For the 6th year in a row, Wintergloed makes the city of Bruges shine with a beautiful light trail. "FIRE & ICE" makes you discover 10 special light installations that connect the warmth of fire and the icy splendor of winter.
Light installation "The battle for balance" on the tower of the Jerusalem Chapel.
The ancient mysterious Jerusalem Chapel functions as a meeting place for the cold dust wind of the moon and the glowing stardust of the sun. An exciting spectacle arises and on top of the tower these two forces fight for the upper hand. But will they ultimately find an unexpected balance?

Al voor het 6de jaar op rij laat Wintergloed de stad schitteren met een prachtig lichtparcours. "VUUR & IJS" van het Brugse centrum tot langs de Vesten ontdek je 10 bijzondere lichtinstallaties die de warmte van vuur en de ijzige pracht van de winter met elkaar verbinden.
Lichtinstallatie "De strijd om het evenwicht" op de toren van de Jeruzalemkapel.
De eeuwenoude mysterieuze Jeruzalemkapel fungeert als ontmoetingsplek voor de koude stofwind van de maan en het gloeiende sterrenstof van de zon. Een spannend schouwspel ontstaat en bovenop de toren strijden deze twee krachten om de overhand. Maar vinden ze uiteindelijk een onverwacht evenwicht?

Slogan - "Creative Technology"
design and functionality
CITROEN Motor Systems
Creative Technology bedeutet:
● Design mit sinnvollem Nutzen (Lichtgeometrie der Scheinwerfer ist hervorragend)
● Modernes Motormanagement in Zusammenarbeit mit BMW und anderen Herstellern ergibt eine Citroen-spezifische
verbesserte Common-Rail-Technik und Turbolader-Steuerung
Turbolader können den Druck (Stauaufladung) und die Bewegungsenergie der Abgase (Stoßaufladung) nutzen.
Mit einem zusätzlichen Ladeluftkühler kann ein höherer Arbeitsdruck bei gleicher Temperatur im Zylinder erreicht werden.
Verwendung von spezieller Pyroelektrizität
- Dieseleinspritzsysteme mit piezoelektrischen Aktoren
- Abgasturbolader (ATL)
- Variable Turblader-Geometrie (VTG) - verstellbare Elemente
Drehzahlbegrenzung der Turboladers:
- Wastegate - Überschuss-Behandlung beim Turbolader
Die meisten Abgasturbolader benötigen ein Abgasregelventil (Wastegate), weil sonst bei zunehmender Abgasmenge ein zu hoher Ladedruck erreicht würde, bzw. die maximal zulässige Drehzahl des Laufzeuges (Turbine) überschritten würde.
● Der dem Rußpartikelfilter FAP vorgeschaltete SCR-Katalysator (Selective Catalytic Reduction) mit Additiv-Einspritzung ermöglicht eine schnellere Abgasbehandlung als andere Systeme und ist ausschließlich bei PSA verfügbar.
-
• Mit den BlueHDi-Motoren bietet CITROËN eine Technologie zur Abgasbehandlung, die zu den effektivsten Lösungen auf dem Markt gehört. Die neuen Motoren BlueHDi 100, 120, 150 und 180 erfüllen die Anforderungen der Euro 6-Norm durch die deutliche Verringerung von Verbrauch und Emissionen.
• BlueHDi (mit SCR-Katalysator)
CITROËN C4 Picasso BlueHDi 150 6-Gang-Automatik (110 kW):
kombiniert 4,5 l/100 km; CO₂-Emissionen kombiniert 117 g/km;

"Fahren wie Gott in Frankreich"
...
Und ein Bissel Arroganz konnte man sich mit dem Spruch durch das Alleinstellungsmerkmal hydro-pneumatisches Fahrwerk sehr wohl leisten.
Der Motor BlueHDi 150 (110 kW/150 PS) ist für den CITROËN C4 Picasso und Grand C4 Picasso verfügbar. Die Motoren BlueHDi 120 und 180 (85 kW/120 PS, 133 kW/180 PS) sind für den DS 5 erhältlich. Mit dem CITROËN C4 Cactus wurde der Motor BlueHDi 100 (73 kW/99 PS) eingeführt.
● Die Hydropneumatik ist ein Federungssystem, das mittels Hydraulik und Pneumatik die Funktionen von Dämpfung und Federung leistet. Es wurde in den 1950er-Jahren von Paul Magès für den französischen Automobilhersteller Citroën für dessen Pkw entwickelt.
Hydropneumatik bietet potentiell eine komfortable, weiche Federung mit progressiver Kennlinie, variable Bodenfreiheit sowie automatische Niveauregulierung, passt sich also der Fahrzeugbelastung an.

