nach Reflexionsprinzip kann man einen 3D-Raum bauen, ist ohne Anfang und Ende.

'Das Internet ist ein weltweites Netzwerk bestehend aus vielen Rechnernetzwerken, durch das Daten ausgetauscht werden.' ( von wikipedia).
Das internet spielt heutzutage eine sehr große und wichtige rolle. Man kann durchs internet alles mögliche machen, freunde kennenlernen..informationen über alles finden...nachrrichten... Alles können Sie hier kriegen. Es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt.
 Internetbesucher kann nicht nur die Information über Vergangenheit und Gegenwart finden, sondern auch über den Ausblick in der Zukunft... Zeit, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der vier-dimensionalen Raum ist, wird durch Internet gut gezeigt.

 
Mit dem Technik von WII können alle Besucher eine Szene durch Internet auswählen. Die Szene wird gleichzeitig im Spiegelraum gezeigt werden . Darnach wird der Besucher in dem selbe gewählten Zeittunnel oder Raumtunnel stehen...
 
 
P.S. Ich stelle Spiegel, Kamera und Monitor am oben, damit der Tunnel verbogen werden kann.

[http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] ist online

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:
<videoflash type="youtube">hH8UMbzgIAE|340|300</videoflash>

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

==[[Henrike Schneider]]: The Feeling of Infinity ∞ ==
The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

The mainidea of the project is to find an installation, which creates this certain feeling.

360°, telescope and long exposure time photos could melt with photos of surfaces, mist (artificial nebula) a.s.o
 
 
The best way to present our work is probably an exhibition. A series of 9 photo prints (ca.30x45), a screen to show the flash animation and documentation and also a table or box to show the photographed objects.

==[[Bianka Langnickel]]: Bookproject: „space is my place“ – aren‘t we all aliens?==
for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about „outhere“.

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

====Have some fun with Flash and MIDI====
[[Image:StarSynth-MIDI-GUI.gif|right|thumb|250px|MIDI-GUI]]

Finally we finished our research in sending MIDI signals from Flash to other apps. To do so, we developed a little proxy app which sends MIDI signals. At first, Flash sends commands via a networking interface to the proxy app which acts as a server. Afterwards, the proxy app converts this data to MIDI signals which will be passes to a virtual MIDI interface. This interface is connected to our synthesizer. This allows us to control any MIDI-enabled app just as good as you would do it with controller hardware.

For testing purposes we coded a little framework which consists of some small classes and some GUI elements like buttons, sliders and a two-axis-panning field.

=====Current problems=====
# The whole synthesizer stuff is very very CPU intensive. So we have to optimize it or use a better machine (which is also difficult because of the software licenses).
# Sometimes there are big latencies when transfering the controller data from Flash to the synthesizer. Maybe it is also related to the CPU usage of the softsynths. We have to investigate this issue.

=====New possibility=====
# Because of the networking interface, it is also possible to use multiple computers to control the synths. So the interface can be run through another machine which is also better for performance reasons.

The moon has come into focus again in the great Space race. It has been forty years since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, now after the recent discovery of water on the moon a new interest has been sparked about finally heading back. In this new moon race has new contenders, the US and Russia are no longer in the lead. By 2015 it might be a Chinese man to be the next to step foot on the moon.

We conceptualize our project around dissolving the western ideals and myths about the moon and working with Chinese mythology and symbolism as our focus. . Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.

Our project is not just an installation, but also involves a performance piece. The installation itself takes place in the Basement room of Mereien Strasse 5, where its floors will be covered with fine ash sculpted to look like the lunar surface. The archway in the room is covered and shaped into a crescent where luminescent blue light, represents a lunar earth-rise.

Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper) and the same constellation built by cities on earth.

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]: Bring Them Back==

We took the stars from the sky

* Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses.
* I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.
* This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

==[[Xiaomei Wang]]==
===Gedanken meiner Idee===

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel [http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Für unserer Kurs möchte ich ein kleines '''''flash'''''-'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs'' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

[[Image:LuoYu.png|right|thumb|250px]]

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Syllabus */

==Beschreibung==

Seit der Entschlüsselung des menschlichen Genoms hat die Wissenschaft für Kunst und Kultur neue Brisanz entwickelt: Technik bestimmt nicht mehr alleine abgegrenzte Produktions- und Lebensbereiche, nun scheint der Mensch mit all seinen Eigenschaften selbst Gegenstand technischer Determination und Reproduzierbarkeit geworden zu sein. In einer Zeit, in welcher der Mensch sich selbst entwirft, werden Moral und kulturelle Zugehörigkeiten zunehmend fragil und austauschbar.

Während die Kunst unter dem Genrebegriff "Science&Art" Wissenschaft bis Anfang der 90er Jahre größtenteils in ihren Darstellungs- und Untersuchungsmethoden ästhetisch untersucht und ausgewertet hat, hat mit der Bioart in den 90er Jahren durch Arbeiten von z.B. Eduardo Kac, Natalie Jereminjenko und SymbioticA eine technikkritische und inhaltlich autonome Umgangsform in die Kunst Eingang gehalten, wie sie sonst nur in den wissenschaftsparodistischen Strategien 1910/20 er Jahre aufgetaucht waren (Duchamp, Max Ernst).

Das Projekt setzt sich mit den Fragestellungen der Lifescience auseinander und stellt die Frage, wo Kunst rund 10 Jahre nach dem Auftauchen populärer Arbeiten wie Kac's GFP Bunny sich befindet und befinden sollte.
Im Projekt werden künstlerische Positionen zum weltanschaulichen Impact wissenschaftlicher Methoden und Strategien vorgestellt, diskutiert und weiterentwickelt.

Die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Themenkomplex soll in der Artikulierung eines eigenen Standpunktes in Form einer künstlerisch/gestalterischen Arbeit münden.

Das Thema kann mittels klassischer Methoden wie Beobachtung und Zeichnung erfolgen, genauso wie mit zeitgemässen Erfassungs- und Darstellungsmethoden wie Fieldrecording, Sensorik, Bildmanipulation, 3D Modelling oder eigenen Experimenten und Laboraufbauten.
Künstlerische Arbeiten sind genauso willkommen wie angewandte Projekte zur wissenschaftlichen Dokumentation und Ausstellungsgestaltung.

==Glossar==

;Biotechnologie  :„Die Biotechnologie, eine der Schlüsseltechnologien des 21. Jahrhunderts, ist in besonderem Maße interdisziplinär. Je nach Aufgabenstellung erfordert sie Wissen aus der allgemeinen Biologie, das Molekulargenetik und der Zellbiologie, der Humangenetik und der molekularen Medizin, der Virologie, Mikrobiologie und Biochemie, der Enzymtechnologie, der Bioverfahrenstechnik und der Kybernetik; dazu in immer stärkerem Maße auch umfangreiche Computerkenntnisse, vor allem für die Bioinformatik und die Systembiologie.  Vor diesem Hintergrund nimmt es nicht wunder, dass es so gut wie keine kurz gefassten Lehrbücher gibt, die das gesamte Gebiet abdecken. Selbst vielbändige Monographien lassen meist wichtige Gebiete wie Tier- und Pflanzenzucht außer acht.“45 „Die Biotechnologie ist eine anwendungsbezogene Wissenschaft - viele ihrer Aufgabenstellungen haben wirtschaftliche Motive.“46

;Gentechnik und Zellbiologie  :„1973 gelang es Stanley Cohen und Fredeerick Boyer zum ersten Mal, ein fremdes Gen gezielt in einem Wirtsorganismus zu übertragen und dort zur Expression zu bringen. Von da ab dauerte es 10 Jahre, bis das erste gentechnisch erzeugte Medikament zugelassen wurde. Heute sind weit über 40 gentechnisch hergestellte Medikamente und Therapeutika zugelassen, {…} Hunderte befinden sich in der Entwicklung. Stand in den Anfangsjahren die medizinische Forschung im Mittelpunkt, so verfiel man bald darauf, die neuen gentechnischen Methoden auch auf landwirtschaftliche Fragestellungen anzuwenden. So züchtete man transgene Pflanzensorten, die Resistenz-Faktoren gegen Herbizide, oder Insektenfraß enthalten. Sie werden heute vor allem in Nordamerika in großem Stil angepflanzt. Auch die Erzeugung von Nutz- und Zierpflanzen mit verbesserten nutritiven oder dekorativen Eigenschaften und die Holzwirtschaft profitieren von den neuen Methoden der Gentechnik. In der chemischen Industrie wächst die Zahl der Syntheseschritte mit Hilfe von Mikroorganismen oder Enzymen (Biokatalyse), seit diese gentechnisch an die industriellen Erfordernisse angepasst werden können. {…} sind mittlerweile die Genome von über 50 Mikroorganismen und zahlreichen höheren Organismen, darunter des Menschen) vollständig sequenziert. {…}
:Das 1998 geborene Schaf ''Dolly'' was da erste künstlich aus den Körperzellen der Mutter klonierte und mit dieser genetisch identische Lebewesen.  Die Stoßrichtung derartiger Forschungsrichtungen z.B. der Embryonenforschung, und die atemberaubende Schnelligkeit des Fortschritts hat eine intensive gesellschaftliche Diskussion in Gang gesetzt. {…} Steht es uns an, Pflanzen und Tiere genetisch so zu verändern, dass ihre Produktivität an unsere wirtschaftlichen, ihre Toleranz an unsere Umweltbedingungen angepasst wird? Welche ökonomischen Umverteilungen ergeben sich aus der Beherrschung dieser Technologien zwischen Industrie- und Entwicklungsländern? Welche ökologischen Risiken lösen wir mit einem mutwilligen, vorrangig ökonomisch begründeten Eingriff in die biologische Diversität aus? Noch ist keine dieser Fragen verbindlich gelöst. {…}
:Ein wesentlicher Teil der neuen pharmazeutischen Wirkstoffe wurde entweder unter Verwendung gentechnisch erzeugter Targets entwickelt oder ist selbst ein rekombinantes Protein. {…} Auch in der Tier- und Pflanzenzucht, Grundlage für die Produktion von Lebensmitteln, finden gentechnische Methoden eine immer stärkere Berücksichtigung. Das Marktvolumen gentechnischer Produkte und transgener Lebewesen liegt heute bereits etwa doppelt so hoch und wächst schneller als das der traditionell erzeugten Fermentationsprodukte, von den alkoholischen Getränken einmal abgesehen.“47

;DNA Aufbau und Funktionsweise : Die DNA ist das Material aus dem die Gene bestehen. Die Hauptaufgabe der Gene ist das Herstellen von Proteinen.

;Proteine : Oswald T. Avery entdeckte 1944 die Nukleinsäure als Träger der Erbanlagen. Die DNA enthält die Bauanleitung für Proteine, diese wiederum sind für die Ausprägung von Merkmalen oder den Verlauf von Stoffwechselprozessen verantwortlich.  Die Grundbausteine aller Proteine bei Lebewesen sind 20 Aminosäuren. Deren Reihenfolge und die Kettenlänge definieren die Proteine, durch diesen Aufbau sind nahezu unendlich viele Variationen möglich. Man unterscheidet nach Primärstruktur - die Reihenfolge der Aminosäuren, Sekundärstruktur - wie ein Protein aufgerollt und gefaltet ist, und Tertiärstruktur- die räumliche Gestalt, die das Protein hat. Lebewesen haben individuelle, körpereigene Proteine, es gibt allerdings auch Proteine mit universellerem Charakter. Enzyme sind von ihrem Aufbau her hochmolekulare Proteine, die eine Andockstelle für ein Substrat besitzen. Ihre Namen enden auf -ase. Den Nichtproteinanteil bezeichnet man als Coenzym.

;Nukleinsäure : Nukleinsäure besteht aus langen Ketten von Nukleotiden, diese bestehen wiederum aus: Einer Phosphatgruppe, einem C5-Zucker-Ring und einer von vier Stickstoffbasen. Die genetische Information ist durch die unterschiedliche Basenreihenfolge der aufeinanderfolgenden Nukleotide kodiert.

;DNA : Die DNA (Dsoxyribonukleinsäure) ist aufgebaut aus dem Zucker Desoxyribose und den vier Basen Adenin (A), Cytosin (C), Guanin (G) und Thymin (T). Adenin und Thymin sowie Guanin und Cytosin sind komplementär: Sie bilden Wasserstoffbrücken aus und halten so die Doppelhelix zusammen. Der Lebenszyklus einer Zelle gliedert sich in die Phase der Verdopplung des Erbmaterials mittels Semikonservativer Verdopplung und der Phase der Zellteilung, der Mitose.48 Die DNA hat eine lineare Abfolge, dabei bilden je drei Basen eine Informationseinheit. Diese Basentripplet bezeichnet man als Codon. Bei der Bildung von Aminosäuren ist je ein Codon für den Einbau einer Aminosäure in das Polypeptid verantwortlich. Dabei codieren nicht alle Codons Aminosäuren, einige fungieren auch als Start- bzw. Stopp-Codons bei der Synthese von Aminosäuren. Aus der Länge von drei Basen je Codon und den vier möglichen Basen ergeben sich so 34, also 64 Kombinationsmöglichkeiten49. Es gibt als deutlich mehr Kombinationsmöglichkeiten als zu codierende Aminosäuren, man spricht von der Redundanz des genetischen Codes. Bei nahezu allen Lebewesen wird ein bestimmtes Codon in die gleichen Aminosäuren übersetzt. Der genetische Code ist universell. Dieses Fakt wird als Beleg für die gemeinsame Abstammung aller Lebewesen gesehen. Verschiedene Varianten eines Gens sind möglich, man spricht dann von Allelen.

;Translation und Transkription  :Die Realisierung der genetischen Information geschieht mittels Translation und Transkription.  Bei der Trankription wird durch die RNA eine Kopie des Gens erstellt. Dabei fährt die RNAPolymerase am DNA-Strang entlang und spaltet ihn auf, wobei mittels freier Nukleotide eine „Abschrift“ eines Teilstücks der DNA erstellt wird, die Messenger- oder mRNA.
:Bei der Translation wird die mRNA an den Ribosomen in die Aminosäuresequenzen der Proteine „übersetzt“. Die tRNA bringt Aminosäuren aus dem Zellplasma zu den Ribosomen. Die tRNA hat je einen „Anschluss“ für eine bestimmte Aminosäure und einen bestimmte „Anticodon-Anschluß“ für die mRNA. Ribosomale Proteine verknüpfen die Aminosäuren zu Polypeptiden. Durch Start- und Stopp- Codons erhält die mRNA die entsprechenden Informationen zur Steuerung der Proteinsynthese.

