from 2 pm to 7 pm on the occasion of the exhibition <i><span style="font-style:italic">Carved Air</span></i> by Yunchul Kim. Experts from different scientific disciplines will reflect on the central aspects of the exhibition: </span></font><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial" lang="EN-US">dark
matter simulations, experiments on fluid instabilities and
interdisciplinary approaches at the interface of science, media and art.
This joint reflection from sciences and humanities examines the
significance and potential of the concept of the “fluid skies” in
contemporary cosmology, astrophysics and media theory.</span></font><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial" lang="EN-GB"> The panel will be moderated by Dr. Lucía Ayala, art historian and curator of the exhibition <i><span style="font-style:italic">Carved Air</span></i>.</span></font></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;text-align:justify"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12px" lang="EN-US"> </span></font></div><div style="margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12px"><b><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold" lang="EN-GB">Friday, November 2, 2012</span></font></b><b><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold" lang="EN-GB">, 2 p.m. – 7 p.m.</span></font></b></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;text-align:justify"><b><font face="Arial"><span

Korean artist Yunchul Kim explores the enormous epistemological
complexity behind contemporary scientific processes. With his
fluid-kinetic sculptures and electrochemical drawings, he reflects some
core aspects of current astrophysics and the objects analyzed by
scientists which have lost their direct relation to immediate
experience. Using new tuneable materials which can be aesthetically
manipulated, Yunchul Kim examines unsolved scientific questions in an
artistic context.</span></font></div><div><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12px" lang="EN-GB"> </span></font></div><div style="margin-bottom:0;margin-left:70px;margin-top:0;text-align:justify;text-indent:-70px"><span style="font-size:12px"><b><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold" lang="EN-GB">Saturday, November 3, 2012</span></font></b><b><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold" lang="EN-GB">, 2 p.m.</span></font></b></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12px"><b><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold" lang="EN-GB">Guided tour of the exhibition</span></font></b></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;text-align:justify"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12px" lang="EN-GB">Ernst Schering Foundation | Unter den Linden 32-34 |