Sparsamer Diesel: Mittelklasse

I dedicate this title to Ryan!!! (dont' know if he'll see this though).
It's funny I'm doing this for Around The World when I just got into a Flickrmail conversation about my country yesterday.
It's true nothing much comes out of Singapore, we're so small and young. But we did come up with Creative Technology, who came up with the Sound Blaster.
BTW, we kinda own the patent that goes into your ipod's interface too!
AND + W2 is a four day programme of debates and artworks, constituting the only Games time cultural collaboration between the Vancouver 2010 and London 2012. It is produced by W2 and is thematically structured around the Abandon Normal Devices (AND) festival of new cinema and digital culture. AND is a Legacy Trust funded programme in England’s Northwest. Produced in association with FACT, Tenantspin and Dada for Vancouver 2010 and the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad programme in England’s Northwest.
What does it mean to be human in the 21st century? How are definitions of disability and ability being transgressed in art and sport? What is the role of science, technology and new media in establishing new norms? What are the characteristics of our new biotechnological economy? Speakers from the UK, Canada, Netherlands, and USA present daily debates, film screenings and parties on these three themes.
Feb 20, 2010 7pm-9pm.
.
COMPETE: Faster, Higher, Stronger .
.
The Olympic Games are measures of human excellence but what happens when those measures are disrupted by self-augmentation and body modification? Our biological apparatus is in flux, vulnerable, yet re-imagined by technology. What will ability and disability mean in an era of genetically modified athletes and surgically sculpted children? How are artists contributing to this research and debate? For example, genetically screening for ‘perfect pitch’ may produce ideal singers, but whose ideal? Alternatively, what will the integration of future technology within biology mean for how humans communicate with each other via performances (dance, music or sport)? .
Panel presentation featuring Amber Case (USA) and Dr. Jim Rupert (Canada) with interrogation by Ruth Gould (UK) and Andy Miah moderating.

COAST SALISH TERRITORIES (Vancouver) – The Second Annual Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival (VIMAF) will be showcasing the best of cutting-edge Indigitized artists and their works November 8-11 at a handful of venues on Coast Salish Territories. VIMAF brings together special guests from across Turtle Island, including Alanis Obomsawin, who will be presented with VIMAF’s Lifetime Achievement Award. She will be joined by directors and producers from Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg and BC. Their works will be shown at the West Coast’s only Native media arts festival, including a variety of mediums such as short films, music videos, documentaries, video art, animation, feature length films, interactive media, video projection, and broadcasting.
Programming at the weekend festival will celebrate a number of trailblazing artists from around Turtle Island with Gala and Conference events, interactive installations, National Film Board (NFB) feature film premieres, and evening musical programs, all meshing traditional and contemporary experiences of Indigenous Peoples. A number of prominent featured installations and films will be making their west coast debut at VIMAF, including NFB/imagineNATIVE partnership De Nort, an online interactive journey and onsite installation from the Winnipeg/Montreal ITWĒ Collective exploring life and experiences on a northern Manitoba reserve and how through forced reservation traditional memories and knowledge are being replaced.
“Presenting web-based work alongside radio, television,and cinema really show the multi-platform storytelling strategies being used to tell our stories,” said Ronnie Harris, member, VIMAF Coordinating Committee. “Using digital tools is a popular strategies for Indigenous storytellers on the West Coast.”
NFB Film premieres include Director Alanis Obomsawin’s The People of the Kattawapiskak River, returning Residential School lens We Were Children, West Coast Smokin’Fish, Every Emotion Costs, and others. VIMAF and W2 Community Media Arts Society resident media artist, Bracken Hanuse Corlett (Wuikinuxv-Klahoose), will also be projecting, Wuulhu – To Fuse Together, a series of digital installations throughout Festival home venue, W2, for the weekend. Musical offerings fuse traditional sounds with cutting edge electronic-influenced sets provided by the East Coasts’ A Tribe Called Red who are playing at Fortune Sound Club, and locals Skookum Sound System, as well as DJ’s Annashay, Vancouver DMC Finalist DJ Krisp playing VIMAF’s Indigenous Afterdark: Around The Sun.
The 2012 Festival will be headquartered at W2, with other events taking place at SFU Woodward’s Cinema, National Film Board – Pacific Region, and Fortune Sound Club. “Anchoring the Festival in Vancouver’s original settlement is fitting,” says Harris, “we are using the Woodward’s media hub which is made up of W2, SFU and the NFB, to bring a focal point for understanding what is Indigenous culture today in the centre of the city.”
VIMAF is a media arts organization founded in 2011 to re-affirm the presence of Indigenous digital production in Coast Salish Territory. VIMAF holds space for Indigenous media artists to show their works in an environment that fosters cultural discourse, critical awareness and interactivity through the independent production, stimulation, examination and illumination of Indigenous socio-political histories and current realities.
VIMAF gratefully acknowledges the support of W2 Community Media Arts Society, First People’s Cultural Council, Hastings Crossing BIA, National Film Board – Interactive Studio, and a dozen Indigenous organizations.