;Genexpression : Der Zusammenhang zwischen Gen und Merkmal ist schwer zu durchschauen, weil häufig mehrere (viele) Enzyme am Zustandekommen eines Merkmals beteiligt sind. Man spricht von der „Genwirkkette.“ Die meisten Merkmale sind polygen, also von mehreren Genen bestimmt. 

;Regulation der Genaktivität : Jede Zelle enthält DNA mit der gesamten genetischen Information eines Organismus. Während der Entwicklung werden bestimmte Gene aktiv, alle  anderen bleiben inaktiv, dies nennt man die differentielle Genaktivierung. Die mRNA wird nach einer bestimmten Zeit wieder abgebaut, damit nicht mehr Proteine als nötig produziert werden.

;Klone : Klone sind durch asexuelle Vermehrung aus einer einzigen Zelle hervorgegangen. Sie sind genetisch identisch. Unterschiedliche Merkmale im Phänotyp beruhen auf Modifikationen durch Umwelteinflüsse, oder sind im Verlauf der Entwicklung durch somatische, nicht vererbbare, Mutationen entstanden. Im menschlichen Körper gibt es rund 210 verschiedene Zelltypen. Totipotente Zellen können sich zu jeder Art von Zelle  entwickeln, pluripotente Zellen haben begrenzte Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten, können sich zu verschiedenen Zellen einer Sorte entwickeln, zum Beispiel einzelne Gewebe bilden.

;Seeanemonen (Actiniaria) 50 :sind solitär lebende, walzenförmige, sechsstrahlige Blumentiere ohne Skelett. Sie können sich durch langsames Kriechen auf ihrer Fußscheibe, mit der sie sich normalerweise auf hartem Untergrund festkrallen oder in Sand und Geröll eingraben, fortbewegen.  Ihr Körper ist muskulös. Die Größe kann, je nach Art, von einem bis 150 Zentimeter reichen. Ihre Tentakel sind einfach und in der Regel nicht verzweigt und oft durchscheinend. Manche Arten haben Nesselfäden. Vielfältige Formen an Fortpflanzungsmodi sind bekannt. So existieren getrenntgeschlechtliche, aber auch zwittrige Arten. Sogar Querteilung oder Abschnüren von Fußpartien kommt vor. Es gibt über 1000 Arten in allen Meeren vom Flachwasser bis zu 10000 m Tiefe. In europäischen Gewässern finden sich ca. 60 Arten.  Viele ausgewachsenen Aktinien fressen Fische, Krebse und Schnecken, andere nur Plankton. Einige Arten gehen Symbiosen mit anderen Tieren ein. So finden Anemonenfisch (Nemo) zwischen den Tentakeln Schutz vor Feinden oder heftet sich die Einsiedlerrose an die von Einsiedlerkrebsen bewohnten Schneckenhäuser (siehe auch Ektosymbiose). Systematik: Abteilung: Gewebetiere (Eumetazoa); Unterabteilung: Hohltiere (Coelenterata) Stamm: Nesseltiere (Cnidaria) Klasse: Blumentiere (Anthozoa) Unterklasse: Hexacorallia Ordnung: Seeanemonen (Anthozoa)

;Chromosom 55 : sich selbständig replizierendes DNA-Molekül mit mehreren Genen. Die Gesamtheit aller Chromosomen in einer Zelle ist der Chromosomensatz (Genom)  homologe Chromosomen56  die Chromosomen eines Paares, die u.a. in ihrer Länge übereinstimmen und an entsprechenden Orten (Loci) Gene dieselben Merkmale tragen. Je eines wird von der Mutter und vom Vater geerbt.

;DNA-Rekombinationstechnik 59 : Technik, die Genabschnitte verschiedener Herkunft in vitro rekombiniert und anschließend in Zellen überträgt, in denen sie bestimmte Proteine codieren können.  

;Semikonservatives Modell der DNA-Replikation 60 : Modell der DNA-Replikation, wonach bei der Replikation eine Doppelhelix entsteht, die aus je einem elterlichen und einem neusynthetisierten DNA-Strang besteht. Beide sind komplementtär, da jeder die Information zur Synthese des anderen enthält.

;  DNA-Sequenzierung 61 : Bestimmung der Nukleotid-Reihenfolge in einem DNA-Molekül  

;DNA 62  (Desoxyribonukleinsäure) :doppelsträngiges, spiralförmiges Nukleinsäure-Molekül, das sich replizieren kann und die ererbte Struktur der Proteine mitbestimmt.

  ;Ein-Gen-ein-Enzym-Hypothese 63  :heute aufgegebene Hypothese, wonach jedes Gen exakt ein Enzym codiert  

;Entwicklungsstabillität 64 : Präzision, mit der Organismen einer bestimmten Spezies die Stadien von der Befruchtung bis zur Reife durchlaufen und die dabei jedes Mal einen Phänotyp reproduziert, der als Exemplar dieses „Typus“ klar erkennbar ist.

;Excisionsreparatur 66 : schneidet bei der DNA-Replikation ein beschädigtes DNA-Segment heraus und kopiert es aus dem unbeschädigten Strang neu.  

;Exon 67 : codiertes Segment der DNA.  

;Fehlpaarungsreparatur 68 : beseitigt bei der DNA-Replikation falsch eingebaute Basen und ersetzt sie durch die richtigen.  

;Fließgleichgewicht 69  (engl. steady state) :Bezeichnung für das trotz dauernder Energieaufnahme und -abgabe bestehende dynamische Gleichgewicht in offenen physikalischen Systemen. Von großer Bedeutung ist das F. für lebende Organismen, deren Stoffwechsel einen ständigen Auf- und Abbauprozess leisten und dabei eine ausgeglichene Energiebilanz erreichen muss. Charakterisiert wird das F. durch die biologische Halbwertzeit, die Zeitspanne, in der die Hälfte einer Substanz im Organismus ersetzt wird. F.e werden über Rückkopplungsschleifen stabilisiert.

;Gen 70 : The basic unit of heredity; the sequence of DNA that encodes all the information to make a protein. Structurally, a gene is formed by three regions:  a regulatory region called the promoter juxtaposed to the coding region containing the protein sequence, and a “3’ tail” sequence. In mammalian cells, the promoter is a complex region containing binding sites for many proteins that regulate gene expression. A gene may be “activated” or “switched on” to make protein - this activation is referred to as gene expression - by these proteins which control when, where and how much protein is expressed from the gene. In the human genome, there are an estimated 28,000 genes.  Some of these are evolutionarily related and form “gene families” that express related proteins. There are also genes that no longer make a protein; these defective remnants of evolution are called pseudogenes.

;Gen 71 : DNA-Abschnitt, der eine RNA- und/ oder ein Polypeptid-Molekül codiert.

;homöotische Gene 72 : Gene, die den Gesamtplan von Tieren festlegen, indem sie die Entwicklung von Zellgruppen kontrollieren.

;Genexprimierung 73 : phänotypische Ausprägung von Merkmalen.

;Genkartierung 74 : Bestimmung der relativen Position verschiedener Gene auf einem Chromosom.

;Genom 75 : The complete set of DNA and genes of an organism. Genome size is generally given as the total number of base pairs in an organism.

; Genom 76 : Ein Genom ist die Gesamtheit der DNA eines Virus, einer Zelle oder eines Organismus. Das Genom enthält die Informationen, die zur Entwicklung (Ontogenese) der Bau- und Leistungsmerkmale eines Lebewesens oder eines Virus notwendig sind. Diese Informationen sind in der Basensequenz der DNA verschlüsselt. Daneben enthält es Basensequenzen, die strukturelle Bedeutung für die Organisation der DNA haben oder deren Bedeutung noch nicht bekannt ist.
:Bei mehrzelligen Organismen ist das Genom die Gesamt-DNA einer Zelle. Das Genom der einzelnen, ausdifferenzierten Zelle ist weitgehend dem Genom der Zygote, aus der sie durch mitotischer Zellteilung entstanden sind, identisch. Es gibt jedoch durch Mutationen und mitotische Rekombinationen kleine Veränderungen.
:Bei Organismen mit Kernphasenwechsel unterscheidet sich das Genom der Keimzellen vom Genom der Zygote ebenfalls durch Mutationen sowie durch meiotische Rekombinationen (siehe Meiose).

;Genotyp 77 : Gesamtheit aller Erbanlagen eines Organismus.

;Gentechnik 78 : Als Gentechnik bezeichnet man die Methode, Erbgut zu isolieren und dieses gezielt zu verändern und zu übertragen. Mit Hilfe der Gentechnik ist es möglich, einem Lebewesen eine ihm bisher fremde Erbanlage aus einem anderen Lebewesen gezielt und stabil einzubauen.

;Gentechnik 79 : Gezielte Übertragung von Fremdgenen in das Erbgut einer Zelle oder eines Organismus.

;Gradualismus 80 : Sicht der Erdgeschichte, die Veränderungen als kumulatives Ergebnis langsamer, aber kontinuierlicher Prozesse erklärt (Neodarwinismus).

;Thermodynamik, 2. Hauptsatz 81 : gibt die Richtung von Prozessen an und liefert ein Maß für die Umkehrbarkeit (Entropie) eines Naturvorgangs: So kann Wärme nicht von selbst aus einem kälteren in einen wärmeren Körper übergehen. In einem abgeschlossenen physikalischen System kann die Entropie nur zunehmen oder in günstigsten Fall gleich bleiben.

;Induktion 82 : Beeinflussung der Entwicklung einer embryonalen Zellgruppe durch eine andere.

;Intron 83 : nichtcodiertes Segment der DNA.

;Künstliches Leben 84 : Die Frage nach künstlichem Leben ist zweiteilig: 1. die Herstellung eines bekannten Lebewesens im Labor, und 2. die Herstellung neuer Lebensformen.
:1. Obwohl man nicht erwartet, mehrzellige Organismen in naher Zukunft zu erzeugen, ist es  schon gelungen, den Polio-Virus im Labor herzustellen. Damit ist es zwar gelungen, ein biologisches System zu erzeugen. Es konnte aber dabei nicht einmal auf die Mithilfe von Zellen verzichtet werden. Viren zeigen nicht alle Kennzeichen der Lebewesen, sind damit also per definitionem keine Lebewesen.
:2. Es gibt Vorstellungen, dass komplexe Computersysteme künstliche Intelligenz und künstliches Leben zeigen können (siehe KI und KL).

;Beginn des Lebens 85 : Eine naturwissenschaftliche Definition für Leben im Sinne von „lebendig sein“ korrespondiert mit der naturwissenschaftlichen Definition für Lebewesen. Wird für Lebewesen das genetische Programm, seine Funktionalität und seine Entwicklung als essentiell angenommen, dann ergibt sich für den Beginn des Lebens der Zeitpunkt, zu dem Moleküle als Träger des Programms und weitere Hilfsmoleküle zur Realisierung, Vervielfältigung und Anpassung dieses Programms dergestalt in Wechselwirkung treten und von einander abhängig sind, dass eine Einheit höherer Ordnung entsteht, die neue, emergente Eigenschaften aufweist. (...) Die ontogenetische Frage nach der Entstehung des Lebens beinhaltet die Frage, ab und bis zu welchem Zeitpunkt seiner Entwicklung ein Organismus als lebendig betrachtet wird.
:Daraus ergibt sich eine Möglichkeit zur Definition von Entstehung (und Ende) von Leben:
:Leben beginnt dann, wenn die emergenten Eigenschaften der Lebewesen entstehen, Leben endet dann, wenn diese Eigenschaften wieder verschwinden.
:Dazu ist es aber notwendig, alle emergenten Eigenschaften der Lebewesen zu kennen. Auf Grund der Komplexität auch der einfachsten Lebewesen ist dies prinzipiell nicht möglich. Deswegen tritt an die Stelle einer allgemeingültigen Definition eine Vielfalt von Entscheidungen, die durch Weltanschauung, Ethos, Religion, Moral oder Pragmatismus geprägt sind.

;How would you define life? 86 : Here is a definition. Life is about:
:''Growing''
:From birth to death, an organism grows. Plants, fungi, humans ... except for viruses, but are they living organisms?
:''Moving''
:Movement is the first thing that would tell you if one is alive or not ... although plants themselves do not move, there is movement inside.
:''Eating''
:Exchanging matter with the outer world is a sign of life: it starts with breathing, then ingesting matter (and its excretion), metabolising, and even talking and hearing (feeding those grey cells!)
:''Breeding''
:Life has this unavoidable property to multiply itself. Anything will do the trick. It seems we are just here to pass life around.

;Mikroorganismen 87 :Mikroorganismen spielen eine Schlüsselrolle im Stoffkreislauf. Sie sind als Destruenten am Abbau vieler Verbindungen beteiligt. Dieser Vorgang erfolgt sowohl in der Umwelt wie in Symbiose mit anderen Lebewesen ( Beispiele: Flechten, Darm- und Pansenbakterien). Als Pathogene bedrohen Mikroorganismen die Gesundheit anderer Organismen. In der Biotechnologie dienen ungefährliche Mikroorganismen zur Herstellung zahlreicher Produkte wie Citronensäure, Antibiotika, Xanthan oder Enzyme, zur aeroben und anaeroben Reinigung von Abwasser, Klärschlamm, Böden und Luft und als Wirtsorganismen zur Synthese rekombinanter Proteine. Aufgrund ihres verhältnismäßig einfachen Aufbaus, des breiten Methodenspektrums zur Herstellung von Mutanten und der kurzen Generationszeit dienen sie als Modellorganismen für die Untersuchung biochemischer, gentischer und physiologischer Vorgänge. Ihr völlig unterschiedlicher Zellaufbau erlaubt eine Unterscheidung in prokaryotische und eukaryotische Mikroorganismen. Die Prokaryoten unterteilt man weiter in Eubakterien und Archaebakterien.

;Eubakterien :sind einzellige Lebewesen. Sie vermehren sich durch Teilung. {…} Eubakterien zeichnen sich durch das Potential zu ungewöhnlich zahlreichen Varianten des Stoffwechsels aus, wodurch sie in der Lage sind, eine große Zahl von Lebensräumen zu besiedeln. Dabei überraschen sie immer wieder mit einzigartig evolvierten Proteinen und Cofaktoren.  So ist beispielsweise die Purpurmembran der Halobakterien eine auf diese begrenzte funktionelle Einheit, die Ähnlichkeiten zur Photosynthese und zum Sehvorgang im Menschlichen Auge aufweist.

;Archaebakterien (Archaea) :{…} Sie leben häufig ohne Sauerstoff und sind meist  auf die Besiedlung sehr spezieller Biotope spezialisiert. Beispielsweise sind sie die wichtigste Gruppe von Baterien, die aus Essigsäure Methan bilden - ein wichtiger biotechnologischer Schritt bei der anaeroben Schlammfaulung. Von den Eubakterien unterscheiden sie sich durch strukturelle und genetische Merkmale, {…} Die Funktion ihrer Enzyme ist oft an extreme Standorte angepaßt, was man in der Technik ausnutzen kann.

