research as an outcome

febuary-july 2022

the infintiy of imagination in reality




Nuclear Fusion is stated as the vaccine to solve the global energy problems and provide the society a whole millennial with limitless power.

Bringing the sun and the stars down to earth is being tried to achieve.

ITER, located in Saint-Paul-lès-Durance, south of France, is currently one of the biggest collaborative research projects. There 35 nations come together to work on the world’s largest TOKAMAK, a magnetic fusion device that has been designed to prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy.

Started to be built in 2007 it is still, in its construction phase. Different components of the machine are manufactured all over the world and shipped from destinations on three continents. All modes of transportation are including ocean, air, road, rail, and river/canal freight. Highly Exceptional Loads by boat arrive at the Mediterranean harbour of Fos-sur-Mer and continue their travel by heavy load convoys through the ITER itinerary to their final destination next to CEA Cadarache, the largest technical research and development center for energy in Europe.


Big-sized components, large scale by amount, controlled by multiple continents form a multidisciplinary exchange of information using the most diverse methods to communicate and solve a problem caused by the past and contemporary society for the future millennial by trying to figure out to produce limitless energy since 1940.

research step: digital collages



_ using filter and effects of photoshop with an unpredicatble outcomes
_ original images were pictures I cam across during my research on the internet



















































research step: scientific paper word analysis from a non-expert’s perspective



_ which words are used and how does it influence my opinion




_ pink: words that let me doubt
_ yellow: economy related information
_ clearly positive information





research step: deconstructing the machine to get a better understanding







research step: information representation



_ printing digitally made collages in the darkroom in black and white from selfmade negatives















research step: tangible material exploration



_ metal as a material plays an essential role in the TOKAMAK construction and has at the same time the characteristic of reflecting light










research step: final writing of my experience piece



_ trying to express my opininion on the whole research and working process in







how do contemporary scientists communicate current scientific research to the society? 

 


which information is actually necessary to tell and why?
