Lecture with Films held by Jürgen Claus: Solstice: How Culture will Determine the Solar Era

The advent of the photovoltaic cell has provided architecture as well as art with the necessary trust for integrating material and formative processes into natural cycles. In this sense, the solar era stands for light-determined and artistically-utilizable technologies.