;Hefen und Pilze :Alle Hefen und Pilze sind Eukarioten. Im Gegensatz zu den Bakterien ist ihre Zellwand aus Chitin, selten auch aus Cellulose aufgebaut. Fast alle Pilze sind heterotroph und leben aerob. Die großen Unterschiede in ihrer Vermehrung bieten den besten Ansatz zu ihrer Klassifizierung. Der Vegetationskörper der Pilze ist ein aus Hyphen bestehendes Fadengeflecht (Mycel), das sich asexuell oder sexuell vermehren kann. Die asexuelle Vermehrung geschiet meist durch Sporenbildung, gelegentlich auch durch Knospung. Die sexuelle Vermehrung der niederen Pilzen (Phycomyceten) erfolgt durch Gameten, der höheren Pilze durch Fruchtkörpern, die als Schlauch (Ascomyceten) oder Ständer (Basidiomyceten) geformt sind.

;Monomere 88 : Bausteine der Polymere.

;Mosaikgene 89 : (engl. split genes) Viele Gene, die Proteine in höheren Organismen codieren, sind kein kontinuierlichen, sonder mosaikartige Sequenzen - bestehend auscodierten (exprimierten) DNA-Sequenzen (Exons) und eingestreuten langen, nichtcodierten Regionen (Introns), von denen man, zumindest anfangs, annahm, dass sie überhaupt keine Funktion haben.

;Mutabilität 90 : Rate von Mutationen pro Zeiteinheit.

;Mutagenese 91 : Entstehung von Mutationen.

;Mutation 92 : seltene Veränderung der codierten DNA, durch die genetische Vielfalt entsteht.

;Neodarwinismus 93 : (auch „Synthetische Theorie“) umfassende Evolutionstheorie, die die Bedeutung der natürlichen Selektion, des Gradualismus und der Populationen als den Grundeinheiten des Wandels betont.

;Nucleinsäuren 94 : biologische Moleküle (wie DNA und RNA), ermöglichen die Reproduktion von Organismen; polymere Verbindungen.

;Nucleotide 95 : Bausteine der Nucleinsäuren.

; Pflanzenzucht 96 : Vor etwa 11000 Jahren, in der „neolytischen Revolution“, begann der Mensch, Pflanzen anzubauen und ihren Ertrag durch züchterische Maßnahmen zu erhöhen. Als Ergebnis einer langen Selektion entstanden die heutigen Kulturpflanzen, die bedeutend mehr Biomasse, Frucht und Samen liefern, als ihre wildlebenden Urformen. Die Ernährung des Menschen und seiner Haustiere beruht überwiegend auf diesen Kulturpflanzen. Bereits heute sind allerdings etwa 1/3 der ca. 6 Mrd. Menschen nicht ausreichende ernährt. Da man mit einer Verdopplung der Weltbevölkerung in den nächsten 50 Jahren rechnet, kommt der Steigerung der pflanzlichen Produktion eine entscheidende Bedeutung zu. Ähnlich wie Mikroorganismen oder tierische Zellen kann man auch isolierte Pflanzenzellen in flüssigen, sterilen Nährmedien vermehren.

;Pilze 97 : Pilze spielen eine herausragende Rolle im Kreislauf der Natur, z.B. beim Abbau von Humus. In der Lebensgemeinschaft mit Pflanzen (Mycorrhiza-Pilze) helfen sie bei der Aufnahme von Nährstoffen, sind aber auch gefürchtete Pflanzen-Pathenogene (z.B. der Mehltau). {…} Unter den ca. 70 000 klassifizierten Pilzen bilden die Schlauchpilze (Ascomyceten) mit ca. 20 000 Arten die größte Gruppe. {…} Etwa 300 Pilzarten haben für den Menschen pathenogene Eigenschaften. Alle Pilze sind heterotroph. {…}

;Polymerasekettenreaktion PCR 98 :Die von Kary Mullis entwickelte Polymeras-Kettenreaktion (PCR) ist eine der praktisch wichtigsten Entdeckungen auf dem Gebiet der Gentechnik; ihr Erfinder wurde mit dem Nobelpreis ausgezeichnet. Bei der PCR wird ein kurzer, vorausbestimmbarer Abschnitt eines DNA-Moleküls viele Male von einer DNA-Polymerase kopiert.  Mit anderen Worten: Ein gewünschtes Genfragment kann selektiv amplifiziert werden. Eine derartige Technik ist sowohl bei der Identifizierung von DNA-Abschnitten wie bei der gentechnischen Bearbeitung von DNA von großem Wert. {…} Mit Hilfe der PCR können einzelne Abschnitte aus einer DNA sehr schnell kloniert und sequenziert werden.

;Transgene Pflanzen 99 : Die Bearbeitung von Pflanzen mit gentechnischen Methoden umfaßt nicht nur die Modifikation pflanzeneigener Stoffe („nachwachsende Rohstoffe“), sondern auch die Synthese von Wertstoffen in transgenen Pflanzen. Beispiele sind: 1. die Modifikation der Aminosäure-, Stärke-, oder Öl-Zusammensetzung und die Veränderung des Lignin-Gehalts von Hölzern, 2. die Expression Pflanzen-fremder Stoffe wie Antikörper oder A.-Fragmente (plantiebodies), Vakzine, menschliche Serumalbuminen oder von Biopolymeren.

;Modifikation Pflanzeneigener Stoffe:
:Um dem Mangel vieler Pflanzenproteine an essentiellen Aminosäuren abzuhelfen, wurden mehrere Wege erfolgreich eingeschlagen: a) die Expression günstiger zusammengesetzter Speicherproteine aus anderen Pflanzen, b) die positionsgerichtete Mutagenese eigener Speicherproteine zum Ersatz nicht-essentieller durch essentielle Aminosäuren, c) die Einklonierung von Genen deregulierter Schlüsselenzyme für verzweigte Stoffwechselwege, {…} Den Lignin-Gehalt von Hölzern reduzierte man durch die Modulation von Genen der Lignin-Biosynthese (Zimtsäure-Intermediate).

;Expression Pflanzenfremder Stoffe:
:Die meisten Untersuchungen wurden bisher in Tabakpflanzen oder in Arbidopsis thaliana durchgeführt, da sich diese Organismen besonders gut transformieren lassen. So gelang die Expression menschlichen Serumalbumins ebenso wie die Bildung vollständiger IgG-Antikörper, die mit Blick auf eine Karies-Prophylaxe gegen das Adhesin von Streptococcus mutans gerichtet waren; man erreichte dabei Konzentrationen von bis zu 1% des Gesamtproteins. Die preiswerte Expression von Antigenen in Pflanzen eröffnet möglicherweise die Chance, in Entwicklungsländern eine Vakzinierung mit der Nahrungsaufnahme durchzuführen. Im Modellversuch gelang es, das Oberflächen-Antigen des Hepatitis-B-Virus in Tabak in einer Konzentration von 0,01% des löslichen Proteins zu exprimieren, und die Verfütterung des Tabakmehls führte in Mäusen zu einer Immunantwort. Der Verzehr von Kartoffeln, die das zu Durchfällen führende hitzelabile Enterotoxin B aus E. coli exprimieren, bewirkte im Menschen ebenfalls eine Immunantwort. Exprimiert man das für die Synthese von Polyhydroxybuttersäure verantwortliche Operon von Alcaligenes eutrophus, das  aus drei Genen besteht, in den Chloroplasten der Arabidopsis thaliana oder Raps, so erhält man diesen abbaubaren Kunststoff preiswert durch Photosynthese. Die ökonomische Aufarbeitung dieses Polymers aus Pflanzen muss allerdings noch optimiert werden.

;Phänotyp 100 : Gesamtheit der physischen, physiologischen und molekularen Merkmale eines Lebewesens.

;Polymer 101 : großes Molekül, in dem viele identische oder ähnliche Monomere miteinander verknüpft sind.

;Polypeptide 102 : Polymere (Kette) aus vielen Aminosäuren, die durch spezifische Peptidbindungen verknüpft sind.

;Population 103 :Gruppe artgleicher Individuen, die in einem bestimmten geographischen Gebiet leben.

;Präformationstheorie 104 : biologische Entwicklungstheorie, nach der jeder Organismus durch Entfaltung bereits in der Ei- oder Samenzelle vorgebildeter Teile entsteht.

;Prokaryoten 105 : Prokaryoten (Prokaryonten, Procarya, Procaryota) sind zelluläre Lebewesen, welche keinen Zellkern besitzen. Ihr Zelltyp wird als Protocyte bezeichnet. Seit alle zellulären Lebewesen in drei Domänen eingeteilt werden, fassen die Domänen der Bakterien (Bacteria) und der Archaebakterien (Archaea) alle Prokaryonten zusammen. Die DNA befindet sich in prokaryotischen Zellen frei im Cytoplasma als Kernäquivalent oder auch Nucleoid. Außerdem sind prokaryotische Zellen nicht kompartimentiert und enthalten keine Organellen wie Chloroplasten, (...).

;Proteine 106 : dreidimensionale Polymere, die aus zwanzig verschiedenen als Aminosäuren bezeichneten Monomeren aufgebaut sind.

;Protein 107 : Proteins are made from individual amino acids whose type and order are determined by the genetic code in the cellular DNA. Common examples are structural proteins, such as the keratin found in hair, and functional proteins, such as the enzymes involved with controlling the chemical reactions with in a cell.

;Protein Design 108 : Unter Protein Design oder Protein Engineering versteht man die willkürliche Änderung einer Proteinsequenz mit gentechnischen Methoden. Man will damit :1. Hinweise auf den katalytischen Mechanismus eines Enzyms erhalten,  :2. Bindungsstellen für Substrate oder Antigene gezielt modifizieren, oder :3. globale Eigenschaften eines Proteins (Temperatur-, pH-. Protease-Stabilität, Allergenität, Löslichkeit) verändern. Geht man dabei von einer bekannten Proteinstruktur aus und verändert gezielt einzelne Aminosäuren oder Sequenzabschnitte, so spricht man von rationalem Protein Design. Führt man dagegen einen zufallsgesteuerten Austausch von Aminosäuren durch und selektiert die „Treffer“ so spricht man von gerichteter Evolution.

;Proteomics 109 : Der Begriff „Proteom“ wurde 1995 vorgeschlagen und beschreibt die Gesamtheit der von einem Genom kodierten Proteine. Bei höheren Organismen geht man davon aus, dass von einem Gen bei der Transkription und aufgrund posttranslationaler Prozesse im Mittel 10 Proteine gebildet werden. Unter Proteomics versteht man Untersuchungen zur Expression, Funktion und Wechselwirkung von miteinander verschalteten Proteinen auf der Basis eines Genoms (functional genomics).

;Proteomics 110 : The study of proteins, including how they are produced, how they interact, and what they do.

;Repression 111  :Abschalten der Expression eines Gens oder einer Gengruppe als Reaktion auf einen chemischen oder physikalischen Reiz.

;Repressor 112 : Protein, das die Expression von Operongenen unterdrückt.

;Restriktionsenzym 113 :Abbauenzym, das DNA erkennt und zerschneidet.

;in silico 114 : (lateinisch für in Silizium) bezeichnet Vorgänge, die im Computer ablaufen. Der Begriff ist eine Anspielung auf die Tatsache, dass die meisten heutigen Computer-Chips auf der Basis des chemischen Elements Silizium hergestellt sind (siehe auch Wafer). Ein biochemischer Vorgang  z. B., welcher in vivo im menschlichen Organismus abläuft, lässt sich möglicherweise mit Methoden und Algorithmen der Bioinformatik im Computer simulieren.

;in situ 115 : lat. am (Ursprungs-) Ort, am Platz; in der Biologie eine Abkürzung für die In situ-Hybridisierung

;SOS-System 116 :Reparatursystem, das die Präzision der DNA-Replikation zugunsten des Überlebens der Zelle opfert.

;Spleißosom 117  :komplexe Struktur, die beim Spleißen (Verkleben) von RNA mit den Enden eines RNA-Introns in Wechselwirkung tritt; setzt ein Intron frei und verknüpft zwei benachbarte Extrons.

;Stoffwechsel 118 : oder der Metabolismus (griechisch metawolismós - der Stoffwechsel mit lateinischer Endung) steht für die Aufnahme, den Transport und die chemische Umwandlung von Stoffen in einem Organismus sowie die Abgabe von Stoffwechselendprodukten an die Umgebung.
:Wesentlich für den Stoffwechsel sind Enzyme, die chemische Reaktionen katalysieren.

;Stoffwechsel 119 : Obwohl sich die vielfältigen Formen des Lebens auf der Erde über einen langen Zeitraum von ca. 3 Mrd. Jahren entwickelt haben, beruht ihre Replikation, ihr Bau- und Energie-Stoffwechsel auf der Variation weniger Grundprinzipien.  Die Zahl der beschriebenen Arten liegt bei  >1 Million, der Enzyme aber nur bei einigen 1000 und selbst der Mensch kommt mit einigen 100 000 Protein-Varianten aus, von denen viele sogar eine hohe Sequenz- und Struktur-Homologie zu einfachen Eukaryoten wie saccharomyces cerevisiae aufweisen. Über ihren Stoffwechsel bilden alle Lebewesen auf der Erde ein labiles ökologisches Netzwerk, in dem es Spezialisten für fast jede erdenkliche Kombination von Umweltbedingungen gibt („ökologische Nischen“). Dabei unterscheidet man zwischen autotrophen (können Metabolite aus CO2 aufbauen) und heterotrophen Organismen (benötigen dafür eine organische C-Quelle). Ein weiteres Unterscheidungsmerkmal ist die Fähigkeit, in einer O2-Atmosphäre (aerob, Gegensatz: anaerob) zu überleben. Trotz vieler Gemeinsamkeiten gibt es dabei auch zahlreiche Varianten, wie schon ein Blick auf die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten des Glucose-Abbaus über den Fructose-1,6-biphosphat-Pentosephosphat und 2-Keto-3-desoxy-6-phosphogluconat-Weg zeigt. Der neuerdings mögliche Vergleich ganzer Genome eröffnet dabei atemberaubende neue Einsichten in die Details der Bau- und Funktionspläne von Organismen, die an unterschiedliche Umweltbedingungen angepasst sind. Auch das Verständnis für die komplexen Regelvorgänge innerhalb einer Zelle, eines vielzelligen Organismus oder seiner Wechselwirkung mit der Umwelt (Systemdynamik, Biokybernetik) nimmt stürmisch zu und lässt sich immer besser in silicio modellieren. Bei biotechnologischen Aufgabenstellungen will man Stoffwechsel-Vorgänge meist beeinflussen, sei es zur Ausbeutesteigerung eines Produkts oder zur Eliminierung einer für die Züchtung oder die Produktion störenden Eigenschaft. Die traditionellen Methoden, Kreuzung und Zuchtwahl bzw. Mutation und Selektion, werden dabei nachhaltig durch die Möglichkeiten der Gentechnik ergänzt.

