—Modelluniversum, 2007
Light- and sound installation, 11 min
during the exhibition and research project „The Domain of the Great Bear“, kunstraum muenchen


The installation is simulating the view into a starry sky out of a fictitious window. The Domain of the Great Bear is reconstructed as a model out of LEDs and fiber glass, similar to the traditional diorama displays in science museums. The whole room is filled with a very deep vibrating bass sound. Text and sound samples from the film „Things to come“ (William Cameron Menzies, 1936) are added as a second sound layer showing the conflict between the the artist and the scientists: The artist - in the film a conservative position - is agitating the masses to rebel against the progress while the scientist although sometimes having objections are driven by a future vision dominated on technical progress: „All the universe or nothing!“
