Electromagnetic Fountain update

Blob mystery
Regarding the strange blobs that appeared in the Electromagnetic Fountain, the problem was fixed a couple of days later, and the fountain has been running since then. Not only that, but thanks to Tobias at the Telecom Museum, it has been upgraded with new filters and other stuff that I will find out about today.

Late night  at the Museum
At 19.30 hrs tonite the Technical and Telecom museums in Oslo opens their doors for a late night event for people old enough to go to the pub and young enough to play. There’ll be flying fun in airplane hall, late night chemistry,  a soap bubble show, DJs and music workshops, a TV host quizz show – and the Electromagnetic Fountain – so I’d better start to get ready!

So far so good ….

After the second day of installation at the Norwegian Telecom Museum all is looking pretty rosy for the Electromagnetic Fountain.

But not before the discovery that the fountain’s filters had not been cleaned after its last exhibition at the National Research Days in Porsgrunn. Luckily help was at hand. Tormund, who works as technician at the museum, got down on the floor to clean the pump filters. Tobias took the bowl filter, and i just stood and watched!

Such luxury compared to this …..

Under cover

… which I am much more used to.

One more day left for setting up before the fountain opens on Saturday.

Antenna Aesthetics @ Sound of Mu

Exhibition: Antenna Aesthetics

Sound of Mu
Markveien 58, Oslo
20-31 March 2010
Opening: 20 March, 19.00

Antenna Aesthetics is a collection of photographic and audio portraits of antennas snapped and recorded in various countries between 2007and 2010. It encompasses snapshots and discreet sounds that will inhabit the Sound of Mu for the duration of the exhibition, as well as a booklet that is available for viewing at the bar. The booklet contains an index of photographs which will help you identify the locations of the photos mounted on the walls.

The brochure/text accompanying the exhibition can be downloaded here (PDF file).

At about 20.30 on the opening evening Karen Skog and her orchestra will play a concert on her wonderful hand-crafted instruments.

“One cello, one organ, one violin and one theremin stand in a room. This is an orchestra with three musicians: Sivert Nikolai Nesbø, the cellist and organist; Erik Andreas Røkland, the organist and cellist; and Karen Skog, the violinist and thereminist. One musician starts playing and the others slowly join. Together they listen to each other’s instruments and carefully tune into a single universe of sound.”
- Karen Skog

Christian Nedregård will be the evening’s DJ.

Welcome!
