Music : Marc Battier COLLISION II, an orbital debris constellation sculpture in low-Earth orbit, is represented in a multimedia video installation featuring music by the French composer, Marc Battier. Attention is focused on the serious problem of orbital debris, particularly in low-Earth orbit. Selected for COLLISION II, 192 orbital debris objects (color-coded by country of origin) are shown in the installation video along with the remainder of the 10,000 objects (small white dots) currently in the U.S. Space Command's catalog of tracked orbital debris objects. Surrounding our planet Earth, the trajectories of all of these debris, which at first might appear to be chaotic, are in fact known and listed in the U.S. Space Command's catalog of orbital debris objects in space. Using data from this catalog, and a super-computer, the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., created the simulations seen in the COLLISION II presentation. __ |

The 3D screening device equipment used for the installation of COLLISION II belongs to the "Image et Concept" entreprise. | |||

Selected as the " Project for the 21st century" by Unesco, Keo is a satellite prepared for launching by 2006 for a long journey around the planet Earth in order to land in about 50 000 years later and deliver to our remote descendants any message without...given nowadays by each of us. Once Keo on orbit, all our messages - which will remain strictly anonymous within the archives kept on Earth - are going to be analyzed by linguists and sociologists. The content will be summarized by cartographers in order to set up a public debate, a scientific device which will enable us to answer a couple of main questions such as "who are we ?" and what kind of world and society could we build starting today in terms of human betterment ? www.keo.org _ |

| Installation by Kitsou Dubois and Eric Duranteau | ||||
|
|
Sound : Alain Bellaïche - Dancers : Mathurin Bolze, Kitsou Dubois, Jörg Müller et Laura de Nercy. Choreographer Kitsou Dubois, asked set designer Eric Duranteau, to share her adventure in weightlessness. In this presentation, each of them explores space : the first through dance movements and the second through image. In a weightless universe, where movement is both fluid and infinite, the body and image are the media for a real, perceptive dance experiment that fuses with the dream of flight. In FILE/AIR, their third installation, bodies glide about in an endless travelling shot, while the eye and the camera merge together in a limitless universe. |

The multimedia installation "Open Sky" looks how artists explore conversions from military to civilian in space&sky arts. It presents a film that opens the sky to stimulate possible conversions and investigate orbital information systems in the context of post-Apollo to post-Cold War/DesertStorm esthetics and politics; a film on the background to the conversion for civil use of the "ART 32" telescope of Irbene in Latvia; a listening station - radio@stronomy - that enables us to "hear" the raw sounds issued by the planets of the solar system ; and a presentation of the members of the Acoustic Space Lab network. |

The multimedia installation created by this Japanese artist explores the birth and the death of the universe, by giving life to cosmic rays. These rays, caused by the birth and death of a star or the explosion of a supernova, regularly reach the atmosphere and the Earth, given that nearly 200 cosmic rays pass through our bodies each second. It is this physical relationship to the cosmos that "The Fullness of Emptiness" reveals, and makes "visible," using a device made up of sensors connected to hundreds of colored diodes, which retrace the trajectories. |

Forty years of NASA exploration remixed for the 21st Century. "Spaced Out" is a project created by sampling - both audio and video - the NASA archives and audiovisually remixing the footage to build something very new. Pioneering artists, such as Coldcut, Brian Kane of EBN (Emergency Broadcast Network) and Addictive TV themselves, plus a host of others, participated in the project, which comprises of 26 video clips. This is the first time Spaced Out will be shown in its entirety in France. |

Music : Bleip Cascade is a sound and visual multimedia piece created by a virtual community of seven digital French artists inviting us to share an imaginary journey, an aquatic fairy-tale aswell as a cosmic one, in other words a huge dream where stars are shining and surfing on the waves. This most original creation will be shown within the space of La Maison Européenne de la Photographie, but in the same time on the web site www.art-outsiders.com as well as on pleix.net |

"LAUNCHED INTO ORBIT" - 1988 by Miguel Chevalier Parabolic antennas and radars are today's symbols of communication, which have caught the artist's attention, given that they are the fruit of our highly technological society. Miguel Chevalier will present - with his digital photographies - the particular aesthetical vision inspired to him by the launching of satelites into orbit. "TELESCOPING" - 1988 "Telescopage" is a video/digital installation that shows the evolution in means of transmission brought on by today's space exploration and the prevalence of interconnections. "Telescopage" also more broadly focuses on the relationship that each individual has with communication tools : telephone, fax, keyboard, screen, etc. |

"SIGNATURE EARTH", "BIOSPACE PROGRAM" and "ZERO G. ART" Video installation that highlights the diverse works by Pierre Comte Visible from space, "Signature Terre" [1] is a gigantic ground installation that reaches its full significance with the satellite views presented. "Biospace Program" [2] a project that endeavors to prove that the ideal architecture for weightlessness is a sphere. An original work that gives us a glimpse of tomorrow's space shuttle cockpit. "Zero G. Art" [3] thanks to backing by the CNES, ESA and NASA, Pierre Comte has created very particular plastic works, in which the interest lies ó amongst other things ó in the way in which they move about in space. |

The Arts Catalyst founded in 1993 by
Nicola Triscott, is a European agency based in London that specializes in the relationship
between art and science whose goal is to encourage dialog, exchange and collaboration
between artists and scientists. This organization ó whose curator is Rob La Frenais
ó thus opens up new territories and spaces for creation with the setting up of multidisciplinary
research laboratories including actvities such as zero-gravity flights. "Gravitation off !" leads us to discover the extraordinary video documents of these artistic experiments performed in weightlessness. www.artscatalyst.org |

How would one design a museum if it were to be launched into orbit around the Earth? This highly original project is an arena for reflection on the nature of cultural ambition in terms of our relationship to space. This project was conceived by british artist Susan Collins as a site specific artwork for the Tate website. Aspart of the work Susan Collins commissioned the talents of numerous contributors from architects to space scientists. The site includes architectural propositions, a notional Tate Satellite and a live 'webcam'. These are the best proposals offered to the festival's visitors and on_ |

| Sculpture and vidéo installation by Arthur Woods | ||||
|

On Friday, March 23, 2001: the MIR space station plunged into the south Pacific in flames. Along with the station, the "Cosmic Dancer," the first sculpture on board the MIR since 1993, that was specifically created for the station and for weightlessness, disappeared into the ocean. With no attachment points, this sculpture offers viewers a multitude of perceptual points or rather position points, creating a three dimensional kinetic relationship with the cosmonauts. A captivating video documentary that enables the public to observe the birth and realization of this historical, yet ephemeral work. |

Space activities change our visual and mental perceptions, and enhance our knowledge. For this reason, they have become a crucial contemporary issue. For the first time ever, three devices forming an interactive triptych attempt to cast new light on the questions thus raised. The Spatiosphere [1] encourages us to question what we know by providing unique views through which space cuts across a wide variety of cultural fields. |

|

The Hydronaute [2] transforms the way we usually represent the Earth, offering a new vision based on spatial measurements of the oceans, like a geographical information system. |

|

The Stationaute [3] lets us experience the sensation of being in weightlessness aboard the International Space Station and gives us the chance to manipulate scientific experiments through an original and complex interface. |