:Autotropher Stoffwechsel
: Organismen dieses Typs reduzieren CO2 zu  C-Quellen (primär Zucker) und benötigen dazu Energie. Phototrophe Organismen (Pflanzen, Algen, Cyanobaterien und andere) verwenden dazu verschiedene Formen von Photoreaktionszentren, die Lichtenergie in die chemische Energie von Adenosintriphosphat (ATP) umwandeln (ATP:„universelle biochemische Energiewährung“). Lithotrophe Organismen oxidieren zu diesem Zweck anorganische Stoffe (S, N, Metallionen). Autotrophe Organismen mit Bedeutung für die Biotechnologie sind beispielsweise nitrifizierende Bakterien und transgene Pflanzen. Bei der mikrobiellen Erzlaugung setzt man lithotrophe Bakterien ein.

:Heterotropher anaerober Stoffwechsel
:Organismen dieses Stoffwechseltyps setzt man zur Herstellung von Ethanol, Aceton, Butanol und Milchsäure ein. Sie gewinnen ATP aus dem Abbau von Zuckern. Die bei der anaeroben Schlammfaulung beteiligten Methanbildner gehören zu den Archaebakterien und verfügen über einige sehr spezielle Stoffwechselleistungen. Die Energie-Gewinnung durch anaeroben Stoffwechsel verläuft mit einer insgesamt geringen Energie-Ausbeute, was sich in schlechter Produkt-Ausbeute äußert.

:Heterotropher aerober Stoffwechsel
:Die meisten in der Biotechnologie verwendeten Organismen gehören zu diesem Stoffwechsel-Typ. Der Großteil der Energie wird über die Elektronentransport-Kette gewonnen, das sich aus dem Citronensäure-Cyclus speist. Mit 26-38 Mol ATP/Mol Glucose ist die Energieausbeute dieses Stoffwechseltyps hoch. Da aus dem Citronensäure-Cyclus auch zahlreiche Vorstufen für die Biosynthese abgezweigt werden (Oxalessigsäure, Bernsteinsäure usw.), findet man bei Hochleistungsstämmen für die Produktion von primären Stoffwechselprodukten wie Citronensäure oder Glutaminsäure Auffüllreaktionen (anaaplerotischer Stoffwechsel).

:Sekundär-Stoffwechsel
:Viele Organismen bilden Metabolite, deren Bedeutung noch unvollkommen verstanden wird. Oft handelt es sich dabei um industriell sehr wertvolle Verbindungen wie Antibiotika, Alkaloide, Farbstoffe und Aromen.

;Axolotl tanks 120 : are a technology in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert in the ‚Dune‘ series. Axolotl tanks are produced by the Bene Tleilaxu and serve as wombs in which a clone or ghola can be grown; in later books the axolotl tanks have been upgraded to be capable of producing the spice melange. During the final two Dune books, it is remarked that nobody has ever seen a Tleilaxu female - this is because females in Tleilaxu society are taken and turned into axolotl tanks by a process of genetic mutation. In essence, the women become huge, immobile wombs which are then used by the Tleilaxu Masters to grow whatever biological products are required, this being the reason why nobody has ever been able to duplicate the technology; however, in the final book Chapterhouse Dune the Tleilaxu Master Scytale is forced to reveal the means of creating the tanks to the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood.

;Synthetische Theorie 121 :Neodarwinismus.

;Tierzucht 122 :Seit der „neolithischen Revolution“ vor etwa 11000 Jahren domestiziert der Mensch Hund, Schaf und Ziege, seit etwa 8000 Jahren Rind und Schwein. Standen zu Beginn die Zähmung und Vermehrung dieser Haustiere im Vordergrund, so sind vorrangige Ziele der modernen Tierzucht die Erzeugung von tierischen Produkten (Fleisch, Milch, Eier, Wolle) mit verbesserter Qualität. In den letzten 30 Jahren hat sich die Leistung eines Fleischbullen mit >300 kg/a Fleisch und einer Milchkuh mit >10000 L Milch/a etwa verdoppelt. Kreuzung und Selektion erfolgen seit Urzeiten nach phänotypischen Merkmalen, deren Ausprägung genetisch oder umweltbedingt sein kann. Die klassischen Methoden werden dabei zunehmend durch bio- und gentechnologische Methoden ergänzt. Dazu gehören: 1. künstliche Besamung, 2. in-vitro-Fertilisation (IVF) und Embryotransfer, und 3. die Erstellung von Genkarten für Zuchtmerkmale. Transgene und geklonte Tiere werden bisher nur in der Forschung, nicht in der Tierzucht eingesetzt.

;Transgene Tiere 123 : Transgene Tiere, bei denen fremde Gene exprimiert (knock-in) oder eigene Gene ausgeschaltet wurden (knock-out) untersucht man für die Grundlagenforschung, als Tiermodelle für Erkrankungen des Menschen, für die Tierzucht und für die Produktion von Pharmaproteinen in der Milchdrüse (Gene Pharming). Das medizinisch wichtigste Tiermodell ist wegen der einfachen Zucht und der physiologischen nähe zum Menschen die Maus (Mus musculus, Adjetiv murin).
:{…} Für die Übertragung fremden genetischen Materials (knock-in) benutzt man meist die Mikroinjektion von Genkonstrukten, die ein Promotor, das gewünschte Gen in Exon/Intron-Struktur und eine PolyA-Signalsequenz enthalten. Die Rekombination solcher Vektoren in das Tiergenom erfolgt oft an mehreren Stellen und in mehreren Kopien. Zum Ausschalten von Genen (knock-out) wird deshalb die Transfektion embryonaler Stammzellen in vitro bevorzugt.  Mit replacement- oder Insertions-Vektoren, die homologe Sequenzen zum untersuchten Gen enthalten, aber nicht mehr für ein funktionsfähiges Genprodukt codieren, löst man durch crossing over oder durch indizierten Doppelstrangbruch die Rekombination aus und inaktiviert damit das natürlich Gen. Mitklonierte Selektionsmarker oder gene trap-Vektoren, bei denen ein Reporter-Gen in Exons oder regulatorische Sequenzen des endogenen Gens hineinkloniert wird, erleichtern die Erfolgskontrolle. Bei diesem gene targeting ist der Integrationsort eindeutig und es wird meist nur eine Genkopie integriert. Für das Ausschalten von Genen untersucht man auch antisense-Konstrukte. Nachkommen, die das neu rekombinierte oder das ausgeschaltete Gen in einigen ihrer Geschlechtszellen enthalten (Keimbahn-chimäre Tiere), benutzt man für die Weiterzucht und erhält so Founder-Tiere. {…}
:Großes Aufsehen erregte 1982 ein Versuch, bei dem man durch Mikroinjektion des Gens für Wachstumshormon in den Vorkern eines besamten Mäuse-Eis eine transgene Supermaus erzeugte. {…} Anfang 2000 waren über 500 transgene Mäusestämme kommerziell erhältlich. Da die Genomanalyse verschiedener Mäusestämme mittlerweile abgeschlossen ist, erleichtert die Analyse transgener Mäuse auch die Funktionsanalyse des menschlichen Genoms.“

;Bene Tleilax or Tleilaxu 124 : The Bene Tleilax or Tleilaxu are an organisation in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert in the Dune series of novels. The Bene Tleilax are genetic manipulators, equivalent in power to a major house in the Imperium. Not organized along feudal lines (as most of rest of the Imperium is), the Tleilaxu are secretive and very little is known about them. They are chiefly known for their biological products such as artifical eyes, gholas, and face dancers. The use of „Bene“ before their name suggests that they are an order of some kind, like the Bene Gesserit; this becomes clear in the last two books of the series.

;Transkription 125 : Informationsübertragung von einer DNA- auf ein RNA-Molekül.

;Translation 126 : Informationsübertragung von einem RNA-Molekül auf ein Polypeptid, verbunden mit einem Wechsel von der Nucleinsäure- zur Aminosäure-Sprache.

;DNA Vektoren 127 : Transportsysteme, mit denen fremde DNA in Zellen eingeschleust und in deren genetische Information eingebaut wird. Zum Beispiel Plasmide bei Bakterien.

;Viren 128 :Viren sind keine vollständigen Lebewesen. Sie sind keine Zellen, sondern Partikel und zur Replikation auf eine Wirtszelle angewiesen. Dabei sind sie zu einem hohen Grad wirtsspezifisch.

;in vitro 129  (lateinisch für im Glas) :bezeichnet Vorgänge,  die außerhalb des lebenden Organismus stattfinden, im Gegensatz zu solchen, die in vivo ablaufen. Wenn Vorgänge dagegen in der Bioinformatik im Computer berechnet werden, bezeichnet man sie als in silico.

;in vitro 130 : in Reagenzglas durchgeführter Versuch usw.

;in vivo 131 (lateinisch für im Lebenden) :bezeichnet Prozesse, die im lebenden Organismus ablaufen. Im Gegensatz dazu werden Abläufe, die im Reagenzglas oder ganz allgemein außerhalb lebender Organismen stattfinden, mit dem Begriff in vitro belegt. Man sagt also z.B., dass eine (bio-) chemische Reaktion entweder in vivo oder in vitro abläuft. Neuerdings hat sich für die Simulation von z.B. biochemischen Abläufen im Computer der Begriff in silico eingebürgert.

;Omne vivum e vivo 132 : „Alles Leben stammt von Leben ab“, Louis Pasteur Lebewesen können unter den derzeit herrschenden Bedingungen auf der Erde nicht spontan aus unbelebter Materie entstehen.  Die spontane Lebensentstehung auf der Erde unter den Bedingungen der Uratmosphäre wird damit allerdings nicht ausgeschlossen.

;Zygote 133  :Eine Zygote ist eine diploide Zelle, die durch Verschmelzung zweier haploider Geschlechtszellen (Gameten) - meist einer Eizelle (weiblich) und einer Samenzelle (männlich) - entsteht. Dabei verschmelzen auch die Zellkerne der beiden Geschlechtszellen (Befruchtung). Bei Mehrzellern entstehen aus der Zygote durch vielfache Mitosen (Kernteilungen) mehr- bis vielzellige Organismen.

Bioart wird ein immer populärer Kunst sein. Aber zur Zeit gibt es noch keine Museum, wo man Werke der Bioart darstellen kann. Deswegen möchte ich ein virtuelle Museum entwerfen.
*Dieser Museum würde wie eine Zelle aussehen und vom Wasser ausfüllen, wie eine echte Zelle. Natürlich wäre der 'Zellekern' die hauptsächliche Ausstellungshalle, in der drei Zonen geteilt wird.

Die erste Zone würde alle spezielle Show zeigen. Da kann man alles wissen, was die neueste Biotechnik ist.

Die zweite Zone würde die Entwicklung der Bioart ausstellen.

Die letzte Zone würde der Spielraum sein, in dem die Zuschauer individuell virtuelle Bioartswerke gestalten könnten.
*Der Tunnel würde ähnlich wie ein Spritze sein. Durch es kann man im Ausstellungshalle ankommen.
*Außer die ganze Ausstellungshalle wäre es ca.20 'Mitochondrien' geben, in der man etwas trinken oder essen kann.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Xiaomei Wang */

Im Kurs [[GMU:Space_Is_The_Place|Space is the Place]] entstehende Projekte:

==[[Hamish John Appleby]]==
I plan to bring attention to the senseless and disgusting way in which animals have been mistreated through space programs globally. The idea is to create a whole series of propaganda that centres around a certain country that plans to send an elephant into space in February 2012 for scientific purposes.'They' want to find out the results of how fast an elephant can blink its eye in real time zero gravity, as well as balance a ball on its trunk and whether the skin from an elephant can retain moisture... These are just some of the really important tests that will be conducted, in order to make scientific and technological advances in science, that in turn - will help humans... I want to create a Wiklipedia page, as well as have a mock protest in Markt platz, put articles in news papers, do drawings and paintings etc etc... People should not be able to tell if it is real or a joke: After-all, it could be really happening - The end result could be a book or small exhibition? - Is anyone interested in joining my project? I would be happy if anyone was... Or will it be just me and the elephant?

==[[Andreas Beyer]]==
==[[Kyd Campbell]]==

====Dreams : in the direction of the frontier====

keywords: space, frontier, dreams, dispersion, forward, ahead, distance, pathway, vibration, waves, western, cowboy, horse, self, psychedelia, utopia, horizon, beyond

Moving forwards towards towards a frontier.

I will produce a machine for self video recording and then film a short video metaphor.

The image will include a horse walking alone into the distance. In the image, a large rope, visibly attached to the camera point will lead towards the horse, as he is pulling the camera, filming himself.

I will construct a specialized cart for holding and stabilising the camera and a harness for attaching this cart to a horse. The horse will be instructed to walk in a straight line along a road in the countryside. The cart will be made of wood, well oiled.

The music for the video will be an adaptation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick Grace Slick's] 1980 solo song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XFA7MU9jg&feature=related Dreams]. The voice part of the original song will be written into a score for cello and recorded especially for this video.

VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware. We are trying to produce thus selfconsciousness by showing not the beauty showed in today's media. We want to have a look on the everyday reality of body and earth.
We are going to create a Website that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors can discover a picture there. We want to take them on a 24-day-long journey in order to get greater attention for this theme.

This is a preview on our online gallery:

[[Image:ENTWURF.jpg]]

Our concept bases upon two topics: The Innovation of Satellite Images & the Construction of the Human Body in the Media.

Our main focus is on the fascination of satellite images. Here are some interesting links to develop:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kartographie#Qualit.C3.A4tsmerkmale_kartografischer_Produkte

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellitenfotografie

The satellite pictures offer a special perspective on the earth:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH8UMbzgIAE

In concern to the photography of Human Bodies we especially dicussed the Individuality of everybody's external appearance. This is related to the individual appearance of the earth on satellite images.
People seem to be physically perfect in the modern media. But we know that is mostly manipulated:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fotomanipulation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFPGa0pKyTg

So what is physical individuality?

The Feeling of Infinity ∞ 

The world of science means numbers, calculations, effects and explanations.
The universe is a place to explore. Also here you find mathematics and calculations, time and space.
When everything is in order and part of the human knowledge - you get the feeling of "security".
The moon is turning with a certain speed around the Earth, the Earth - which has a certain mass and and an age is turning around the sun, which of course has a certain temperature and so on... .
But what about things you can not explain? To be more precisely - questions which occur to our mind like:
What is behind the universe and where is it all ending? Infinity.

