My research and experiments with DIY aerial photography in Palestine-Israel focuses on civic science in spaces of civic inequality mostly in East/West Jerusalem. It shifts away from the focus on environmental issues; though the environment is always there within a range of systemic rights abuse, from discriminatory urban planning, through land expropriation to forced displacement. I work with communities, NGO's and local institutions entangled in urgent issues who find it relevant and inspiring to create their own, high quality, local scale aerial photography. Some of the collaborations presented here are activist projects oriented towards a particular issue, workshop or event such as the cases of Beit Safafa and Silwan. Other projects present long term collaborative work which is made possible through ongoing collaborations with affected communities, funded through partnerships with NGO's and academic programs such as the work we do in west Jerusalem with the civic architecture unit in Bezalel, and the work in the Negev (south of Israel) with Zochrot and Forensic Architecture, and the research collaboration with Dorit Naaman in Qatamon.

[[File:High_shot_MissionONE_02.JPG|800px]]
  
The Shelter container location in Aargauerstrasse is open for anyone to come. It is possible to walk around the containers, but there are tall trees and some wires between the 2 sections of containers facing each other.
+
[[File:TestFlight-360_Day2.jpg|800px]]
Right next to this container living space, is another very similar container area with ateliers and offices. Also easy access and even more space to flight the balloon
 
  
- Balloon would be easier than Kite.<br />
+
=== Urs' ultra-simple low-cost aerial photography experiments ===
- The balloon has to be very high in the air.<br />
 
- There are not security guards or visible surveillance; although these are living areas and we should keep a distance from the windows and not be too loud or invasive<br />
 
- There is a long side walk by the 2 containers areas. A straight Balloon tour from the outside could give us a nice general view of the street - containers<br />
 
- If we want to integrate the people living there, we could have a have a table with the material, and maybe some tea and cookies ;) for them (to create a friendly inviting space for them to join).<br />
 
- Important is to be open to explain the project to anyone who asks.<br />

We arrived at the Riverbank just before sunset and decided to mount the Mi Sphere 360 camera, despite the little drops of rain. There was some electric power lines and we carefully flew some balloons trying not to get to close to them. Very fast darkness fell and the lights of the city flashed up...

image: resolution 16 MP, an image every 3 seconds.
 
Unfortunately the images are not complete and therefore can't be looked at or opened with a standart program. Corinne still kept the photos, maybe we can decode them some other way. We think the high resolution would have made it necessary to have an image every 10 seconds (more processing time).

Update 7. August 2018:
 
== HIGHLIGHTS EXHIBITION 2018 AT ZHDK ==
 
 
After the second mapping at Aargauerstrasse with many asylum seekers joining the making of ballooning cameras and flying, we received the great message to exhibit our idea and work at HIGHLIGHTS 2018 (see all Information here: [[https://www.zhdk.ch/highlights]]).
 
 
Our exhibition will contain 4 parts:
 
 
>> materials of the mapping. balloons, plastic bottles, knives, cameras etc.
 
>> 2 maps. 1 mapping of Toni/shelter, 1 mapping of Basislager/shelter Aargauerstrasse, printed.
 
>> database. to use highlights as a platform to connect target groups.
 
>> meet-ups. open discussion format on specific dates on important topics about migration in Zurich / Switzerland.
 
 
Our team works to make the exhibition as interesting and fun for visitors as this project is for us. THANK YOU to: Kathrin Maliszewski, Stefan Hegglin, Marc Dusseiller, Dominique Lämmli, Annemarie Bucher, Mia Seulmi Kang, Michael Schmid, Tessa Tedorovic u.a.!

The Taipei Balloonists

DIWO Culture : Hacking art/Sci/Tech & Activism

E組:馬可·杜塞耶──離地-高灰 Group E: Marc Dusseiller ─ Off Ground – Fly High

http://a-n-d.tw/index.php/2018/09/13/e/

DIWO - Do It With Others

Leadtext

To engage with the most pressing issues (environment, social injustice, globalisation) of society, artist have embraced new transdisciplinary practices, which combine the use of open source tools (OST) and hacking strategies in a collaborative manner with "others". DIWO (Do It With Others) Culture will introduce such strategies through case studies, hands-on experimentation and team projects to the students. This first edition will focus on OST for environmental monitoring and artistic interpretation.

Target Audience

Artists & designers, socially engaged practioners, creatives in general, researchers, hackers, activists and anyone interested in DIWO Culture - HaSTA.

No previos knowledge in electronics, hardware or software tools is necessary, but a basic interest in learning something new is crucial.

Max. Participants is 12.

In case of high interest the participants will be selected by a criteria to increase diversity of the group (gender, cultural background, skills and previous educational training)

Learning Goals

  • basic understanding of a selection of open source tools for environmental monitoring
  • first steps into sensing and electronics
  • learn how to use open source tools for aerial mapping
  • improve cross-cultural / transdisciplinary communication and collaboration
  • get insigth and compare different artistic practices in a global context

Location

Content

The course will be held in english.

Part 1: Introduction and Case Studies

  • Introduction into hacking strategies
  • Group discussion of examples of artistic & activist practices
  • team formations

Part 2: Practice and Experimentation in Teams

  • Basic overview of environmental mapping methods
  • DIY aerial photography
  • Field-tests see here

Preparing Tools for Field Trip

Mapping Expedition ONE - Longshan

Rainbreak and Coconuts

Mapping Expedition TWO - Riverside

We arrived at the Riverbank just before sunset and decided to mount the Mi Sphere 360 camera, despite the little drops of rain. There was some electric power lines and we carefully flew some balloons trying not to get to close to them. Very fast darkness fell and the lights of the city flashed up...

Postproduction

creating stabilized 360 videos

Download and edit using the Mi Sphere app on android or iphone. Troubles with the low-performance phones like xioami 4x. Use the export function in the app, which creates a rectilinear version of the file.

Example Projects

Hagit Keysar - The DIY Aerial Testimony

https://exposingtheinvisible.org/films/from-my-point-of-view/#movie

My research and experiments with DIY aerial photography in Palestine-Israel focuses on civic science in spaces of civic inequality mostly in East/West Jerusalem. It shifts away from the focus on environmental issues; though the environment is always there within a range of systemic rights abuse, from discriminatory urban planning, through land expropriation to forced displacement. I work with communities, NGO's and local institutions entangled in urgent issues who find it relevant and inspiring to create their own, high quality, local scale aerial photography. Some of the collaborations presented here are activist projects oriented towards a particular issue, workshop or event such as the cases of Beit Safafa and Silwan. Other projects present long term collaborative work which is made possible through ongoing collaborations with affected communities, funded through partnerships with NGO's and academic programs such as the work we do in west Jerusalem with the civic architecture unit in Bezalel, and the work in the Negev (south of Israel) with Zochrot and Forensic Architecture, and the research collaboration with Dorit Naaman in Qatamon.
