Sinfonie der Ungewissheit (DE Version)

In the organizer's words:

Symphony of Uncertainty - Director: Claudia Lehmann

The German Electron Synchrotron in Hamburg, DESY for short, is home to some of the largest particle accelerators in the world and, as an international research facility, is a world in itself. This is where elementary particles meet; this is also where filmmaker Claudia Lehmann has her former doctoral supervisor, physics professor Gerhard Mack, meet other scientists (including his own doctoral supervisor) as well as a shaman, his partner and filmmaker Hark Bohm. They all confront him with questions about our existence - world views collide. With the theory of complex systems, Gerhard has always tried to understand life in an interdisciplinary way, and so he is now also trying to find a language that goes beyond the boundaries of mathematics and physics. The music that composer Konrad Hempel and his ensemble create on the site is also about language. He uses the sounds of accelerators as well as coffee cups to create the soundtrack of this world in which everyone wants to find a meaning for life.
