A for Alibi

In "A for Alibi", the exchange of knowledge and ideas is an essential part of the lively dialogue between science and the arts. Learning to operate and understand scientific instruments is a successful way to stimulate that discourse. On July 15th the Uqbar foundation, in collaboration with de Appel, organises the 'informance' "A for Alibi". During this afternoon the accompanying publication of the exhibition will be presented. Physicist Peter Heering (GER) will demonstrate a special solar microscope (a device that can project microscopic species) and artist Carsten Wirth (GER) will explain how a camera obscura works.