A number of prominent featured installations and films will be making their west coast debut at VIMAF, including NFB/imagineNATIVE partnership De Nort, an online interactive journey and onsite installation from the Winnipeg/Montreal ITWĒ Collective exploring life and experiences on a northern Manitoba reserve and how through forced reservation traditional memories and knowledge are being replaced.
“Presenting web-based work alongside radio, television,and cinema really show the multi-platform storytelling strategies being used to tell our stories,” said Ronnie Harris, member, VIMAF Coordinating Committee. “Using digital tools is a popular strategies for Indigenous storytellers on the West Coast.”
NFB Film premieres include Director Alanis Obomsawin’s The People of the Kattawapiskak River, returning Residential School lens We Were Children, West Coast Smokin’Fish, Every Emotion Costs, and others. VIMAF and W2 Community Media Arts Society resident media artist, Bracken Hanuse Corlett (Wuikinuxv-Klahoose), will also be projecting, Wuulhu – To Fuse Together, a series of digital installations throughout Festival home venue, W2, for the weekend. Musical offerings fuse traditional sounds with cutting edge electronic-influenced sets provided by the East Coasts’ A Tribe Called Red who are playing at Fortune Sound Club, and locals Skookum Sound System, as well as DJ’s Annashay, Vancouver DMC Finalist DJ Krisp playing VIMAF’s Indigenous Afterdark: Around The Sun.
The 2012 Festival will be headquartered at W2, with other events taking place at SFU Woodward’s Cinema, National Film Board – Pacific Region, and Fortune Sound Club. “Anchoring the Festival in Vancouver’s original settlement is fitting,” says Harris, “we are using the Woodward’s media hub which is made up of W2, SFU and the NFB, to bring a focal point for understanding what is Indigenous culture today in the centre of the city.”
VIMAF is a media arts organization founded in 2011 to re-affirm the presence of Indigenous digital production in Coast Salish Territory. VIMAF holds space for Indigenous media artists to show their works in an environment that fosters cultural discourse, critical awareness and interactivity through the independent production, stimulation, examination and illumination of Indigenous socio-political histories and current realities.

