Program

Editorial Inhalt / Contents
“How many eyes do you need to watch a fulldome show?”
“As many eyes as there are in the audience!”
“Will they all look in the same direction?”
“Probably not!”
Oh!”
Whether you are here as a producer, student, artist or a member of the audience,
whether your motivation is professional, poetic or personal, whether
you are a senior citizen of Domeland or an enthusiastic newcomer – we hope
you will enjoy five event-packed days of immersive 360-degrees shows, workshops,
discussions, performances, tech-talks, business connections, start-up
schemes, entertainment, inspiration and a general mingling of friends and
ideas from far and near.
The ongoing evolution of digital image and sound projection in a gigantic
hemispheric space opens new horizons for media, art and the planetarium.
At the same time it dissolves the habits and conventions of media production
and consumption. Thus the motto of this year's FullDome Festival is
»Dissolving Space«.
Entering the dome requires a certain pioneering spirit and a tolerance for the
paradoxical. We don't expect all the mysteries and challenges of that medium
to be solved by the end of this week. But we believe it's a worthwhile endeavor
to come together and share, assess, applaud and promote the variety
and quality the genre has to offer – from full-length feature shows to experimental
clips and short films, from cosmic story telling to science visualization
to indulging in visual splendor.
We are honored by the support we receive from so many individuals and
institutions from around the world. Thank you all for your contributions and
your commitment without which this festival could not exist.
We are happy to announce that the 7th FullDome Festival is scheduled for
May 3rd-4th, 2013. The special theme will be »Ornamental Dances«.
That's the future. Now to the present:
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 6th international FullDome Festival
at the Jena Zeiss-Planetarium!

“A Part of the Sky Called Orion” is perfect for 2nd grade and above. It
follows curriculum guidelines as it looks at the big ideas that have guided
human understanding of the cosmos and its patterns in the sky. The
program looks at how three different ancient cultures looked at the same
part of the sky we know as the constellation Orion. We focus on the Greek,
Egyptian, and Inupiaq cultures along with their different star stories and
images using the night sky. It is thoroughly enjoyed by children and
adults and is a great program to explore the heavens.

In the side arm of spiral galaxy Milky Way we share a small home
with a fascinating neighborhood of 8 wondrous Planets and a powerful
Sun. These Planets are so different from each other that they hardly can be
called from one family yet they create a perfect harmony. We’ve used the
same harmony to create the show. From the Burning Sun, Lava surface of
Venus to the huge stormy belts of Jupiter or the unimaginably beautiful
Saturn, this show is full of never seen footages meant for dome theaters.

Experience the Aurora
Evans & Sutherland
Thursday, May 10, 22.15 pm
Over seven months in the Arctic Circle, our crews captured timelapse images
of the Aurora Borealis with high resolution digital SLR cameras outfitted
with fisheye lenses. The results are spectacular. For the first time the
aurora has been captured as it was meant to be experienced, as a display
that covers the entire sky. This immersive show shares the science behind
the aurora and tells the story of our quest to find and photograph the
aurora for wraparound display in fulldome theaters.
Galaxy Time
Planétarium Galilée
Thursday, May 10, 10.45 pm
“Galaxy time” is an invitation to enter a fascinating world, the world of
the galaxies. Such a journey can be made only by using scales of distances
and of disproportionate time with those whom we manipulate in our
everyday life. Planetarium Galilée’s production team has created this 23
minute fulldome film with the idea of having the audience immersed in
a musical voyage through the mysterious and beautiful world of the galaxies.
On May 9, 2003, Hayabusa was launched aboard M-V Launch Vehicle to
collect samples from the near-Earth asteroid, Itokawa. A sample, if Hayabusa
can bring one home, could be a key to learning the secrets of our
solar system’s birth. Hayabusa attempts to land on Itokawa after traveling
approx. 2 billion km. However, landing is no easy task. Can Hayabusa return
a piece of the past to Earth? Watch the exciting events unfold as this
true-life, fulldome adventure reveals the technological triumphs that ultimately
bring a sample of Itokawa back to Earth in June, 2010.

Into the Deep takes you on a journey to the mysterious world of eternal
darkness, the deep sea, a world covering more than the half of the living
space on Earth. Despite all technological achievements we know more
about the surface of the Moon than about this space this much closer.
The show indicates the history of the deep sea research as well as presents
the living creatures living of this world. It also illustrates the technique
of submersibles, the underwater geology and the myths grown up
around the abyss since the dawn of seafaring.
Lamps of Atlantis
Evans & Sutherland
Tuesday, May 8, 8 pm
Our search for the lost continent of Atlantis takes us on a journey through
the astronomical knowledge and understanding of the ancient Greeks.
How did the constellations get their names? What different patterns did
ancient cultures see in the sky? Was Atlantis a real place? Did it really sink
into the sea? We will uncover clues to help us solve this age-old mystery.

