PHOTONICS AGE | LICHTZEIT - The Forum for Light. Light is the beginning, light is life, light is energy, light is the future! http://www.lichtzeit.org

LICHTZEIT

In 2014, within the unique architectural space of the MUMA in Berlin Mitte, we will be opening an intermedia exhibition on the theme of light. This former power and heat supply station, piece of the industrial history of Berlin, will be an ideal location for this mutilayered light show. The themes of the exhibition will range from the sun gods to the high tech photonics of today; from

myths of stealing fire from the sun and divine enlightenment, to the scientific exploration of 13.7 billion year old sources of light. Useing modern interactive exhibition technics, the Lichtzeit will take a playful approch to broaden the visitors knowledge by providing a hands-on experience the most amazing hallmarks of light. Through a series of installations including renowned artists and notable partners from the realms of research and industries developing photonic technologies, we will weave different perspectives into a visionary space full of inspired brilliance. THE INITIATIVE

The idea of a holistic exhibition on the subject of light was born as an initiative of exhibition designer Peter Langer. This initiative came to inspire a professional team of architects, designers, culture managers, event marketing professionals, journalists and curators leading to the founding of LICHTZEIT e.V. in Berlin in 2011. LICHTZEIT e.V. is the developer and creative source of popular scientific and profession-specific means of conveying knowledge on the subject of light. The association has been actively promoting ideas and objectives since 2012 and is the initiator of various interdisciplinary partnerships and cooperations.

Faced with constant electricity blackouts and a failing grid, people in Pakistan took matters into their own hands. The result is a lesson for the rest of the world, and also a warning

The Atacama Desert in northern Chile receives more solar radiation per square meter than almost anywhere else on Earth — a consequence of its altitude, extremely low humidity, minimal cloud cover, and geographic position. The Cerro Dominador II project is deploying 3,500 megawatts of solar capacity into this environment and reporting a levelized cost of electricity of 1.9 US cents per kilowatt-hour, a figure that represents among the lowest electricity generation costs ever achieved for any energy source anywhere.The addition of molten salt thermal storage is what separates this project from standard solar: molten salt storage allows the facility to store heat from concentrated solar power systems and continue generating electricity after sunset, addressing the intermittency problem that standard photovoltaic solar can't solve without separate battery storage. The combination of extremely favorable solar resources and thermal storage produces around-the-clock generation potential from a renewable source.The surplus electricity this facility produces can be exported regionally through the grids of neighboring countries, allowing the exceptional solar resource in one geographic location to serve energy demand across a broader area. The geography of renewable energy is not uniform — the best sites produce extraordinary results — and the Atacama is among the best sites on Earth.
