project for 2002  

Four Elements
underwater kiteflyings
earth wind water light

part one
the installation - crossing elements - earth, wind, water, light - new perspectives and acting.
part two
the playing gallery. active experiments : human recognition between controversal elements. open workshops. multimedia live transfers.
"FourElements" is not similar with "one room, for elements"  

 

conceptional-idea for 2002  
underwater
artkite expo 2""2

scuba photoswim : drifting screens
- pool 20m - just a bunch of kites thrown into the water, oneliners, lines with sinking weight, length 15..20m - max 2 divers - 3 rescue divers, 3 safety lines vertical close to wall - kites will float free in the water like in gravityless, almost without the static dead motionlessity like in athmospheric galleries - kites can easily be controlled like in the air by the performing divers.

 

conceptional-idea 2001  
underwater
artkite expo

artkites.
scuba expo and artkite performance.
photo-acting: printed kites against the light between the fish.

  required: cameras: photo and video. buffet. safety & guide. press-care. boat, boats.

 

conceptional-idea 1999 dec
  
underwater stuntkite delta shaped kite. some manta style. size about 50cm wsp.
sail e.v.a. fiberglass wound 8mm. test: carbon? lines: dyn. white 250daN? power not with drifting... thicker lines for visibility? safety problems by the lines?
 

a] circling by swimming backwards, indoor-like style

b] drift kiting - probably 'treibanker' (sea-anchor) or buddy-line required? makes it any sense to workout a concept for powerkiting underwater?
: tom. roro. maya. safety: always secure by buddy when piloting a kite. danger: depthmeter might me unattended.

 

1998 oct 5  
wokshp suchteln ger.

carrying the vision for a decade, we held our first 'underwaterkite plenary' on oct 5th 1998 at the vidoo-workshop 'suc-suk' suchteln, germany.

a concept became draft, and it took three and a half years to arrange the first scubakiting as enviromental performed arrangement.