'''''O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself king of infinite space...'''''
Hamlet

'''''If you remove a part from infinity or add a part to infinity, still what remains is infinity.'''''
Isha Upanishad

Exploration of Infinity:

===bookproject – „space is my place“ - aren‘t we all aliens?===

for me space is in general is a very undefined place. as i think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity
i will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. i am going to make an illustrated book for
children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground.
the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „alians“.
when the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story its more easy for them to get a connection between
the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „alians“ they build before to make
up further stories and play them within their family. so in the end their will be a book which provides a intersocial way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. it is „talking“ to different
senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and espacially the space more open minded and in a creativly way
of thinking about „outhere“.

#Stage
#* making experiments with the materials related to space and the figures to construct out of this material
#* finding an ideal story
#Stage
#* creating all of the figures
#* build sets where the figures act in
#Stage
#* testing photographie equipment and lighting, composition etc.
#* final photographie work - taking pictures of the actual sets
#Stage
#* postproduction _ retusche - like making the pictures more detailed, contrasted and fix some shadow areas etc.
#Stage
#* illustrate the be-creative part
#Stage
#* search for a publisher

calculated time for all parts: 1 year

===Creating a self-playing instrument===
We want to create a self-playing instrument that uses a map of stars for creating soundscapes. The user should be able to change the snippet of the map, draw and edit zodiac signs and start and stop sounds.

When a star is clicked, it makes a noise and a shockwave comes up. It evolves through the space and activates other stars and items on its way which also make sounds and send new shockwaves. So the application doesn't need any user input to go on but the user can take influence on the continuity.

If a zodiac sign gets activated all linked stars will start making tones at the same time.

====Two methods: Samples or MIDI====
At the moment there are two techniques for realizing this idea:

# We render samples of the instruments and embed them in our application. It's easier to develop but very limited in functionality. The application could be distributed via web because no special hard- or software is needed.
# We send MIDI events to an external software synthesizer which will create the sounds. This requires a powerful machine and much research but is more powerful in the aspect of flexibility and creativity. The application needs some additional software to be running in the background so it won't be capable to be distributed as out-of-the-box experience.

==[[Alex Schumann]]==
==[[Katarina Sengstaken]], [[Timea Tofalvi]], [[Yuxiang Wen]], and [[Shuo Liu]]: A Faraway Cold Palace (广寒宫)==
===Installation Concept===
A faraway Cold Palace is a room installation featuring sound, lights, leaves, and dust to abstractly simulate the feeling of being on the moon. Our concept of the moon stems from the three Chinese moon myths the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e/ Chang'e] 嫦娥, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Gang/ Wu Gang]吴刚 , and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit/ Jade Rabbit] 玉兔. These three myths revolve around a mystical laurel tree that grows on the moon.
We will use sound to represent the myths, the sound of an axe chopping at the tree to illustrate the story of Wu Gang, a fan flapping for the story of Chang’e, and the sound of a mortar grinding as representation of the Jade rabbit story. As for the tree it’s represented by white bay leaves tied to translucent string attached to mechanical pulleys in the ceiling that will slowly raise and drop the leaves.
The room is lit by black lights that run along the base of the walls. The floor is covered with gray dust spotted with craters with constructed dust free walkways, to give the impression of the moons surface.

Our project comes from the recent discovery and search for water on the moon. That raised the question for us, on what life on the moon would be like, and what alien lifeforms would be like. Which brought us to discussing mythology, especially Chinese myths about the moon, and so is our pieces inspiration.

==[[Daniela Stade]]: To Fetch The Stars From Heaven==

===The Idea===
We know constellations in heaven, for example the zodiac. The International Atronomical Union(IAU) published a list of 88 constellations. I want to find similar constellations on earth, which are formed by cities.

I am going to find these constellations by pictures of a satellite.
Here you can see the Ursa Major (der große Wagen/the big dipper):

[[Image:Der_große_Wagen1.jpg]]

And here you can see the same constellation built by cities on earth:

[[Image:Der_große_Wagen.jpg]]

Maybe I am going to create a new type of starmap, but up to now i am not sure.

==[[Jan Frederik Vogt]]==

===Bring Them Back===

We took the stars from the sky

– Stars are used by us. You can find them in logos, distinctions, decorations, jewellery, names, pictures and many other uses. –

I want to collect them and bring them back to where they belong to.

– This will show the different meanings and usages of stars in our society.

At the end of the semester I want to exhibit all the pieces I have found by then. I will build a star-spattered sky out of my collection at the ceiling. So the visitors of the exhibition have to climb on a ladder or a chair to have a closer look at it.

'''Gedanken meiner Idee'''

*Vor ein paar Jahren hat man schon begonnen, die Spiele über das Thema des Weltraums zu designen. Z.B. das sehr bekannte Abendteuer-Spiel ''Samorost''. Es zeigte uns eine interessante Geschichte, die der Weltraum als Hintergrund gestaltet wird.

[http://www.amanita-design.net/samorost-1 Samorost]

*Rund 2008 haben Pyramide(USA-Firma) mit Spaceweb(China-Firma) ein 3D Spiel designt, in dem die Spieler das Shenzhou Raumschiff virtuell kontrollieren könnten. Beispielweise kann man durch ''mission editor'', ''vehicle editor'', ''control panel editor'' und ''AI'' den Raumschiff spielen, damit man es im Weltraum zu senden.

*Wenn ein Spiel immer in einer Form durchführt, bzw. nur von puzzle oder nur von Technik, würde es schneller trocken sein. Dann könnten wir in einem kleinen Spiel mit die beiden Formen mischen und realisieren.
Obwohl es schon ähnliche SpaceSpiele gibt, möchte ich noch ein kleines '''''flashspiel''''' machen, über diese sehr begeisterte Richtung. Weil der Weltraum so viele Überaschung und Fantasie hätte, könnte man natürlich schöne Geschichte vorstellen und interessante Inhalte für mein Projekt finden.

'''Konzepte'''
*Spieldesign'' das ganze Leben des Raumschiffs''
Dieses Spiel wird in verschiedenen Nivea gestalten.

==[[Luo Yu]]: The Virtual Solar System (3D Online-Platform)==

====The Idea====

We live in the solar system and it is our nearest galaxy. I would like to make a simulation for the solar system, the initial idea is to use flash platform with ActionScript programming, I want to design a virtual mini-universe and will make this space into a virtual online exhibition, people will be able to access this place through the network.

I will design a virtual space with the solar system's nine planets, nebulae and all kinds of meteorites analog out. The Visitors can make use of the mouse and keyboard keys such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the whole space random wandering. To make the simulation more realistic, I will collect the texture first. Of course I can design a variety of sound effects too, for example: when I click a planet, it will send an interesting sound. Although that is a simulation of the solar system, but I will give this space a particular style, and the website will receive a seemly interfaces-design.

2009-11-25T22:38:15Z

Xiaomeiwang: /* Syllabus */

==Beschreibung==
Das Weltall und dessen zweidimensionale Aufsicht, Himmel genannt, war für Künstler immer eine bedeutende Inspiration.
Die Beobachtung der Sterne und ihrer Himmelsmechanik führte zur radikalen Einsicht, das nicht die Erde im Mittelpunkt des Systems steht. Mit der Kenntnis der Sternenhimmels wurde Navigation möglich, und damit die Eroberung und Vermessung der Welt. Konstellationen wurden gedeutet und figürlich interpretiert. Für unseren Alltag haben die Sterne an Bedeutung verloren. Dafür kommt nicht nur das Fernsehen per Satellit, sondern auch Telekommunikation, Positionsbestimmung und Geotagging basieren auf künstlichen Himmelskörpern, die Wettervorhersage schon seit Jahrzehnten. Das Militär nutzt die Möglichkeiten der Aufklärung und Spionage und seit ein paar Jahren hat sogar jeder von seinem PC aus die Möglichkeit auf orbitale Photographien zuzugreifen.

Space is the Place ist ein Film mit der Jazzlegende Sun Ra von 1972 in dem er seine afrozentristische Weltsicht in eine Metaphorische Geschichte verpackt. Elemente der für die Black Community identitätsstiftenden Mosesgeschichte, die Vertreibung aus dem heiligen Land, werden auf dem Weltraum und die Aliens übersetzt. Saturn ist ausgemacht als Ursprung und Ziel zu dem umgesiedelt werden kann bevor die Erde zerstört wird. bei Afrika Bambaataa, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins tauchen diese Methaphern der Mothership connection wieder auf.

Zeitgenössische Künstler wie Tom Sachs, Olaf Nicolai, Thomas Ruff, Ingo Günther, Olafur Eliasson, Ilya & Emilia Kabakov, Roman Signer, Rebecca Horn, William Kentridge, Nam June Paik, Brian Springer uvm greifen das Thema Weltraum auf um eigenständige Positionen zu beziehen.

Im Fachmodul werden wir Satelliten beobachten, Umlaufbahnen berechnen, Steuerungen programmieren, Positionen bestimmen, Sterne deuten, Horoskope interpretieren, Kunst verstehen, Theorien nachvollziehen und eine Sternwarte besuchen um durch ein Teleskop zu sehen.

Prof. Nathalie Singer und Mareike Maage bieten ein Projekt - allerdings für Undergraduate-Studenten - zum Thema passend an.

Xiaomeiwang: /* Vorträge */

==Beschreibung==

Seit der Entschlüsselung des menschlichen Genoms hat die Wissenschaft für Kunst und Kultur neue Brisanz entwickelt: Technik bestimmt nicht mehr alleine abgegrenzte Produktions- und Lebensbereiche, nun scheint der Mensch mit all seinen Eigenschaften selbst Gegenstand technischer Determination und Reproduzierbarkeit geworden zu sein. In einer Zeit, in welcher der Mensch sich selbst entwirft, werden Moral und kulturelle Zugehörigkeiten zunehmend fragil und austauschbar.

Während die Kunst unter dem Genrebegriff "Science&Art" Wissenschaft bis Anfang der 90er Jahre größtenteils in ihren Darstellungs- und Untersuchungsmethoden ästhetisch untersucht und ausgewertet hat, hat mit der Bioart in den 90er Jahren durch Arbeiten von z.B. Eduardo Kac, Natalie Jereminjenko und SymbioticA eine technikkritische und inhaltlich autonome Umgangsform in die Kunst Eingang gehalten, wie sie sonst nur in den wissenschaftsparodistischen Strategien 1910/20 er Jahre aufgetaucht waren (Duchamp, Max Ernst).

Das Projekt setzt sich mit den Fragestellungen der Lifescience auseinander und stellt die Frage, wo Kunst rund 10 Jahre nach dem Auftauchen populärer Arbeiten wie Kac's GFP Bunny sich befindet und befinden sollte.
Im Projekt werden künstlerische Positionen zum weltanschaulichen Impact wissenschaftlicher Methoden und Strategien vorgestellt, diskutiert und weiterentwickelt.

Die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Themenkomplex soll in der Artikulierung eines eigenen Standpunktes in Form einer künstlerisch/gestalterischen Arbeit münden.

Das Thema kann mittels klassischer Methoden wie Beobachtung und Zeichnung erfolgen, genauso wie mit zeitgemässen Erfassungs- und Darstellungsmethoden wie Fieldrecording, Sensorik, Bildmanipulation, 3D Modelling oder eigenen Experimenten und Laboraufbauten.
Künstlerische Arbeiten sind genauso willkommen wie angewandte Projekte zur wissenschaftlichen Dokumentation und Ausstellungsgestaltung.

==Glossar==

;Biotechnologie  :„Die Biotechnologie, eine der Schlüsseltechnologien des 21. Jahrhunderts, ist in besonderem Maße interdisziplinär. Je nach Aufgabenstellung erfordert sie Wissen aus der allgemeinen Biologie, das Molekulargenetik und der Zellbiologie, der Humangenetik und der molekularen Medizin, der Virologie, Mikrobiologie und Biochemie, der Enzymtechnologie, der Bioverfahrenstechnik und der Kybernetik; dazu in immer stärkerem Maße auch umfangreiche Computerkenntnisse, vor allem für die Bioinformatik und die Systembiologie.  Vor diesem Hintergrund nimmt es nicht wunder, dass es so gut wie keine kurz gefassten Lehrbücher gibt, die das gesamte Gebiet abdecken. Selbst vielbändige Monographien lassen meist wichtige Gebiete wie Tier- und Pflanzenzucht außer acht.“45 „Die Biotechnologie ist eine anwendungsbezogene Wissenschaft - viele ihrer Aufgabenstellungen haben wirtschaftliche Motive.“46

;Gentechnik und Zellbiologie  :„1973 gelang es Stanley Cohen und Fredeerick Boyer zum ersten Mal, ein fremdes Gen gezielt in einem Wirtsorganismus zu übertragen und dort zur Expression zu bringen. Von da ab dauerte es 10 Jahre, bis das erste gentechnisch erzeugte Medikament zugelassen wurde. Heute sind weit über 40 gentechnisch hergestellte Medikamente und Therapeutika zugelassen, {…} Hunderte befinden sich in der Entwicklung. Stand in den Anfangsjahren die medizinische Forschung im Mittelpunkt, so verfiel man bald darauf, die neuen gentechnischen Methoden auch auf landwirtschaftliche Fragestellungen anzuwenden. So züchtete man transgene Pflanzensorten, die Resistenz-Faktoren gegen Herbizide, oder Insektenfraß enthalten. Sie werden heute vor allem in Nordamerika in großem Stil angepflanzt. Auch die Erzeugung von Nutz- und Zierpflanzen mit verbesserten nutritiven oder dekorativen Eigenschaften und die Holzwirtschaft profitieren von den neuen Methoden der Gentechnik. In der chemischen Industrie wächst die Zahl der Syntheseschritte mit Hilfe von Mikroorganismen oder Enzymen (Biokatalyse), seit diese gentechnisch an die industriellen Erfordernisse angepasst werden können. {…} sind mittlerweile die Genome von über 50 Mikroorganismen und zahlreichen höheren Organismen, darunter des Menschen) vollständig sequenziert. {…}
:Das 1998 geborene Schaf ''Dolly'' was da erste künstlich aus den Körperzellen der Mutter klonierte und mit dieser genetisch identische Lebewesen.  Die Stoßrichtung derartiger Forschungsrichtungen z.B. der Embryonenforschung, und die atemberaubende Schnelligkeit des Fortschritts hat eine intensive gesellschaftliche Diskussion in Gang gesetzt. {…} Steht es uns an, Pflanzen und Tiere genetisch so zu verändern, dass ihre Produktivität an unsere wirtschaftlichen, ihre Toleranz an unsere Umweltbedingungen angepasst wird? Welche ökonomischen Umverteilungen ergeben sich aus der Beherrschung dieser Technologien zwischen Industrie- und Entwicklungsländern? Welche ökologischen Risiken lösen wir mit einem mutwilligen, vorrangig ökonomisch begründeten Eingriff in die biologische Diversität aus? Noch ist keine dieser Fragen verbindlich gelöst. {…}
:Ein wesentlicher Teil der neuen pharmazeutischen Wirkstoffe wurde entweder unter Verwendung gentechnisch erzeugter Targets entwickelt oder ist selbst ein rekombinantes Protein. {…} Auch in der Tier- und Pflanzenzucht, Grundlage für die Produktion von Lebensmitteln, finden gentechnische Methoden eine immer stärkere Berücksichtigung. Das Marktvolumen gentechnischer Produkte und transgener Lebewesen liegt heute bereits etwa doppelt so hoch und wächst schneller als das der traditionell erzeugten Fermentationsprodukte, von den alkoholischen Getränken einmal abgesehen.“47

;DNA Aufbau und Funktionsweise : Die DNA ist das Material aus dem die Gene bestehen. Die Hauptaufgabe der Gene ist das Herstellen von Proteinen.

