Somos Luz

I love these guys… Remember this work? The spanish urban art group Boa Mistura participated recently in an urban art revitalization project in Panama City. The city became a great artistic showcase, dressed up with sculptures, murals, paintings, films and photographs as part of the »Primera Bienal del Sur en Panamá 2013«. They describe their work and their reasoning as follows: »Somos Luz („We are light“) is the message we painted, with the neighbors help, on 50 houses at the building Begonia I in the community of El Chorrillo (Panama City). The concept is based on the color grid generated when every neighbor paints his own home. The intervention covers corridors and stairways, converted now into abstract color compositions that come to life with daily scenes like hanging clothes or people looking out the balcony.« All Images courtesy of Boa Mistura.

I ride to the edge of the atmosphere…

His body of work includes both the legendary »Echtzeit« music clip by Sensorama (with Oliver Husain, MuVi Award for the best German Music Video at the Oberhausen International Short Film Festival in 1999) and his award-winning animation »3.48 €/min.«. Last year, Michel Klöfkorn’s newest film »I ride to the edge of the atmosphere in a half hour on my bicycle« won the German Short Film Award 2012. Hovering between psychoanalysis, economics, astronomy and bicycle rides this film bridged the scientific with the imaginary in a very strong and powerful way. It’s time to start a big retrospective show at your favourite cinema.

Aqual(o)unge 10

Tadaaaa – No. 10 of our Underwater Mix Series… I’ve made it especially for the BRAAAHHLITZ 2013 event in August (hope to see you there!), so I planned to release it as a podcast episode in August originally. Now I noticed that I have absolutely no time for a regular episode this month, therefore I decided to give it to you now.

Early Stars of the Space Race

There was a time when animals were sent to space to test the survivability of spaceflight. From the present point of view, it seems crazy to me, but the story of animals in space is much older than one thinks. Animals had been used in aeronautic exploration since 1783 when the Montgolfier brothers sent a sheep, a duck and a rooster aloft in a hot air balloon (source). However, the following story is from the early 60s: »On the morning of January 31, 1961, in south Florida, a 5-year-old chimpanzee — dubbed »Ham« by his handlers — ate a breakfast of baby cereal, condensed milk, vitamins and half an egg. Then the unassuming 37-pound primate went out and made aeronautic history: Aboard a NASA space capsule, traveling thousands of miles an hour almost 160 miles above the Earth, he became the first chimp in space.« The complete story is on LIFE’s website and is worth reading about.
