FSO GERMANY 2027
FILM LAB
AND HACKATHON
01
In May 2027, FSO Germany brings teams from several countries to the Kühlhaus Görlitz. At its centre is the hackathon Calculating Space: teams compute science-fiction worlds from real measurement data of the Milky Way and shoot films inside them, each with a scientist at its side.
We are looking for filmmakers, cinematographers, sound and VFX artists, coders and game developers, and for students who want to work between art and science.
The call for teams is in preparation. To register your interest now, write to info@rashomotion.com with the subject FSO GERMANY.

!GAL is an art-science residency at the Kühlhaus Görlitz, running from May to September 2027, with researchers from the DZA together with DESY and from CASUS.
The call for residents is in preparation. Artists and collectives who want to work with science in Lusatia can already apply: write to info@rashomotion.com with a short introduction and an idea, using the subject !GAL.
A SOUNDWALK THROUGH 2027
FERNWIRKUNG
OPEN CALLS · RASHOMON · 2027
03
Fernwirkung turns the grounds of the Kühlhaus Görlitz into an audible data centre: cooling, core, memory and network, spread across the site. Every step changes the mix, so no two walks sound alike.
Above the site is the sky: gravitational waves and data from the Milky Way, turned into sound. Below it, geophones make the ground audible in real time, joined by recordings from the search for a site for the Low Seismic Lab. This part is planned together with the Deutsches Zentrum für Astrophysik (DZA).
The soundwalk is planned to stay open through the 2027 season and to accompany the whole programme, from the hackathon in May to the !GAL residency over the summer.
What does space sound like?
A call for new compositions around this question is planned. We are looking for pieces built from galaxy data, seismic recordings and field recordings you made yourself, also from places far from the Kühlhaus. Human and machine meet on equal terms here, so the pieces should be made by hand, without generative AI or with AI only in clearly named parts. Each piece needs to loop without an audible cut.
Composers and sound artists who want to take part can write to info@rashomotion.com with the subject FERNWIRKUNG.

Beyond the calls, we look for people who want to help out: in production, technology, documentation and hosting, during the lab in May and the residency over the summer.
The lab works like a bazaar:
everyone brings something
and takes something home.