By Martin Kusch / kondition pluriel. Inner Voices is a captivating
encounter with a woman‘s delirium through intensified
sight and sound. In an attempt to explore strong sensorial
empathy in a dome environment, the film plays with optical illusion
and perceptiual displacement. Inspired by David Lynch
and Sarah Kane‘s atmospheres, the 3D landscapes are driven in
a continual mutation by woman‘s voices. The film draws on the
live performance “Intérieur”, presented at the Satosphére‘s opening,
in October 2011, in Montréal. 14 minutes.

Migrations
Audri Phillips
Saturday, May 12, Clips Night
Migrations is a visual poem. Many of the visual metaphors
center around the notion of floating free and liberation. All
creatures on the earth have migrated, not only from place
to place but also in the sense of a physical change of state.
This could be thought of as dissolving space. Now with
global warming there unfortunately will also be more forced
migrations. 5 minutes.

installation in 1999 as “Pretend Research” moving the
work into the fulldome arena. “Pretend” looks at how little
information we really need in an age of information overload
exploring the moving border between pure form and
recognizable content. 4 minutes.

»Blue« is inspired by Chinese porcelain. The shape of porcelain
bowl is compatible to fulldome, my interpretation of
Dissolving Space. Blue in China is the symbol of Life. Blue and
white show the charm of peace, simplicity but elegance, what
is advocated and pursued in Chinese culture. The patterns imply
the meaning of lucky, which reflects people’s yearning on the
beautiful life. The blue patterns are formed after high temperature
firing, and never fade, so blue and white porcelain represents permanence.

Long ago, two young people fall in love after studying together.
But due to ancient Chinese custom, they were not
able to get married. Then, both of them refused to marry the
ones who were arranged by their families. The two young
people died of illness. After their death, many people felt
pity about the real story. They created a myth, and gave the
story a beautiful ending. They believe the two people turn into
butterflies, and be in love forever. My movie is just expressing
the butterflies‘ happy life after their suffering. This movie is in a
traditional Chinese painting style.

Immersion from an art historian‘s view
The lecture will not deal with immersion in general but instead focus on some aspects of the subject
that stem from art history or art theory. Furthermore, the considerations and examples presented won‘t
suppose immersion to be something that is limited to film or new media but more to certain aesthetic
preliminaries. Christian Janecke has been a full-time professor for art history at the Hochschule für
Gestaltung, Offenbach am Main (Germany) since 2006. Janecke‘s area of specialisation is modern and
contemporary art, partly focusing on art in relation to science, theatre or performance, fashion or design.

Freischwebende Sterne im Lecture Room
Stereokomparator
Im letzten Text der Einbahnstraße mit dem Titel „Zum Planetarium“ definiert Walter Benjamin die Technik
als „Beherrschung vom Verhältnis von Natur und Menschheit“. Das heißt, wie Giorgio Agamben bemerkt,
dass weder der Mensch die Natur noch die Natur den Menschen beherrschen soll. Und nicht einmal in
einem dritten Begriff als dialektische Synthese aufgehoben werden soll. Nach Benjamin organisiert sich
in der Technik vielmehr „eine Physis“, in welcher menschlicher Kontakt mit dem Kosmos sich neu und
anderes bildet als in der Antike. Hier ist die Photographie zu nennen, zu der „eine andere Natur“ als die
zum Auge sprechen soll. Nach der Einführung der Photographie in die Astronomie befassen sich die
Astronomen immer mehr mit dieser anderen Natur. Dabei geht es aber - gemäß Benjamins Modell einer
„Dialektik im Stillstand“ - nicht um die Entkoppelung des Beobachters von der Beobachtung, sondern
um „eine Physis“, die sich in den freischwebenden Sternen im Stereokomparator andeutet.

Janus 2.0 - God of Fulldome Star Theater
Traditionally depicted with two faces looking in opposite directions, the Roman god Janus is said to be
able to view front and back, past and future simultaneously. Obviously, Janus is much better equipped to
enjoy fulldome shows than the ordinary human being, whose field of vision is limited to just a segment of
our surrounding 360 degree reality. When we go to the movies, or work with the computer, the screens
in front of us don’t usually overstretch the limits of our forward facing field of vision. But in a dome with
sensory projection fully surrounding us, life appears in a different light, and we are required to rethink
how we should approach and interpret such expanded perceptual experiences more fully. Can Janus help
us understand the specific challenges of the fulldome medium? Students of Bauhaus-University Weimar
discussed this question and found their own interpretations of „Janus 2.0 - God of Fulldome“.
