Sponsoring by Caparol

Today, REMOTEWORDS received a generous support by the major paint manufacture Caparol Profi.
This was not just some support. A truck delivered half a ton of high-quality roof paint divided in 27 buckets to be used for our upcoming project!
Caparol, who distributes its paint in whole Europe let its assembly line in Ober-Ramstadt especially spin to produce the special red-light tinted roof paint that is used by REMOTEWORDS since its first inscription in 2008 – that still looks brand new.
Thank you Caparol, your support is highly appreciated.

Open Day ZKM


zkm_klein_news

REMOTEWORDS @ Open Day ZKM Karlsruhe

At the open day 2015, preciesely 165 days before the start of GLOBALE, ZKM turns into a laboratory: In manifestations, lectures, performances, guided tours and concerts the visitors can test facilities how art and science approach each other.

Tuesday, January 6, 2015 11 am – 6 pm

For  “Tag der offenen Tür” the concept of REMOTEWORDS is being expanded into a virtual game: a large-scale, individually accessible satellite picture of the exhibition premises (ZKM) invites each visitor to cover one roof with a message. The statements are forthwith applied to the satellite picture. Visitors can contribute statements on issues such as urbanity, navigation, digitality, virtual simulation and city (urban) space.At predetermined times, remote-controlled drones will fly over the 10 x 6 m walk-around satellite picture. The pilotless aircraft is equipped with a CCTV system that, during its flight, relays live images of the area below onto a projection wall. The live image is practically indistinguishable from a real flyover-video of Karlsruhe.

We worked with four people for 10 days to paint a code consisting of 1058 pixels and a quotation, refering to the painter Malewitsch.

After one day of sweeping, we had the roof prepared for a double cover in bitumen. The approaching winter made days short and warming coffee-breaks longer, but after ten days in total a QR code of 121 squaremetre and the letters WHITE GROUND BLACK SQUARE beamt at us.
