Sabine Sch\u00e4fer. EUROPA – so nah, so fern, 2021 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The centerpiece of the exhibition is a two-part work by Karlsruhe-based media artist and composer Sabine Sch\u00e4fer. Her works are part of the collections of the ZKM and the city of Wolfsburg.<\/p>\n

The two-part work has visual and auditory components: 16 printed glass plates are suspended in the free-standing, luminous light metal object. Associated with it is a trio of music stands that hold the notations of a three-part sound composition using large-format QR codes.<\/p>\n

The image gallery presents colorful portraits of the earth in shades ranging from blue and yellow-orange to red and bright white, hung in double rows around the rectangular object.<\/p>\n

These are satellite images of eight continental views and as many European Union capitals, showing views at night.<\/p>\n

The base material for the city views are satellite images from the ISS, International Space Station, which were processed by scientists for this project. Four out of eight of the aforementioned big city views can be scanned using a smartphone or tablet and ARTIVIVE’s free augmented reality app.<\/p>\n

In contrast to the light-filled metropolitan views, the less to not at all illuminated sections of the earth reveal plan squares that refer to the more natural state of the earth’s surface, facing away from the sun, not shining by themselves.<\/p>\n

Where the luminosity of the cities reveals their structural pattern to us, these are shaped by bluish-looking framings in the upper and lower areas into a landscape format characteristic of the cinema image. These framings are aesthetically implied as an earth atmosphere, but in the context of the large cities they refer to their inherent ambience – the invisible haze that has lingered over them since their creation. The decontextualized atmosphere becomes a framing and thus a content element that can be interpreted as a price without which neither the big city nor the view of it can be had.<\/p>\n

By means of augmented reality, the viewer can undertake virtual zoom-in journeys into the big cities, Berlin, Brussels, Paris, and Rome, via an image-scanning app, and set in motion or change his visual and mentally associative view of courses and relations.<\/p>\n
