From 2009 to 2014 he also directed the Institute for Spatial Experiments at the University of the Arts Berlin. The document provides biographical information on Eliasson and images of some of his large-scale environmental and interactive art installations such as the New York City Waterfalls from 2008 and Riverbed from 2014.
James Turrell is an American artist known for his light installations. Some of his most notable works include projection pieces from the 1960s that use colored lights and skyspaces, outdoor installations creating the illusion of sky and light through architectural features. His largest ongoing project is Roden Crater, a natural crater he is transforming into a massive naked-eye observatory through tunnels, alcoves and light. Turrell's works aim to manipulate viewer perception of light, space and time through minimal use of technology.
This document lists various sources and links related to interactive art installations that involve light, including websites for artists who have created works using light sculptures, projections, and other technologies to interact with light in public spaces. Some of the artists and art groups mentioned include Random International, Squidsoup, Ocean of Light, and Zimoun, known for light-based artworks that are interactive and involve kinetics or responses to human movement.

This document provides an overview of ecology and interactions between organisms and their environment. It begins by defining key terms like ecosystem, abiotic and biotic factors, and pH. It then discusses food webs and energy transfer between trophic levels. Population growth and limiting factors are explained using graphs. Examples of symbiotic relationships and the carbon cycle are provided. Finally, human impacts like overpopulation and pollution are discussed.
Russian culture is rich and spans centuries of history, encompassing art, traditions, literature and more. Traditional toys included matryoshka nesting dolls, which are colorful wooden dolls that fit inside one another. A popular drink is tea served in a samovar, while common foods include bread, soups, potatoes and desserts like piroshki. Popular sports are football, hockey and basketball. Pastimes also include activities like swimming, fishing and chess. Music includes folk music featuring balalaikas and accordions, while ballet is a beloved art form with works by Tchaikovsky. The Russian mentality values family and hospitality.
This document summarizes the works of American artist Dan Flavin and Italian artist Maurizio Nannucci. It describes several of Dan Flavin's installations from the 1960s that used fluorescent light tubes in different configurations and colors. It also mentions one of Maurizio Nannucci's installations from 1999 called "Where to Start From" that utilized fluorescent lighting. The document provides details on the artists, titles, materials, dimensions and locations of several key artworks by both Flavin and Nannucci focused on using fluorescent lighting.

Daan Roosegaarde is a 36-year-old Dutch artist and inventor who runs Studio Roosegaarde. His studio creates interactive designs for the landscape of the future using both digital and molecular technologies. Some of his projects include Waterlicht, which involved lighting up canals and waterways in the Netherlands with glowing algae and LED lights, and Glowing Lines, which uses solar and kinetic energy to light up bike paths and roads. Roosegaarde's goal is to use technology in new ways to enhance public spaces and improve people's experience of the built environment.
This document discusses the concept of collaborative consumption, which involves sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting and swapping goods and services through online platforms. It notes that people increasingly want access to goods and experiences rather than ownership. Collaborative consumption is enabled by critical mass, unused goods, trust among strangers, and reputation systems. The document also discusses collaborative design and providing images and further resources on the topic.

„ Ich gehe in den meisten Fällen über die Analy-
se des Ortes an ein Projekt heran. Da habe ich
nicht das mögliche Medium im Kopf, sondern
die Frage, was kann man hier machen: Oft sind
ja die Orte mehrfach determiniert – im Museum
durch die bisher gezeigte Kunst, die Geschich-
te des Museums. Im üffentlichen Raum kommen
dagegen Aspekte des Urbanen, Sozialen und
Politischen hinzu [...] Ich bin am Prozess interes-
siert – oder wie ich es einmal formulierte, an der
„ Öffentlichkeit als Labor“ [...].“
