2007 Annual Report - World Space Week

1957-2007: from Sputnik Satellite to Explorer ArtLocation: ONERA Paris - MeudonOctober 4, 2007: On 4 October 2007, Franck Ancel will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first launch of anartificial satellite,'1957-2007: from Sputnik Satellite to Explorer Art'a creation that will be broadcast exclusively over theInternet between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Paris time. While this international year of Sputnik - one of this year's nationalcommemorations in France - is giving rise to scientific conferences, the event presented by Franck Ancel creates anoriginal, live link between past and future, expanding to other fields of research. The site of the great Meudon windtunnel, part of ONERA's heritage, illustrated in the work 'From Aerostation to Aerospace*, is the venue from which thisconference/performance about the history of the arts of the conquest of the skies and space will be broadcast. Fromthe late-19th century painter Odilon Redon and 'The Eye Like a Strange Balloon (that) Mounts Toward Infinity', toJacques Polieri with his 'Satellite auditorium project', contemporary with the lunar astronauts, by way of V. Tatline or L.Fontana, the sky has struck the imagination and the cosmos has become visionary for artists. In the age of sustainabledevelopment and emerging economies, the whole world does not yet communicate directly via satellites for mobiletelephones, for long-range weather forecasts and other tools such as GPS devices, but they set the pace of our dailylife. As in the past, contemporary creators make their own times their subject matter. Some are even imagining how totest weightlessness in ways other than as future space tourists. In collaboration with Joachim Montessuis for thesound environment and Julien Bittner for the editing of the images, in partnership with France Streaming, this work willbe broadcast to any computer QuickTime video player, streamed over the Net. In 1957 we could hear the beeping ofthe Sputnik, in orbit around the earth, as a moving virtuality, in 2007 there are new avenues for the arts, thetechnologies and science that lead us towards other infinite spaces.rtsp://qts.zonepro.fr/ancel#rtsp://qts.zonePostage stampParis, Toulouse, Evry and KourouOctober 4, 2007: "1957-2007, la conquête de l'espace" (Post stamp).
