Objective
The project "Kunstwerk Erde" (The Earth as a work of art) is an art and science exhibition that consists of satellite photos that show the beauty as well as the tremendous fragility of planet earth. Taken hundreds of kilometres above the earth's surface, the photos show glaciers, volcanoes, city landscapes, water and mountains from an unusual perspective and in vivid colours. On the occasion of the German Presidency of the EU Council the exhibition will be presented in Brussels and supplemented with satellites photos of European cities and regions. The exhibition consists of an outdoor exhibition of 26 satellite photos (up to 12m') in front of the Berlaymont building (Esplanade) that will be shown from 7th March to 6th April 2007.
The indoor exhibition consists of 8 satellite photos in the Atrium of the European Council Justus Lipsius that are shown from 7th March to 29th June 2007. The pictures chosen for the exhibition combine scientific import with the extraordinary aesthetic thrill afforded by long- distance views of planet earth, a dual approach that also appeals to less scientifically-minded members of the public, providing them with an insight into highly complex subjects. The exhibition demonstrates how scientists from all disciplines use the data flow from space to measure changes in the ozone layer and pollutants in the ocean. In many aspects, the exhibition "The Earth as a Work of Art" is closely linked to current issues in European research like climate change and the energy question which are currently debated in the European Parliament and Commission.
