The circular video animation which is projected into a dome
of the museum room simulates a planetarium presentation. The
spectator can lie on the floor on a carpet and watch the video.
The main image is a circular urban landscape, a collage out
of different photographs from different European and American
cities and peripheral landscapes. In the centre of the projection
an animated night sky is slowly rotating. The second part of
the video projects quotes form the United Nations outer space
and moon treaty and at the same time you hear spoken quotes
from politicians and businessmen who talk about space marketing.
The whole video has an underlying atmospheric dolby surround
sound that we consider as typical space sound as it is used
in lots of science fiction movies. The spoken quotes are excerpts
of my research about public outer space, thus the animation
is directly connected to my site research and handbook "Space
is a place".
