How can our knowledge of extraterrestrial worlds contribute to understanding our own planet and inspire new perspectives?
About
This event by S27 Art and Education is dedicated to the infinite vastness of the universe. For centuries, people have been fascinated by space travel and the journey to other planets. Long before engineers and scientists got serious about travelling in space, artists and writers had already explored it in almost all its aspects. Space serves as the ultimate projection screen for flights of fantasy par excellence, but also as a test flight for ideas that become reality.
With: Nahum, artist, musician, performer
Nahum's work combines space technologies, illusionism and hypnosis to create alternative and extreme perspectives on the human experience. He is the founding director of the KOSMICA Institute and chaired the Technical Activities Committee for the Cultural Utilization of Space (ITACCUS) of the International Astronaitical Federation (IAF).

The series of talks by S27 and organised by Berlin curator Lukas Feireiss sees itself as a platform for discursive encounters. Feireiss is well versed in the subject. His book Memories of the Moon Age is published by Spector Books.
This event is held in English.

Concert: Funeral on the Moon
After the Below & Beyond extraterrestrial symposium, we stay in space. Together with the composer and musician Milad Khawam we travel to the moon at 8 p.m. Funeral on the Moon is a compilation of his sensory memories documented in sound and presented as a live electro-acoustic performance based on trumpet, piano and electronic sounds.
