Scientists are being asked: "How their work experience has affected their personal view and understanding of life?" and their audio answers are juxtaposed randomly with a variety of video clips and stills from science, technology, nature, and everyday life.
The piece will continue for approximately one year until the summer 2006, when a full screen installation version will be created.

N55 ROCKET SYSTEM
The N55 Rocket System enables persons to communicate their protest in a concrete way. It is a low tech, low cost, highly efficient hybrid rocket propulsion system, fueled by a mixture of polyethylene and laughing gas. The N55 Rocket System makes it possible to distribute various things from high altitudes. For example, printed matter or plant seeds could be spread
over a vast area.
