The Education Centre/Packed Lunch Area is intended to accommodate large groups of school children who would be encouraged to learn about topics related to the themes of the Science Centre. It also serves an as area where they can eat and drink.The structures built for Magna are twin-walled, that is, the walls are made up of two layers of fabric with an air gap in between. It is the air between the two layers that is pressurised to provide rigidity for the structure. This means that conventional doors can be used to enter and exit the buildings as the air inside the building no longer requires pressurisation. In addition, the volume of air inside the walls is very small compared with the size of the building and so very little power is required to keep that air pressurised.\\

Mind Expander: Haus-Rucker-Co, Vienna 1967\\
The seat shell fixes two persons in a certain position. The lower seat allows one person to sit with their legs slightly open. The thigh of their right leg rests against a step forming the transition to a second seat area that is higher by the thickness of a thigh.
A helmet-like balloon that is connected with the seat can be tilted over the heads of the two people seated. Their heads thus are enclosed a narrow cylindrical space that is covered by a glass-clear plastic dome above which a transparent balloon hovers. A series of lines and stamped-out shapes made of reflective foil are placed on both the dome and the surface of the balloon in such a way that, depending on whether you concentrate on the level closer or further away from you, the elements constantly overlay each other to form new patterns.
The machines in Mind expanding program blended futuristic forms, colors, and sounds in an attempt to induce a trance-like state.\\

I (Tjebbe van Tijen) just (2/2/2009) discovered this page and let me add some information to get a better understanding:
The event took place at the Experimental Film Festival of Knokke Le Zoute (Belgium) so was in all its literal flexibility and spatial dynamics a comment on the fixity of regular cinema experiments that tend to remain within the frame of the standard projection equipment. So it confronted the audience mostly made up of cinema people with their imprisonment within the cinema screen. There was life electronic music done by the group Musica Elettronica Viva at that time based in Rome with among others Fredric Rezewsky and Richard Teitelbaum. The visual content is also important to mention in more detail, as a selection of advertisement and governmental propaganda movies were projected, from an anti-communist comic by the American John Birch Society to USA government movies showing the air war over Vietnam. This last visual statement was misunderstood by some members of the audience as far as I remember belonging to Marxist-Leninist student opposition from West-Berlin. There were shouts against American imperialism from the audience ... Last year this event was commemorated at the Rotterdam Film Festival and I made a 'visual narrative scroll' for that occasion. It can be found at this address:

Move the small red bar in the middle at the top of the window gently and a tiny bit to start sliding through the whole scroll.

-Vacuum Packing: Makoto Ishiwata, 2006\\
Vacuum packs its inhabitant from all sides in rubber and a rhythmic soundscape. Ishiwata intentions were to create a space for self-reflection and meditation. The heartbeat also encouraging the sense of internal space
“I can feel like an individual in the midst of humanity, through the image of something internal such as a cell, an atom, or a fetus. Keeping in mind the insignificance of humanity, as I shrink ever smaller, it may be possible to confirm my existence in the universe on an electronic level. Or this work may simply serve as a space to meditate. The heartbeat is the very first rhythm humans feel. I believe all music has the heartbeat as its source. The moment that human beings connect to the heartbeat that flows within us, the music that we hear starts to sound right.”\\
