The colors were the result of a combination of front and back colors, (silk at the time was so thin that the liner was transparent, creating complex colors), overlapping color gradations, complex weave colors, and combinations of warp and weft. Depending on the degree of entanglement of the spheres, and wind and pressure changes, the shape of the space itself will change, empty spaces becoming high density, and spheres rising to the ceiling all at once.īefore the modern era in Japan, Kasane no Irome were seasonal colors created in silk. The shape of the space is determined by the collection of floating spheres and changes according to people’s actions (pushing or colliding). Since each sphere is free floating within the collection of sphere elements that make up the three-dimensional space, people recognize it as existing three-dimensionally and part the spheres entering into the three-dimensional existing space. At this time, the light spreads spherically around the impacted sphere. Therefore, the light behaves as a group and can be thought of as one three-dimensional existing space. The spheres around that sphere change color tone and in turn resonate out the color in three-dimensions to nearby spheres.Įven if each sphere moves freely on its own, the behavior of light is maintained across the whole of the space (a three-dimensional image in which one sphere is regarded as one dot). When people move through or strike them, the spheres change color, and that color resonates out. When the spheres change color, the space itself shifts between a collection of spheres forming a three-dimensional space and a flat color wall. People move through the spheres and enter the space. The space is filled with spheres of free floating light. *Due to helium shortage, the flotation of spheres has been suspended. Together with Nils Sparwasser he has designed the sculpture of the Earth, the technical implementation of which has been carried out by the DLR, Intermediate Engineering and geo – Die Luftwerker.Expanding Three-Dimensional Existence in Transforming Space - Flattening 3 Colors and 9 Blurred. The curator of the exhibition “Wonders of Nature” is Prof. The project partner is the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) (German Aerospace Center). “The ride in the glazed panorama lift up to the roof of the Gasometer then provides a view of our home planet as otherwise experienced only by astronauts”, Jeanette Schmitz, Managing Director of Gasometer Oberhausen GmbH promises. The visitor experiences the fascinating phenomena of the Earth’s atmosphere in the change from day to night and in the changing seasons. Moving, high-resolution satellite images (8-10 K) are projected, accurate in every detail, onto the globe. In the gigantic interior of the Gasometer our blue planet is brought alive luminously: the round tour through the “Wonders of Nature“ reaches its climax with the view of a 20 metre large globe hovering in the Gasometer’s 100 metre high air space. The highlight of the new exhibition is the Earth itself. Film sequences from well-known natural science series such as “Planet Earth” enhance the illustrative effect of the images.Ĭonsent to external media The earth from above The renowned international photographers who are represented by the approximately 150 large-format illustrations from the world of flora and fauna in the exhibition, include Ingo Arndt, James Balog, Bence Máté, Jürgen Freund, Axel Hyde, Rob Kesseler, Manfred Kage, Heidi and Hans-Jürgen Koch, Frans Lanting, Tim Laman, David Maitland, Oliver Meckes and Nicole Ottawa, Lennert Nilsson, Ondrej Pakan, Anup Shah, Solvin Zankl and Christian Ziegler. Peter Pachnicke says, “The visitors discover the ingenuity of the biological systems on a large scale and on a small scale and learn about how the forms of life are constantly changing, and how they trick each other and also form alliances with others”. Plants and animals have conquered the deepest depths and great heights, they grow to a majestic size and fill even the smallest niches in microscopic minuteness.
