The satellite SOMNIUM K2 will be launched from this location (Neupfarrplatz) into the orbit of the hypothetical exomoon of Kepler 16b.
The works CINEMA SOMNIUM and SATELLITE SOMNIUM address the fascination of unknown space and the longing for never-before-seen images - a constant in our human society from prehistoric times to the present day. From myths and magic to stories, movies and science, our world is constantly producing dreams of another reality.
Three satellites in the form of minerals and metal crystals made of highly reflective materials are launched from Regensburg with the mission of collecting and transmitting never-before-seen images for a new science fiction film inspired by Johannes Kepler's novel SOMNIUM (The Dream).