;Proteine : Oswald T. Avery entdeckte 1944 die Nukleinsäure als Träger der Erbanlagen. Die DNA enthält die Bauanleitung für Proteine, diese wiederum sind für die Ausprägung von Merkmalen oder den Verlauf von Stoffwechselprozessen verantwortlich.  Die Grundbausteine aller Proteine bei Lebewesen sind 20 Aminosäuren. Deren Reihenfolge und die Kettenlänge definieren die Proteine, durch diesen Aufbau sind nahezu unendlich viele Variationen möglich. Man unterscheidet nach Primärstruktur - die Reihenfolge der Aminosäuren, Sekundärstruktur - wie ein Protein aufgerollt und gefaltet ist, und Tertiärstruktur- die räumliche Gestalt, die das Protein hat. Lebewesen haben individuelle, körpereigene Proteine, es gibt allerdings auch Proteine mit universellerem Charakter. Enzyme sind von ihrem Aufbau her hochmolekulare Proteine, die eine Andockstelle für ein Substrat besitzen. Ihre Namen enden auf -ase. Den Nichtproteinanteil bezeichnet man als Coenzym.

;Nukleinsäure : Nukleinsäure besteht aus langen Ketten von Nukleotiden, diese bestehen wiederum aus: Einer Phosphatgruppe, einem C5-Zucker-Ring und einer von vier Stickstoffbasen. Die genetische Information ist durch die unterschiedliche Basenreihenfolge der aufeinanderfolgenden Nukleotide kodiert.

;DNA : Die DNA (Dsoxyribonukleinsäure) ist aufgebaut aus dem Zucker Desoxyribose und den vier Basen Adenin (A), Cytosin (C), Guanin (G) und Thymin (T). Adenin und Thymin sowie Guanin und Cytosin sind komplementär: Sie bilden Wasserstoffbrücken aus und halten so die Doppelhelix zusammen. Der Lebenszyklus einer Zelle gliedert sich in die Phase der Verdopplung des Erbmaterials mittels Semikonservativer Verdopplung und der Phase der Zellteilung, der Mitose.48 Die DNA hat eine lineare Abfolge, dabei bilden je drei Basen eine Informationseinheit. Diese Basentripplet bezeichnet man als Codon. Bei der Bildung von Aminosäuren ist je ein Codon für den Einbau einer Aminosäure in das Polypeptid verantwortlich. Dabei codieren nicht alle Codons Aminosäuren, einige fungieren auch als Start- bzw. Stopp-Codons bei der Synthese von Aminosäuren. Aus der Länge von drei Basen je Codon und den vier möglichen Basen ergeben sich so 34, also 64 Kombinationsmöglichkeiten49. Es gibt als deutlich mehr Kombinationsmöglichkeiten als zu codierende Aminosäuren, man spricht von der Redundanz des genetischen Codes. Bei nahezu allen Lebewesen wird ein bestimmtes Codon in die gleichen Aminosäuren übersetzt. Der genetische Code ist universell. Dieses Fakt wird als Beleg für die gemeinsame Abstammung aller Lebewesen gesehen. Verschiedene Varianten eines Gens sind möglich, man spricht dann von Allelen.

;Translation und Transkription  :Die Realisierung der genetischen Information geschieht mittels Translation und Transkription.  Bei der Trankription wird durch die RNA eine Kopie des Gens erstellt. Dabei fährt die RNAPolymerase am DNA-Strang entlang und spaltet ihn auf, wobei mittels freier Nukleotide eine „Abschrift“ eines Teilstücks der DNA erstellt wird, die Messenger- oder mRNA.
:Bei der Translation wird die mRNA an den Ribosomen in die Aminosäuresequenzen der Proteine „übersetzt“. Die tRNA bringt Aminosäuren aus dem Zellplasma zu den Ribosomen. Die tRNA hat je einen „Anschluss“ für eine bestimmte Aminosäure und einen bestimmte „Anticodon-Anschluß“ für die mRNA. Ribosomale Proteine verknüpfen die Aminosäuren zu Polypeptiden. Durch Start- und Stopp- Codons erhält die mRNA die entsprechenden Informationen zur Steuerung der Proteinsynthese.

;Genexpression : Der Zusammenhang zwischen Gen und Merkmal ist schwer zu durchschauen, weil häufig mehrere (viele) Enzyme am Zustandekommen eines Merkmals beteiligt sind. Man spricht von der „Genwirkkette.“ Die meisten Merkmale sind polygen, also von mehreren Genen bestimmt. 

;Regulation der Genaktivität : Jede Zelle enthält DNA mit der gesamten genetischen Information eines Organismus. Während der Entwicklung werden bestimmte Gene aktiv, alle  anderen bleiben inaktiv, dies nennt man die differentielle Genaktivierung. Die mRNA wird nach einer bestimmten Zeit wieder abgebaut, damit nicht mehr Proteine als nötig produziert werden.

;Klone : Klone sind durch asexuelle Vermehrung aus einer einzigen Zelle hervorgegangen. Sie sind genetisch identisch. Unterschiedliche Merkmale im Phänotyp beruhen auf Modifikationen durch Umwelteinflüsse, oder sind im Verlauf der Entwicklung durch somatische, nicht vererbbare, Mutationen entstanden. Im menschlichen Körper gibt es rund 210 verschiedene Zelltypen. Totipotente Zellen können sich zu jeder Art von Zelle  entwickeln, pluripotente Zellen haben begrenzte Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten, können sich zu verschiedenen Zellen einer Sorte entwickeln, zum Beispiel einzelne Gewebe bilden.

;Seeanemonen (Actiniaria) 50 :sind solitär lebende, walzenförmige, sechsstrahlige Blumentiere ohne Skelett. Sie können sich durch langsames Kriechen auf ihrer Fußscheibe, mit der sie sich normalerweise auf hartem Untergrund festkrallen oder in Sand und Geröll eingraben, fortbewegen.  Ihr Körper ist muskulös. Die Größe kann, je nach Art, von einem bis 150 Zentimeter reichen. Ihre Tentakel sind einfach und in der Regel nicht verzweigt und oft durchscheinend. Manche Arten haben Nesselfäden. Vielfältige Formen an Fortpflanzungsmodi sind bekannt. So existieren getrenntgeschlechtliche, aber auch zwittrige Arten. Sogar Querteilung oder Abschnüren von Fußpartien kommt vor. Es gibt über 1000 Arten in allen Meeren vom Flachwasser bis zu 10000 m Tiefe. In europäischen Gewässern finden sich ca. 60 Arten.  Viele ausgewachsenen Aktinien fressen Fische, Krebse und Schnecken, andere nur Plankton. Einige Arten gehen Symbiosen mit anderen Tieren ein. So finden Anemonenfisch (Nemo) zwischen den Tentakeln Schutz vor Feinden oder heftet sich die Einsiedlerrose an die von Einsiedlerkrebsen bewohnten Schneckenhäuser (siehe auch Ektosymbiose). Systematik: Abteilung: Gewebetiere (Eumetazoa); Unterabteilung: Hohltiere (Coelenterata) Stamm: Nesseltiere (Cnidaria) Klasse: Blumentiere (Anthozoa) Unterklasse: Hexacorallia Ordnung: Seeanemonen (Anthozoa)

;Entwicklungsstabillität 64 : Präzision, mit der Organismen einer bestimmten Spezies die Stadien von der Befruchtung bis zur Reife durchlaufen und die dabei jedes Mal einen Phänotyp reproduziert, der als Exemplar dieses „Typus“ klar erkennbar ist.

;Enzym 65 : Klasse von Proteinen, die als Katalysatoren in biochemischen Reaktionen fungieren; Agenzien,  die deren Geschwindigkeit verändern, ohne in ihnen verbraucht zu werden.  

;Excisionsreparatur 66 : schneidet bei der DNA-Replikation ein beschädigtes DNA-Segment heraus und kopiert es aus dem unbeschädigten Strang neu.  

;Exon 67 : codiertes Segment der DNA.  

;Fehlpaarungsreparatur 68 : beseitigt bei der DNA-Replikation falsch eingebaute Basen und ersetzt sie durch die richtigen.  

;Fließgleichgewicht 69  (engl. steady state) :Bezeichnung für das trotz dauernder Energieaufnahme und -abgabe bestehende dynamische Gleichgewicht in offenen physikalischen Systemen. Von großer Bedeutung ist das F. für lebende Organismen, deren Stoffwechsel einen ständigen Auf- und Abbauprozess leisten und dabei eine ausgeglichene Energiebilanz erreichen muss. Charakterisiert wird das F. durch die biologische Halbwertzeit, die Zeitspanne, in der die Hälfte einer Substanz im Organismus ersetzt wird. F.e werden über Rückkopplungsschleifen stabilisiert.

;Gen 70 : The basic unit of heredity; the sequence of DNA that encodes all the information to make a protein. Structurally, a gene is formed by three regions:  a regulatory region called the promoter juxtaposed to the coding region containing the protein sequence, and a “3’ tail” sequence. In mammalian cells, the promoter is a complex region containing binding sites for many proteins that regulate gene expression. A gene may be “activated” or “switched on” to make protein - this activation is referred to as gene expression - by these proteins which control when, where and how much protein is expressed from the gene. In the human genome, there are an estimated 28,000 genes.  Some of these are evolutionarily related and form “gene families” that express related proteins. There are also genes that no longer make a protein; these defective remnants of evolution are called pseudogenes.

;Gen 71 : DNA-Abschnitt, der eine RNA- und/ oder ein Polypeptid-Molekül codiert.

;homöotische Gene 72 : Gene, die den Gesamtplan von Tieren festlegen, indem sie die Entwicklung von Zellgruppen kontrollieren.

;Genexprimierung 73 : phänotypische Ausprägung von Merkmalen.

;Genkartierung 74 : Bestimmung der relativen Position verschiedener Gene auf einem Chromosom.

;Genom 75 : The complete set of DNA and genes of an organism. Genome size is generally given as the total number of base pairs in an organism.

; Genom 76 : Ein Genom ist die Gesamtheit der DNA eines Virus, einer Zelle oder eines Organismus. Das Genom enthält die Informationen, die zur Entwicklung (Ontogenese) der Bau- und Leistungsmerkmale eines Lebewesens oder eines Virus notwendig sind. Diese Informationen sind in der Basensequenz der DNA verschlüsselt. Daneben enthält es Basensequenzen, die strukturelle Bedeutung für die Organisation der DNA haben oder deren Bedeutung noch nicht bekannt ist.
:Bei mehrzelligen Organismen ist das Genom die Gesamt-DNA einer Zelle. Das Genom der einzelnen, ausdifferenzierten Zelle ist weitgehend dem Genom der Zygote, aus der sie durch mitotischer Zellteilung entstanden sind, identisch. Es gibt jedoch durch Mutationen und mitotische Rekombinationen kleine Veränderungen.
:Bei Organismen mit Kernphasenwechsel unterscheidet sich das Genom der Keimzellen vom Genom der Zygote ebenfalls durch Mutationen sowie durch meiotische Rekombinationen (siehe Meiose).

;Genotyp 77 : Gesamtheit aller Erbanlagen eines Organismus.

;Gentechnik 78 : Als Gentechnik bezeichnet man die Methode, Erbgut zu isolieren und dieses gezielt zu verändern und zu übertragen. Mit Hilfe der Gentechnik ist es möglich, einem Lebewesen eine ihm bisher fremde Erbanlage aus einem anderen Lebewesen gezielt und stabil einzubauen.

;Gentechnik 79 : Gezielte Übertragung von Fremdgenen in das Erbgut einer Zelle oder eines Organismus.

;Gradualismus 80 : Sicht der Erdgeschichte, die Veränderungen als kumulatives Ergebnis langsamer, aber kontinuierlicher Prozesse erklärt (Neodarwinismus).

;Thermodynamik, 2. Hauptsatz 81 : gibt die Richtung von Prozessen an und liefert ein Maß für die Umkehrbarkeit (Entropie) eines Naturvorgangs: So kann Wärme nicht von selbst aus einem kälteren in einen wärmeren Körper übergehen. In einem abgeschlossenen physikalischen System kann die Entropie nur zunehmen oder in günstigsten Fall gleich bleiben.

;Induktion 82 : Beeinflussung der Entwicklung einer embryonalen Zellgruppe durch eine andere.

;Intron 83 : nichtcodiertes Segment der DNA.

;Künstliches Leben 84 : Die Frage nach künstlichem Leben ist zweiteilig: 1. die Herstellung eines bekannten Lebewesens im Labor, und 2. die Herstellung neuer Lebensformen.
:1. Obwohl man nicht erwartet, mehrzellige Organismen in naher Zukunft zu erzeugen, ist es  schon gelungen, den Polio-Virus im Labor herzustellen. Damit ist es zwar gelungen, ein biologisches System zu erzeugen. Es konnte aber dabei nicht einmal auf die Mithilfe von Zellen verzichtet werden. Viren zeigen nicht alle Kennzeichen der Lebewesen, sind damit also per definitionem keine Lebewesen.
:2. Es gibt Vorstellungen, dass komplexe Computersysteme künstliche Intelligenz und künstliches Leben zeigen können (siehe KI und KL).

