내일 2월 27일 제가 페차쿠차 서울에서 발표하게 되었습니다.

I’ll be presenting my work at pecha kucha seoul tomorrow.

It’s been two years since open source satellite project begun. As the first realization step, abstract for CubeSat Developers’ Workshop 2009 was submitted yesterday.

I’m almost certain that I can launch my own satellite after two years of research, but I need a lot to think about to make the project as an art work.

Actually hardest part is to get funded.

While estimated budget does surpass the price of Porsche, I don’t even have money to buy used one. And considering characteristics of the work, getting funded by any is not a good idea..

So I chose grants from Art Foundation. I applied  GyungGi Cultural Foundation for grant and I’m waiting for the result. I could get a grant from Ministry of Culture in 2006 with “The Strongest Weapon In The World”, which was very technical, and I thought an act of calling something as “Art” had great power.

And today..

I bought a lotto. 

Hope I can have money to buy Porsche by tonight. 

오픈 소스 인공위성 프로젝트를 진행해온지 벌써 약 2년여가 되어간다. 어제는 그 실행의 첫 걸음으로 CubeSat 개발자 워크샵에 그 동안의 조사 결과를 발표하기 위해 초록을 제출 하였다.

위성을 띄울 수 있는 가능성에 대해선 거의 확신하고 있지만 아직 예술 작업으로서 생각을 정리할께 많이 남아있다.

하지면 여전히 현실적으로 어려운 것은 펀딩 문제이다.  

전체 예산이 포르셰 가격보다는 낮게 나오고 있기 때문에 어떤 이들에겐 별 문제가 안될 지 모르겠지만 나에겐 포르셰 중고도 살 여력이 없다. 그렇다고 아무 돈이나 지원받는거 작업의 성격상 안될일인데..

그래서 선택한것이 예술 문화 기금이다. 현재 경기 문화 재단에 지원을 신청해 놨는데 아직 결과는 나오지 않았다. 이전에도 상당히 기술을 요하는 작업으로 문광부에서 지원을 받은 적이 있었는데 역시 아트라고 명명하는 행위는 대단한 힘들 가지고 있다고 생각된다.

그리고 오늘..

로또를 샀다. 

로또가 당첨되어 포르셰를 살 돈이 생기길 바란다.

Update

Not a single match!!!

Update 2

No grant from GyunGi Cultural Foundation!!

An Artist with Open Source Satellite

For Artists, using sensors and microcontrollers have never been easier with open source hardware and software platforms. Cubesat program unprecedentedly lower entry barriers for running space programs. Artists have presented space art works even before Sputnik entered into space and are actually facilitating various space programs nowadays. So exploring the possibility of an open source satellite platform will not only give numerous freedom of expressions to artist but will also give meaningful insights to space engineers.

In the session, building plans based on existing open source platforms and some test results are presented including schematics, BOMs, CAD drawings, and etc. Entire flow of operating a satellite program by an artist is discussed with difficulties and corresponding solutions. And advantages of artist leading space programs based on open source platforms are reviewed, followed by concerns of sharing satellite technologies and how to mitigate them.
