1. The background:
This international project and experimental set-up for creative ideas is named after the „Apollo 13″ mission in 1970.
Reminder:
After an explosion in the spacecraft a life-threatening situation occured which could recovered only by building a replacing device for a defective air filter adapter using merely materials available aboard the capsule. During the process of idea-generating the creativity of the NASA employees had to be working at maximum rate for there was only a short horizon of time and a limited stock of items to use at hands.

2. The task:
Remembering this historical highlight of idea-generating the task of the participants in our „Apollo 13″ project will be to create something "new", maybe a piece of art, using ONLY the „things" mentionned below. With regard to the representation of form, genre, virtuality, materiality, etc. there are no specific guidelines. Everything is possible!

3. Material and procedural matters:
THESE „things" listed below are the only materials "on board":

light - longing - wood - life - black holes - infinity - water - grass - stones - letters - scrap of no value - Hotel California - clouds - newspapers - God - the number zero - wind - facebook - leaves - bottles.

(The participants will be provided only with this list of „things", not with the „real things" themselves.)

Important: As with the historic Apollo 13 mission, the use of this pool is mandatory. There are no other "things" on board. Using the complete and entire list is possible but not required. But NO EXTRA „things" are allowed to come into play.


Joint partners in this „Apollo 13″ venture about new ways to generate ideas are:
The Foundation Kuenstlerdorf Schoeppingen, the Kultursekretariat NRW Guetersloh with its member cities in NRW and the Initiative Schoeppingen eV.