;Beginn des Lebens 85 : Eine naturwissenschaftliche Definition für Leben im Sinne von „lebendig sein“ korrespondiert mit der naturwissenschaftlichen Definition für Lebewesen. Wird für Lebewesen das genetische Programm, seine Funktionalität und seine Entwicklung als essentiell angenommen, dann ergibt sich für den Beginn des Lebens der Zeitpunkt, zu dem Moleküle als Träger des Programms und weitere Hilfsmoleküle zur Realisierung, Vervielfältigung und Anpassung dieses Programms dergestalt in Wechselwirkung treten und von einander abhängig sind, dass eine Einheit höherer Ordnung entsteht, die neue, emergente Eigenschaften aufweist. (...) Die ontogenetische Frage nach der Entstehung des Lebens beinhaltet die Frage, ab und bis zu welchem Zeitpunkt seiner Entwicklung ein Organismus als lebendig betrachtet wird.
:Daraus ergibt sich eine Möglichkeit zur Definition von Entstehung (und Ende) von Leben:
:Leben beginnt dann, wenn die emergenten Eigenschaften der Lebewesen entstehen, Leben endet dann, wenn diese Eigenschaften wieder verschwinden.
:Dazu ist es aber notwendig, alle emergenten Eigenschaften der Lebewesen zu kennen. Auf Grund der Komplexität auch der einfachsten Lebewesen ist dies prinzipiell nicht möglich. Deswegen tritt an die Stelle einer allgemeingültigen Definition eine Vielfalt von Entscheidungen, die durch Weltanschauung, Ethos, Religion, Moral oder Pragmatismus geprägt sind.

;How would you define life? 86 : Here is a definition. Life is about:
:''Growing''
:From birth to death, an organism grows. Plants, fungi, humans ... except for viruses, but are they living organisms?
:''Moving''
:Movement is the first thing that would tell you if one is alive or not ... although plants themselves do not move, there is movement inside.
:''Eating''
:Exchanging matter with the outer world is a sign of life: it starts with breathing, then ingesting matter (and its excretion), metabolising, and even talking and hearing (feeding those grey cells!)
:''Breeding''
:Life has this unavoidable property to multiply itself. Anything will do the trick. It seems we are just here to pass life around.

;Mikroorganismen 87 :Mikroorganismen spielen eine Schlüsselrolle im Stoffkreislauf. Sie sind als Destruenten am Abbau vieler Verbindungen beteiligt. Dieser Vorgang erfolgt sowohl in der Umwelt wie in Symbiose mit anderen Lebewesen ( Beispiele: Flechten, Darm- und Pansenbakterien). Als Pathogene bedrohen Mikroorganismen die Gesundheit anderer Organismen. In der Biotechnologie dienen ungefährliche Mikroorganismen zur Herstellung zahlreicher Produkte wie Citronensäure, Antibiotika, Xanthan oder Enzyme, zur aeroben und anaeroben Reinigung von Abwasser, Klärschlamm, Böden und Luft und als Wirtsorganismen zur Synthese rekombinanter Proteine. Aufgrund ihres verhältnismäßig einfachen Aufbaus, des breiten Methodenspektrums zur Herstellung von Mutanten und der kurzen Generationszeit dienen sie als Modellorganismen für die Untersuchung biochemischer, gentischer und physiologischer Vorgänge. Ihr völlig unterschiedlicher Zellaufbau erlaubt eine Unterscheidung in prokaryotische und eukaryotische Mikroorganismen. Die Prokaryoten unterteilt man weiter in Eubakterien und Archaebakterien.

;Eubakterien :sind einzellige Lebewesen. Sie vermehren sich durch Teilung. {…} Eubakterien zeichnen sich durch das Potential zu ungewöhnlich zahlreichen Varianten des Stoffwechsels aus, wodurch sie in der Lage sind, eine große Zahl von Lebensräumen zu besiedeln. Dabei überraschen sie immer wieder mit einzigartig evolvierten Proteinen und Cofaktoren.  So ist beispielsweise die Purpurmembran der Halobakterien eine auf diese begrenzte funktionelle Einheit, die Ähnlichkeiten zur Photosynthese und zum Sehvorgang im Menschlichen Auge aufweist.

;Archaebakterien (Archaea) :{…} Sie leben häufig ohne Sauerstoff und sind meist  auf die Besiedlung sehr spezieller Biotope spezialisiert. Beispielsweise sind sie die wichtigste Gruppe von Baterien, die aus Essigsäure Methan bilden - ein wichtiger biotechnologischer Schritt bei der anaeroben Schlammfaulung. Von den Eubakterien unterscheiden sie sich durch strukturelle und genetische Merkmale, {…} Die Funktion ihrer Enzyme ist oft an extreme Standorte angepaßt, was man in der Technik ausnutzen kann.

;Hefen und Pilze :Alle Hefen und Pilze sind Eukarioten. Im Gegensatz zu den Bakterien ist ihre Zellwand aus Chitin, selten auch aus Cellulose aufgebaut. Fast alle Pilze sind heterotroph und leben aerob. Die großen Unterschiede in ihrer Vermehrung bieten den besten Ansatz zu ihrer Klassifizierung. Der Vegetationskörper der Pilze ist ein aus Hyphen bestehendes Fadengeflecht (Mycel), das sich asexuell oder sexuell vermehren kann. Die asexuelle Vermehrung geschiet meist durch Sporenbildung, gelegentlich auch durch Knospung. Die sexuelle Vermehrung der niederen Pilzen (Phycomyceten) erfolgt durch Gameten, der höheren Pilze durch Fruchtkörpern, die als Schlauch (Ascomyceten) oder Ständer (Basidiomyceten) geformt sind.

;Monomere 88 : Bausteine der Polymere.

;Mosaikgene 89 : (engl. split genes) Viele Gene, die Proteine in höheren Organismen codieren, sind kein kontinuierlichen, sonder mosaikartige Sequenzen - bestehend auscodierten (exprimierten) DNA-Sequenzen (Exons) und eingestreuten langen, nichtcodierten Regionen (Introns), von denen man, zumindest anfangs, annahm, dass sie überhaupt keine Funktion haben.

;Mutabilität 90 : Rate von Mutationen pro Zeiteinheit.

;Mutagenese 91 : Entstehung von Mutationen.

;Mutation 92 : seltene Veränderung der codierten DNA, durch die genetische Vielfalt entsteht.

;Neodarwinismus 93 : (auch „Synthetische Theorie“) umfassende Evolutionstheorie, die die Bedeutung der natürlichen Selektion, des Gradualismus und der Populationen als den Grundeinheiten des Wandels betont.

;Nucleinsäuren 94 : biologische Moleküle (wie DNA und RNA), ermöglichen die Reproduktion von Organismen; polymere Verbindungen.

;Nucleotide 95 : Bausteine der Nucleinsäuren.

; Pflanzenzucht 96 : Vor etwa 11000 Jahren, in der „neolytischen Revolution“, begann der Mensch, Pflanzen anzubauen und ihren Ertrag durch züchterische Maßnahmen zu erhöhen. Als Ergebnis einer langen Selektion entstanden die heutigen Kulturpflanzen, die bedeutend mehr Biomasse, Frucht und Samen liefern, als ihre wildlebenden Urformen. Die Ernährung des Menschen und seiner Haustiere beruht überwiegend auf diesen Kulturpflanzen. Bereits heute sind allerdings etwa 1/3 der ca. 6 Mrd. Menschen nicht ausreichende ernährt. Da man mit einer Verdopplung der Weltbevölkerung in den nächsten 50 Jahren rechnet, kommt der Steigerung der pflanzlichen Produktion eine entscheidende Bedeutung zu. Ähnlich wie Mikroorganismen oder tierische Zellen kann man auch isolierte Pflanzenzellen in flüssigen, sterilen Nährmedien vermehren.

;Pilze 97 : Pilze spielen eine herausragende Rolle im Kreislauf der Natur, z.B. beim Abbau von Humus. In der Lebensgemeinschaft mit Pflanzen (Mycorrhiza-Pilze) helfen sie bei der Aufnahme von Nährstoffen, sind aber auch gefürchtete Pflanzen-Pathenogene (z.B. der Mehltau). {…} Unter den ca. 70 000 klassifizierten Pilzen bilden die Schlauchpilze (Ascomyceten) mit ca. 20 000 Arten die größte Gruppe. {…} Etwa 300 Pilzarten haben für den Menschen pathenogene Eigenschaften. Alle Pilze sind heterotroph. {…}

;Polymerasekettenreaktion PCR 98 :Die von Kary Mullis entwickelte Polymeras-Kettenreaktion (PCR) ist eine der praktisch wichtigsten Entdeckungen auf dem Gebiet der Gentechnik; ihr Erfinder wurde mit dem Nobelpreis ausgezeichnet. Bei der PCR wird ein kurzer, vorausbestimmbarer Abschnitt eines DNA-Moleküls viele Male von einer DNA-Polymerase kopiert.  Mit anderen Worten: Ein gewünschtes Genfragment kann selektiv amplifiziert werden. Eine derartige Technik ist sowohl bei der Identifizierung von DNA-Abschnitten wie bei der gentechnischen Bearbeitung von DNA von großem Wert. {…} Mit Hilfe der PCR können einzelne Abschnitte aus einer DNA sehr schnell kloniert und sequenziert werden.

;Transgene Pflanzen 99 : Die Bearbeitung von Pflanzen mit gentechnischen Methoden umfaßt nicht nur die Modifikation pflanzeneigener Stoffe („nachwachsende Rohstoffe“), sondern auch die Synthese von Wertstoffen in transgenen Pflanzen. Beispiele sind: 1. die Modifikation der Aminosäure-, Stärke-, oder Öl-Zusammensetzung und die Veränderung des Lignin-Gehalts von Hölzern, 2. die Expression Pflanzen-fremder Stoffe wie Antikörper oder A.-Fragmente (plantiebodies), Vakzine, menschliche Serumalbuminen oder von Biopolymeren.

;Modifikation Pflanzeneigener Stoffe:
:Um dem Mangel vieler Pflanzenproteine an essentiellen Aminosäuren abzuhelfen, wurden mehrere Wege erfolgreich eingeschlagen: a) die Expression günstiger zusammengesetzter Speicherproteine aus anderen Pflanzen, b) die positionsgerichtete Mutagenese eigener Speicherproteine zum Ersatz nicht-essentieller durch essentielle Aminosäuren, c) die Einklonierung von Genen deregulierter Schlüsselenzyme für verzweigte Stoffwechselwege, {…} Den Lignin-Gehalt von Hölzern reduzierte man durch die Modulation von Genen der Lignin-Biosynthese (Zimtsäure-Intermediate).

;Expression Pflanzenfremder Stoffe:
:Die meisten Untersuchungen wurden bisher in Tabakpflanzen oder in Arbidopsis thaliana durchgeführt, da sich diese Organismen besonders gut transformieren lassen. So gelang die Expression menschlichen Serumalbumins ebenso wie die Bildung vollständiger IgG-Antikörper, die mit Blick auf eine Karies-Prophylaxe gegen das Adhesin von Streptococcus mutans gerichtet waren; man erreichte dabei Konzentrationen von bis zu 1% des Gesamtproteins. Die preiswerte Expression von Antigenen in Pflanzen eröffnet möglicherweise die Chance, in Entwicklungsländern eine Vakzinierung mit der Nahrungsaufnahme durchzuführen. Im Modellversuch gelang es, das Oberflächen-Antigen des Hepatitis-B-Virus in Tabak in einer Konzentration von 0,01% des löslichen Proteins zu exprimieren, und die Verfütterung des Tabakmehls führte in Mäusen zu einer Immunantwort. Der Verzehr von Kartoffeln, die das zu Durchfällen führende hitzelabile Enterotoxin B aus E. coli exprimieren, bewirkte im Menschen ebenfalls eine Immunantwort. Exprimiert man das für die Synthese von Polyhydroxybuttersäure verantwortliche Operon von Alcaligenes eutrophus, das  aus drei Genen besteht, in den Chloroplasten der Arabidopsis thaliana oder Raps, so erhält man diesen abbaubaren Kunststoff preiswert durch Photosynthese. Die ökonomische Aufarbeitung dieses Polymers aus Pflanzen muss allerdings noch optimiert werden.

;Phänotyp 100 : Gesamtheit der physischen, physiologischen und molekularen Merkmale eines Lebewesens.

;Polymer 101 : großes Molekül, in dem viele identische oder ähnliche Monomere miteinander verknüpft sind.

;Polypeptide 102 : Polymere (Kette) aus vielen Aminosäuren, die durch spezifische Peptidbindungen verknüpft sind.

;Population 103 :Gruppe artgleicher Individuen, die in einem bestimmten geographischen Gebiet leben.

;Präformationstheorie 104 : biologische Entwicklungstheorie, nach der jeder Organismus durch Entfaltung bereits in der Ei- oder Samenzelle vorgebildeter Teile entsteht.

;Prokaryoten 105 : Prokaryoten (Prokaryonten, Procarya, Procaryota) sind zelluläre Lebewesen, welche keinen Zellkern besitzen. Ihr Zelltyp wird als Protocyte bezeichnet. Seit alle zellulären Lebewesen in drei Domänen eingeteilt werden, fassen die Domänen der Bakterien (Bacteria) und der Archaebakterien (Archaea) alle Prokaryonten zusammen. Die DNA befindet sich in prokaryotischen Zellen frei im Cytoplasma als Kernäquivalent oder auch Nucleoid. Außerdem sind prokaryotische Zellen nicht kompartimentiert und enthalten keine Organellen wie Chloroplasten, (...).

;Proteine 106 : dreidimensionale Polymere, die aus zwanzig verschiedenen als Aminosäuren bezeichneten Monomeren aufgebaut sind.

;Protein 107 : Proteins are made from individual amino acids whose type and order are determined by the genetic code in the cellular DNA. Common examples are structural proteins, such as the keratin found in hair, and functional proteins, such as the enzymes involved with controlling the chemical reactions with in a cell.

;Protein Design 108 : Unter Protein Design oder Protein Engineering versteht man die willkürliche Änderung einer Proteinsequenz mit gentechnischen Methoden. Man will damit :1. Hinweise auf den katalytischen Mechanismus eines Enzyms erhalten,  :2. Bindungsstellen für Substrate oder Antigene gezielt modifizieren, oder :3. globale Eigenschaften eines Proteins (Temperatur-, pH-. Protease-Stabilität, Allergenität, Löslichkeit) verändern. Geht man dabei von einer bekannten Proteinstruktur aus und verändert gezielt einzelne Aminosäuren oder Sequenzabschnitte, so spricht man von rationalem Protein Design. Führt man dagegen einen zufallsgesteuerten Austausch von Aminosäuren durch und selektiert die „Treffer“ so spricht man von gerichteter Evolution.

