Blaupause - Forensik des Verschwindens (lit. Blueprint - Forensics of Disappearance) by our this year’s Artist in Factory Planetary Intimacies is now on show at the Deutsches Museum Nürnberg through July 5. 
With this art installation, Planetary Intimacies translates the retreat of glaciers into an experimental setup of light, vibration, and melting matter. A block of ice serves as a visual medium that documents its own disappearance. An audio recording of cracking glacial ice is translated into mechanical impulses. These vibrations pass through the melted ice and influence the lighting on the screen. 

Our Artist in Factory program brings artists directly into our workshops. In collaboration with the AdBK Nuremberg and Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, this program fosters the creation of works at the intersection of artistic practice, technical expertise, and scholarly reflection. 
The guiding idea behind our Artist in Factory project is to combine art and science, to let them interact with each other. This integration of science and art is intended to address the thesis that science also has an aesthetic dimension and art also has a cognitive dimension. In recent years we have repeatedly developed projects with renowned artists such as André Heller, Jennifer Townley or Anthony Howe. We would also like to offer young, up-and-coming artists the opportunity to fully exploit their artistic potential and to realize their works with our support.
