Heike goes media

My beloved one just recently went for a photoshooting for the Museum for Natural Science in Berlin … and here’s the result … charming, isn’t it?
Its gonna be all over the city beginning of November, so watch out!
The sad part is that originally we were both asked to go but since I was already at CERN … that’s the way it is!
Btw … of course its for a good thing … you can still become godfather of millions of unique objects in the museum’s collection.

Weltmaschine

Today the Weltmaschine exhibition starts in Berlin!
Its supposed to be a very nice exhibition on the LHC and the connected experiments such as ATLAS. There’s physicists from all over Germany coming to the Bundestag Subway Station in Berlin to explain the physics and more to the visitors.

Weltmaschine.de

Just on time for the LHC start-up the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in collaboration with the German institutes working on the LHC and it’s experiments launched a new website called Weltmaschine.de (only German though).

It is another piece of an outreach campaign that started with the very successful LHC-Train that was cruising the S-Train ring in Berlin for the Long Night of Science in June.
The Grand Finale is an exhibition in the so far unused subway station Bundestag in the period from October 15th to November 16th.

O2 World Soft Opening

Just returned from todays Soft Opening of the O2 World in Berlin, the new home of the local hockey and basketball team, the Eisbären Berlin and ALBA Berlin, respectively.
One day before the official start-up this venue was tested by hosting a friendly between an O2 World OldStars team and a Gazprom Allstars team. The OldStars team partially consisting of former Einbären player and/or Eisbären officials lost in 5:0 game against the Russian selection.
The venue is quite nice, but could certainly need some improvements … e.g. in DJ Cool, the local music responsible!

Hiroshi Sugimoto Retrospective

This weekend I’ve been to the National Gallery in Berlin to visit the ‘Hiroshi Sugimoto Retrospective’ which is on these days …
Hiroshi Sugimoto is a japanese photographer who does mostly black’n’white shots!
Quite some nice pictures he has done … I guess I liked the ‘Conceptual Forms’, the ‘Lightning Fields’ and the long-time exposure ‘Theaters’ the most!
