It focuses on making documentary films popularizing science. The students of this programme can benefit from several well-equipped facilities such as a video studio, editing rooms etc. are provided in the renovated building (Hauerova 4), with addition of a digital fulldome (FD) projection system called Unisphere, which was opened last year (2019) in the Bezrucova 13 building. Unisphere will be also used by students of a new Master’s degree programme in Multimedia Technology. The production team of Unisphere Studio is currently working on a series of 10 short tutorials on extreme astrophysical topics, which will be completed later this year. Introduction A project co-financed from EU funds enabled a renovation of the attic of the hundred-year-old university building housing the Institute of Physics and for a consequent construction of the new digital planetarium—Unisphere—in the newly created space. This spherical projection (fulldome) has a diameter of 8 meters and a capacity of 50 seats. It is equipped with the cutting-edge Digistar 6 system allowing also for a stereoscopic projection. However, the nature of operation of the planetarium as well as the new shows to be developed in the planned student FD studio will differ from similar institutions. We would like to focus on using FD projection as an immersive medium. We are looking for experts to help us to achieve this goal. Fig. 2 Construction work in the attic space, summer 2019. Operation of the Unisphere Unisphere is primarily intended for university students. However, from September 2020, it will also start serving high school students and the general public. Several purchased shows in both classic and stereoscopic versions are prepared for them. In addition, programs acquainting visitors with the night sky above Opava will be available. Fig. 1 Unisphere is located in attic space of this building. 1 Fig. 3 Hanging dome of Unisphere with auditorium for 50 people. Unisphere studio Unisphere incorporates also a studio designed for a production of our own fulldome shows. For that purpose it is equipped with a second full version of the Digistar 6 software and a small model of the projection dome. The Institute of Physics is a top scientific institution, so it is no wonder that the first fulldome shows will map the areas that local scientists are dealing with. By the end of the year, 10 short (approximately 15 minutes each) educational shows will be created. Not only the employees of the Institute of Physics, but also students and teachers of the study program of Multimedia Technology participate in this process. Next year, we anticipate the production of the English versions of these shows and their worldwide distribution. List of new educational shows: Binary systems with neutron star Binary systems with a black hole Optical effects in extreme gravitational fields Accretion structures near black holes and neutron stars Fig. 4 Studio Unisphere with small projection dome.

If Accretion disk at black holes up close you want to be there, as it develops and grows, let us know! Astrophysics full of extremes System Specifications The Unisphere dome is an 8-meter Spitz NanoSeam® dome with a custom perforation pattern, 170 degrees of elevation and 0.38 screen gain. The screen is suspended, in the old building of the Opava Silesian University, with a seating capacity of 50. The Digistar 6 projection system with eight WQXGA DLP Laser Phosphor projectors provides a 5K full dome resolution, reaching 13.8 fL brightness (47.4 cd/m2) with only a 2.4mm pixel size. The 5.1 audio system, from Skypoint Planetariums, delivers more than 4,500W with Bose speakers and JBL subwoofers. The audio system includes a 3-language ALS system. The cove lighting is based on Skylux from Skypoint 2 Planetariums, and uses 64 bits, RGBW fixture every 30 cm. The total amount of light is 25,000 lumens and is easily controlled and fully integrated into the Digistar 6 UI. Acknowledgment The author would like to thank colleagues from the institute, faculty and university leadership for the fact that he could contribute to the project.

WORLD’S BIGGEST ASTRONOMY MUSEUM WILL OPEN IN SHANGHAI IN 2021 Lin Qing Shanghai Astronomy Museum [email protected] Abstract: Shanghai Planetarium (SHP) Project, later changing name to Shanghai Astronomy Museum (SAM), was been approved by Shanghai Municipal Government in 2014. Shanghai Science & Technology Museum was entrusted by the government to take charge of such a big project. This museum now has completed its architecture construction and the exhibition construction is in progress. SAM is scheduled to open next summer. With a building area of 38,000 square meters, it will be one of the biggest and most advanced planetariums in the world. This talk will report the background of such an exciting project, its ambitious goal, creative designing concept and newest information of construction progress. Shanghai planetarium dream will come true next year In China, the first and the only comprehensive planetarium till now is Beijing Planetarium which is a successful planetarium and inspired many astronomy fans’ dream of becoming a scientist. As the biggest and another important metropolis in China, Shanghai also desires a big planetarium to serve for the most populated area in China. The dream began as early as 1974; Shanghai Planetarium project Figure 1. Project site. has been discussed and approved by the National government. But the project has finally been canceled because of some political The Project site (Fig 1) is located in the Lingang Special Area reason.

  • About the Planetarium…
    About the Planetarium… The planetarium is located at the University of South Australia Mawson Lakes and is part of the UniSA STEM Unit. It contains a Zeiss ZKP-1 star projector that simulates the starry sky on an 8 metre dome and has seating for 45. The projector provides a remarkably realistic sense of being under the real night sky. It is used to show the sky as seen from the southern hemisphere, pointing out constellations, the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds and where to look for planets. It also demonstrates the general celestial motions that cause the sky to appear different at various times of the night and year. The planetarium is also equipped with a 1.6k projection system by which our astronomy educators take the audience on a virtual guided tour of the solar system and the universe and plays our fulldome movies. We accommodate the level of information from junior primary school to adult level. While it is one of the smaller planetaria (yes that's the plural) in Australia, it has the advantage that we can interact with the audience and their questions. We find this often provides a unique and rewarding experience for the visitor. How to get the best out of the Planetarium experience… Visitors that are prepared in advance with some information about the solar system, space exploration and stars are more likely to ask questions and get value from the session. Sessions are pitched at the audience attending so that information and the experience can be easily followed. A good place to start with basic information aimed at different age levels can be found at this weblink: http://www.ucar.edu/ Monthly Southern Star maps can be downloaded for free from this weblink: http://skymaps.com be sure to select the southern hemisphere version for the current month.

  • Sculpture May, 2011 Lee Bul: Phantasmic Morphologies
    Sculpture May, 2011 Lee Bul: Phantasmic Morphologies Michael Amy Who we are is determined to a considerable extent by what we are. The what includes our origins in time and place, gender, race, social status, sexual orientation, education, and political and religious convictions. Once we have this information, we believe that we know enough about a person to be able to classify and judge him or her. We have a tendency to embrace stereotypical thinking The South Korean artist Lee Bul moves away from what we know - or what we think we know. Her work examines how the mind functions by exploring some of its dreams, ideals, and utopias. Interviews with Lee over the years have shown her to be a highly sophisticated and articulate thinker, with a wide range of interests in the history of ideas. The cultures of both East and West, and science and technology. Her work argues that everything is in a state of flux, that many of the notions we accept as laws are often the product of bias and can-therefore-be corrected, and that the imagination constitutes an all-conquering power. Surrealism is an important source for Lee's ideas and images. She understands imagination's ties to cognition and knows from firsthand experience how it can free one from physical and ideological bonds, thus becoming of critical importance to survival. Lee was born in 1964 in a remote village In South Korea during the military dictatorship of Park Chung-Hee. Her political dissident parents were almost constantly on the move, which she says, "taught me certain strategies of survival.
