While this international year of the Sputnik - one of this year'snational commemorations in France - is giving rise to scientific conferences, the event presented by Franck Ancelcreates an original, live link between past and future, expanding to other fields of research. The site of the greatMeudon wind tunnel, part of ONERA's heritage is the venue from which this conference/performance about the historyof the arts of the conquest of the skies and space will be broadcast. From the late-19th century painter Odilon Redonand 'The Eye Like a Strange Balloon (that) Mounts Toward Infinity', to Jacques Polieri with his 'Satellite auditoriumproject', contemporary with the lunar astronauts, by way of V. Tatline or L. Fontana... the sky has struck theimagination and the cosmos has become visionary for artists. In the age of sustainable development and emergingeconomies, the whole world does not yet communicate directly via satellites for mobile telephony, for long-rangeweather forecasts and other tools such as GPS devices, but they set the pace of our daily life. As in the past,contemporary creators make their own times their subject matter. Some are even imagining how to test weightlessnessin ways other than as future space tourists. In collaboration with Joachim Montessuis for the sound environment andJulien Bittner for the editing of the images, in partnership with France Streaming, this work will be broadcast to anycomputer QuickTime video player, streamed over the Net.www.franck-ancel.com/atxAstroramaLocation: Nice Observatory Nice-EzeOctober 4, 2007:PresentationExhibitionLocation: CNES HeadquartersOctober 4 - December 10, 2007:Exhibition "50 Years of Space"Location: Jardin du LuxembourgParis50 years of space (Exhibition at CNES Headquarters)ParisOrganization: CNESOctober 1 - January 2, 2007: Exhibition of 80 photos, very spectacular and beautiful, during three months, inpatnership with the "Sénat", on the fences of the Luembourg garden.Organization: CNESNews in IOONOS websiteLocation: Paris, Ile de FranceMedia Impressions: 500October 1 - October 12, 2007: Implementation in the IOONOS website (Space Portal for Youth) of anannouncement of World Space Week, with a referenced link to WSW portal.Report: Operation done in time.