VIMAF brings together special guests from across Turtle Island, including Alanis Obomsawin, who will be presented with VIMAF’s Lifetime Achievement Award. She will be joined by directors and producers from Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg and BC. Their works will be shown at the West Coast’s only Native media arts festival, including a variety of mediums such as short films, music videos, documentaries, video art, animation, feature length films, interactive media, video projection, and broadcasting.
Programming at the weekend festival will celebrate a number of trailblazing artists from around Turtle Island with Gala and Conference events, interactive installations, National Film Board (NFB) feature film premieres, and evening musical programs, all meshing traditional and contemporary experiences of Indigenous Peoples. A number of prominent featured installations and films will be making their west coast debut at VIMAF, including NFB/imagineNATIVE partnership De Nort, an online interactive journey and onsite installation from the Winnipeg/Montreal ITWĒ Collective exploring life and experiences on a northern Manitoba reserve and how through forced reservation traditional memories and knowledge are being replaced.
“Presenting web-based work alongside radio, television,and cinema really show the multi-platform storytelling strategies being used to tell our stories,” said Ronnie Harris, member, VIMAF Coordinating Committee. “Using digital tools is a popular strategies for Indigenous storytellers on the West Coast.”
NFB Film premieres include Director Alanis Obomsawin’s The People of the Kattawapiskak River, returning Residential School lens We Were Children, West Coast Smokin’Fish, Every Emotion Costs, and others. VIMAF and W2 Community Media Arts Society resident media artist, Bracken Hanuse Corlett (Wuikinuxv-Klahoose), will also be projecting, Wuulhu – To Fuse Together, a series of digital installations throughout Festival home venue, W2, for the weekend. Musical offerings fuse traditional sounds with cutting edge electronic-influenced sets provided by the East Coasts’ A Tribe Called Red who are playing at Fortune Sound Club, and locals Skookum Sound System, as well as DJ’s Annashay, Vancouver DMC Finalist DJ Krisp playing VIMAF’s Indigenous Afterdark: Around The Sun.
The 2012 Festival will be headquartered at W2, with other events taking place at SFU Woodward’s Cinema, National Film Board – Pacific Region, and Fortune Sound Club. “Anchoring the Festival in Vancouver’s original settlement is fitting,” says Harris, “we are using the Woodward’s media hub which is made up of W2, SFU and the NFB, to bring a focal point for understanding what is Indigenous culture today in the centre of the city.”
VIMAF is a media arts organization founded in 2011 to re-affirm the presence of Indigenous digital production in Coast Salish Territory. VIMAF holds space for Indigenous media artists to show their works in an environment that fosters cultural discourse, critical awareness and interactivity through the independent production, stimulation, examination and illumination of Indigenous socio-political histories and current realities.
VIMAF gratefully acknowledges the support of W2 Community Media Arts Society, First People’s Cultural Council, Hastings Crossing BIA, National Film Board – Interactive Studio, and a dozen Indigenous organizations.

COAST SALISH TERRITORIES (Vancouver) – The Second Annual Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival (VIMAF) will be showcasing the best of cutting-edge Indigitized artists and their works November 8-11 at a handful of venues on Coast Salish Territories. VIMAF brings together special guests from across Turtle Island, including Alanis Obomsawin, who will be presented with VIMAF’s Lifetime Achievement Award. She will be joined by directors and producers from Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg and BC. Their works will be shown at the West Coast’s only Native media arts festival, including a variety of mediums such as short films, music videos, documentaries, video art, animation, feature length films, interactive media, video projection, and broadcasting.
Programming at the weekend festival will celebrate a number of trailblazing artists from around Turtle Island with Gala and Conference events, interactive installations, National Film Board (NFB) feature film premieres, and evening musical programs, all meshing traditional and contemporary experiences of Indigenous Peoples. A number of prominent featured installations and films will be making their west coast debut at VIMAF, including NFB/imagineNATIVE partnership De Nort, an online interactive journey and onsite installation from the Winnipeg/Montreal ITWĒ Collective exploring life and experiences on a northern Manitoba reserve and how through forced reservation traditional memories and knowledge are being replaced.
“Presenting web-based work alongside radio, television,and cinema really show the multi-platform storytelling strategies being used to tell our stories,” said Ronnie Harris, member, VIMAF Coordinating Committee. “Using digital tools is a popular strategies for Indigenous storytellers on the West Coast.”
NFB Film premieres include Director Alanis Obomsawin’s The People of the Kattawapiskak River, returning Residential School lens We Were Children, West Coast Smokin’Fish, Every Emotion Costs, and others. VIMAF and W2 Community Media Arts Society resident media artist, Bracken Hanuse Corlett (Wuikinuxv-Klahoose), will also be projecting, Wuulhu – To Fuse Together, a series of digital installations throughout Festival home venue, W2, for the weekend. Musical offerings fuse traditional sounds with cutting edge electronic-influenced sets provided by the East Coasts’ A Tribe Called Red who are playing at Fortune Sound Club, and locals Skookum Sound System, as well as DJ’s Annashay, Vancouver DMC Finalist DJ Krisp playing VIMAF’s Indigenous Afterdark: Around The Sun.
The 2012 Festival will be headquartered at W2, with other events taking place at SFU Woodward’s Cinema, National Film Board – Pacific Region, and Fortune Sound Club. “Anchoring the Festival in Vancouver’s original settlement is fitting,” says Harris, “we are using the Woodward’s media hub which is made up of W2, SFU and the NFB, to bring a focal point for understanding what is Indigenous culture today in the centre of the city.”
VIMAF is a media arts organization founded in 2011 to re-affirm the presence of Indigenous digital production in Coast Salish Territory. VIMAF holds space for Indigenous media artists to show their works in an environment that fosters cultural discourse, critical awareness and interactivity through the independent production, stimulation, examination and illumination of Indigenous socio-political histories and current realities.
