Constellations: The Projection Planetarium As Immersive Knowledge Space

研究项目“星座：投影天文馆作为沉浸式知识空间”是与汉堡天文馆合作的知识转移项目。其目的是将DFG资助的研究项目“时间-图像-空间：媒体美学与知识表达之间的投影天文馆”的研究结果转移到被调查的机构，并证明在何种程度上可以通过文化科学领域的概念来照亮和加强天文馆的科普教育实践。在这样做的时候，研究项目将不仅试图转移具体的内容，但它将包括技术和美学形式，讨论知识和教育问题的天文馆。这些考虑的出发点是目前天文馆转变为一个通用的视觉媒体。这一根本性的变化是由于新的数字全罩投影技术的出现，它已经失去了天象仪和天文学之间的联系。在该研究项目的框架内，与汉堡天文馆合作的主要任务是编写和开发一个15至20分钟的全罩视频，其中突出了知识，技术和美学的相互作用。

The research project 'Constellations: The Projection Planetarium As Immersive Knowledge Space' is a knowledge transfer project in cooperation with Planetarium Hamburg. Its intention is to transfer the findings of the DFG-funded research project 'Time-Image-Space: The Projection Planetarium Between Media Aesthetics And Knowledge Representation' to the investigated institution and to prove to which extent the practice of popular scientific education in planetaria can be illuminated and enhanced by concepts stemming from the field of cultural sciences. In doing so the research project will not only try to transfer specific content but it will include the technical and aesthetic forms in discussing the issue of knowledge and education in the planetarium. The starting point for these considerations is the current transformation of the planetarium into an universal visual medium. This fundamental change is enabled by the advent of the new digital fulldome projection technology, which has already loosend the connection between planetaria and astronomy. The main task of the cooperation with Planetarium Hamburg in the framework of this research project is to compose and develop a 15 to 20 minutes fulldome video, in which the interplay of knowledge, technology and aesthetics is highlighted.