;Proteomics 109 : Der Begriff „Proteom“ wurde 1995 vorgeschlagen und beschreibt die Gesamtheit der von einem Genom kodierten Proteine. Bei höheren Organismen geht man davon aus, dass von einem Gen bei der Transkription und aufgrund posttranslationaler Prozesse im Mittel 10 Proteine gebildet werden. Unter Proteomics versteht man Untersuchungen zur Expression, Funktion und Wechselwirkung von miteinander verschalteten Proteinen auf der Basis eines Genoms (functional genomics).

;Proteomics 110 : The study of proteins, including how they are produced, how they interact, and what they do.

;Repression 111  :Abschalten der Expression eines Gens oder einer Gengruppe als Reaktion auf einen chemischen oder physikalischen Reiz.

;Repressor 112 : Protein, das die Expression von Operongenen unterdrückt.

;Restriktionsenzym 113 :Abbauenzym, das DNA erkennt und zerschneidet.

;in silico 114 : (lateinisch für in Silizium) bezeichnet Vorgänge, die im Computer ablaufen. Der Begriff ist eine Anspielung auf die Tatsache, dass die meisten heutigen Computer-Chips auf der Basis des chemischen Elements Silizium hergestellt sind (siehe auch Wafer). Ein biochemischer Vorgang  z. B., welcher in vivo im menschlichen Organismus abläuft, lässt sich möglicherweise mit Methoden und Algorithmen der Bioinformatik im Computer simulieren.

;in situ 115 : lat. am (Ursprungs-) Ort, am Platz; in der Biologie eine Abkürzung für die In situ-Hybridisierung

;SOS-System 116 :Reparatursystem, das die Präzision der DNA-Replikation zugunsten des Überlebens der Zelle opfert.

;Spleißosom 117  :komplexe Struktur, die beim Spleißen (Verkleben) von RNA mit den Enden eines RNA-Introns in Wechselwirkung tritt; setzt ein Intron frei und verknüpft zwei benachbarte Extrons.

;Stoffwechsel 118 : oder der Metabolismus (griechisch metawolismós - der Stoffwechsel mit lateinischer Endung) steht für die Aufnahme, den Transport und die chemische Umwandlung von Stoffen in einem Organismus sowie die Abgabe von Stoffwechselendprodukten an die Umgebung.
:Wesentlich für den Stoffwechsel sind Enzyme, die chemische Reaktionen katalysieren.

;Stoffwechsel 119 : Obwohl sich die vielfältigen Formen des Lebens auf der Erde über einen langen Zeitraum von ca. 3 Mrd. Jahren entwickelt haben, beruht ihre Replikation, ihr Bau- und Energie-Stoffwechsel auf der Variation weniger Grundprinzipien.  Die Zahl der beschriebenen Arten liegt bei  >1 Million, der Enzyme aber nur bei einigen 1000 und selbst der Mensch kommt mit einigen 100 000 Protein-Varianten aus, von denen viele sogar eine hohe Sequenz- und Struktur-Homologie zu einfachen Eukaryoten wie saccharomyces cerevisiae aufweisen. Über ihren Stoffwechsel bilden alle Lebewesen auf der Erde ein labiles ökologisches Netzwerk, in dem es Spezialisten für fast jede erdenkliche Kombination von Umweltbedingungen gibt („ökologische Nischen“). Dabei unterscheidet man zwischen autotrophen (können Metabolite aus CO2 aufbauen) und heterotrophen Organismen (benötigen dafür eine organische C-Quelle). Ein weiteres Unterscheidungsmerkmal ist die Fähigkeit, in einer O2-Atmosphäre (aerob, Gegensatz: anaerob) zu überleben. Trotz vieler Gemeinsamkeiten gibt es dabei auch zahlreiche Varianten, wie schon ein Blick auf die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten des Glucose-Abbaus über den Fructose-1,6-biphosphat-Pentosephosphat und 2-Keto-3-desoxy-6-phosphogluconat-Weg zeigt. Der neuerdings mögliche Vergleich ganzer Genome eröffnet dabei atemberaubende neue Einsichten in die Details der Bau- und Funktionspläne von Organismen, die an unterschiedliche Umweltbedingungen angepasst sind. Auch das Verständnis für die komplexen Regelvorgänge innerhalb einer Zelle, eines vielzelligen Organismus oder seiner Wechselwirkung mit der Umwelt (Systemdynamik, Biokybernetik) nimmt stürmisch zu und lässt sich immer besser in silicio modellieren. Bei biotechnologischen Aufgabenstellungen will man Stoffwechsel-Vorgänge meist beeinflussen, sei es zur Ausbeutesteigerung eines Produkts oder zur Eliminierung einer für die Züchtung oder die Produktion störenden Eigenschaft. Die traditionellen Methoden, Kreuzung und Zuchtwahl bzw. Mutation und Selektion, werden dabei nachhaltig durch die Möglichkeiten der Gentechnik ergänzt.

:Autotropher Stoffwechsel
: Organismen dieses Typs reduzieren CO2 zu  C-Quellen (primär Zucker) und benötigen dazu Energie. Phototrophe Organismen (Pflanzen, Algen, Cyanobaterien und andere) verwenden dazu verschiedene Formen von Photoreaktionszentren, die Lichtenergie in die chemische Energie von Adenosintriphosphat (ATP) umwandeln (ATP:„universelle biochemische Energiewährung“). Lithotrophe Organismen oxidieren zu diesem Zweck anorganische Stoffe (S, N, Metallionen). Autotrophe Organismen mit Bedeutung für die Biotechnologie sind beispielsweise nitrifizierende Bakterien und transgene Pflanzen. Bei der mikrobiellen Erzlaugung setzt man lithotrophe Bakterien ein.

:Heterotropher anaerober Stoffwechsel
:Organismen dieses Stoffwechseltyps setzt man zur Herstellung von Ethanol, Aceton, Butanol und Milchsäure ein. Sie gewinnen ATP aus dem Abbau von Zuckern. Die bei der anaeroben Schlammfaulung beteiligten Methanbildner gehören zu den Archaebakterien und verfügen über einige sehr spezielle Stoffwechselleistungen. Die Energie-Gewinnung durch anaeroben Stoffwechsel verläuft mit einer insgesamt geringen Energie-Ausbeute, was sich in schlechter Produkt-Ausbeute äußert.

:Heterotropher aerober Stoffwechsel
:Die meisten in der Biotechnologie verwendeten Organismen gehören zu diesem Stoffwechsel-Typ. Der Großteil der Energie wird über die Elektronentransport-Kette gewonnen, das sich aus dem Citronensäure-Cyclus speist. Mit 26-38 Mol ATP/Mol Glucose ist die Energieausbeute dieses Stoffwechseltyps hoch. Da aus dem Citronensäure-Cyclus auch zahlreiche Vorstufen für die Biosynthese abgezweigt werden (Oxalessigsäure, Bernsteinsäure usw.), findet man bei Hochleistungsstämmen für die Produktion von primären Stoffwechselprodukten wie Citronensäure oder Glutaminsäure Auffüllreaktionen (anaaplerotischer Stoffwechsel).

:Sekundär-Stoffwechsel
:Viele Organismen bilden Metabolite, deren Bedeutung noch unvollkommen verstanden wird. Oft handelt es sich dabei um industriell sehr wertvolle Verbindungen wie Antibiotika, Alkaloide, Farbstoffe und Aromen.

;Axolotl tanks 120 : are a technology in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert in the ‚Dune‘ series. Axolotl tanks are produced by the Bene Tleilaxu and serve as wombs in which a clone or ghola can be grown; in later books the axolotl tanks have been upgraded to be capable of producing the spice melange. During the final two Dune books, it is remarked that nobody has ever seen a Tleilaxu female - this is because females in Tleilaxu society are taken and turned into axolotl tanks by a process of genetic mutation. In essence, the women become huge, immobile wombs which are then used by the Tleilaxu Masters to grow whatever biological products are required, this being the reason why nobody has ever been able to duplicate the technology; however, in the final book Chapterhouse Dune the Tleilaxu Master Scytale is forced to reveal the means of creating the tanks to the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood.

;Synthetische Theorie 121 :Neodarwinismus.

;Tierzucht 122 :Seit der „neolithischen Revolution“ vor etwa 11000 Jahren domestiziert der Mensch Hund, Schaf und Ziege, seit etwa 8000 Jahren Rind und Schwein. Standen zu Beginn die Zähmung und Vermehrung dieser Haustiere im Vordergrund, so sind vorrangige Ziele der modernen Tierzucht die Erzeugung von tierischen Produkten (Fleisch, Milch, Eier, Wolle) mit verbesserter Qualität. In den letzten 30 Jahren hat sich die Leistung eines Fleischbullen mit >300 kg/a Fleisch und einer Milchkuh mit >10000 L Milch/a etwa verdoppelt. Kreuzung und Selektion erfolgen seit Urzeiten nach phänotypischen Merkmalen, deren Ausprägung genetisch oder umweltbedingt sein kann. Die klassischen Methoden werden dabei zunehmend durch bio- und gentechnologische Methoden ergänzt. Dazu gehören: 1. künstliche Besamung, 2. in-vitro-Fertilisation (IVF) und Embryotransfer, und 3. die Erstellung von Genkarten für Zuchtmerkmale. Transgene und geklonte Tiere werden bisher nur in der Forschung, nicht in der Tierzucht eingesetzt.

;Transgene Tiere 123 : Transgene Tiere, bei denen fremde Gene exprimiert (knock-in) oder eigene Gene ausgeschaltet wurden (knock-out) untersucht man für die Grundlagenforschung, als Tiermodelle für Erkrankungen des Menschen, für die Tierzucht und für die Produktion von Pharmaproteinen in der Milchdrüse (Gene Pharming). Das medizinisch wichtigste Tiermodell ist wegen der einfachen Zucht und der physiologischen nähe zum Menschen die Maus (Mus musculus, Adjetiv murin).
:{…} Für die Übertragung fremden genetischen Materials (knock-in) benutzt man meist die Mikroinjektion von Genkonstrukten, die ein Promotor, das gewünschte Gen in Exon/Intron-Struktur und eine PolyA-Signalsequenz enthalten. Die Rekombination solcher Vektoren in das Tiergenom erfolgt oft an mehreren Stellen und in mehreren Kopien. Zum Ausschalten von Genen (knock-out) wird deshalb die Transfektion embryonaler Stammzellen in vitro bevorzugt.  Mit replacement- oder Insertions-Vektoren, die homologe Sequenzen zum untersuchten Gen enthalten, aber nicht mehr für ein funktionsfähiges Genprodukt codieren, löst man durch crossing over oder durch indizierten Doppelstrangbruch die Rekombination aus und inaktiviert damit das natürlich Gen. Mitklonierte Selektionsmarker oder gene trap-Vektoren, bei denen ein Reporter-Gen in Exons oder regulatorische Sequenzen des endogenen Gens hineinkloniert wird, erleichtern die Erfolgskontrolle. Bei diesem gene targeting ist der Integrationsort eindeutig und es wird meist nur eine Genkopie integriert. Für das Ausschalten von Genen untersucht man auch antisense-Konstrukte. Nachkommen, die das neu rekombinierte oder das ausgeschaltete Gen in einigen ihrer Geschlechtszellen enthalten (Keimbahn-chimäre Tiere), benutzt man für die Weiterzucht und erhält so Founder-Tiere. {…}
:Großes Aufsehen erregte 1982 ein Versuch, bei dem man durch Mikroinjektion des Gens für Wachstumshormon in den Vorkern eines besamten Mäuse-Eis eine transgene Supermaus erzeugte. {…} Anfang 2000 waren über 500 transgene Mäusestämme kommerziell erhältlich. Da die Genomanalyse verschiedener Mäusestämme mittlerweile abgeschlossen ist, erleichtert die Analyse transgener Mäuse auch die Funktionsanalyse des menschlichen Genoms.“

;Bene Tleilax or Tleilaxu 124 : The Bene Tleilax or Tleilaxu are an organisation in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert in the Dune series of novels. The Bene Tleilax are genetic manipulators, equivalent in power to a major house in the Imperium. Not organized along feudal lines (as most of rest of the Imperium is), the Tleilaxu are secretive and very little is known about them. They are chiefly known for their biological products such as artifical eyes, gholas, and face dancers. The use of „Bene“ before their name suggests that they are an order of some kind, like the Bene Gesserit; this becomes clear in the last two books of the series.

;Transkription 125 : Informationsübertragung von einer DNA- auf ein RNA-Molekül.

;Translation 126 : Informationsübertragung von einem RNA-Molekül auf ein Polypeptid, verbunden mit einem Wechsel von der Nucleinsäure- zur Aminosäure-Sprache.

;DNA Vektoren 127 : Transportsysteme, mit denen fremde DNA in Zellen eingeschleust und in deren genetische Information eingebaut wird. Zum Beispiel Plasmide bei Bakterien.

;Viren 128 :Viren sind keine vollständigen Lebewesen. Sie sind keine Zellen, sondern Partikel und zur Replikation auf eine Wirtszelle angewiesen. Dabei sind sie zu einem hohen Grad wirtsspezifisch.

;in vitro 129  (lateinisch für im Glas) :bezeichnet Vorgänge,  die außerhalb des lebenden Organismus stattfinden, im Gegensatz zu solchen, die in vivo ablaufen. Wenn Vorgänge dagegen in der Bioinformatik im Computer berechnet werden, bezeichnet man sie als in silico.

;in vitro 130 : in Reagenzglas durchgeführter Versuch usw.

;in vivo 131 (lateinisch für im Lebenden) :bezeichnet Prozesse, die im lebenden Organismus ablaufen. Im Gegensatz dazu werden Abläufe, die im Reagenzglas oder ganz allgemein außerhalb lebender Organismen stattfinden, mit dem Begriff in vitro belegt. Man sagt also z.B., dass eine (bio-) chemische Reaktion entweder in vivo oder in vitro abläuft. Neuerdings hat sich für die Simulation von z.B. biochemischen Abläufen im Computer der Begriff in silico eingebürgert.

;Omne vivum e vivo 132 : „Alles Leben stammt von Leben ab“, Louis Pasteur Lebewesen können unter den derzeit herrschenden Bedingungen auf der Erde nicht spontan aus unbelebter Materie entstehen.  Die spontane Lebensentstehung auf der Erde unter den Bedingungen der Uratmosphäre wird damit allerdings nicht ausgeschlossen.

;Zygote 133  :Eine Zygote ist eine diploide Zelle, die durch Verschmelzung zweier haploider Geschlechtszellen (Gameten) - meist einer Eizelle (weiblich) und einer Samenzelle (männlich) - entsteht. Dabei verschmelzen auch die Zellkerne der beiden Geschlechtszellen (Befruchtung). Bei Mehrzellern entstehen aus der Zygote durch vielfache Mitosen (Kernteilungen) mehr- bis vielzellige Organismen.
