Reflections of the world images of a Berlin Street column of the triumph of Western Berlin. Today continues to set even the wide avenue that once gave character to Berlin: the Ost-West-Achse, the East-West axis, between Tiergarten and Unter den Linden. Today it is cut at the Brandenburg Gate.
The Prussian Kings was built in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Brandenburg Gate home the Classicist period in Berlin. The Ost-West-Achse became a mirror and calling card of a flourishing metropolis, which, at its peak during the years 30 and 40 of our century, was the political, economic and cultural center of Germany.
After the second world war, Berlin was covered in rubble and ashes. The contrast between East and West Berlin became two cities. On both sides, the Berliners began early on. In the ruins of the Zoo, under the column of the triumph, they planted potatoes. The Zoo today. On a land torn apart by bombs, has emerged a new Park. Only few of the houses in vicinity of the gentry resisted the rain of bombs from the war. Representative Avenue of formerly has changed his appearance. Today it is headquarters of public buildings: theatres, opera, Centre of congresses, University, banks, shops and restaurants.
The East-West axis dies on the wall in East Berlin, before the Brandenburg Gate. 20 years locked up behind the wall the other German State, the cumunista. As we see, the Avenue continues eastward. There is still called even "Unter den Linden" ("under the Linden trees").

A digital process calculator is the heart of the installation. The instructor program data, an electronic imaging system results in the exact image of the ship and its outline reflected on a screen: navigation in room. Navigation Simulator enables applicants to vessel officers to simulate dry all imaginable manoeuvres.
In addition all manoeuvres are indicated by the instruments and controlled by the instructor. Each vessel has certain properties of movement, which are programmed into the computer. Thus students rule each time a concrete ship type. Having to react to external factors that Act on the ship: wind, current, depth etc., also programmed into the computer. During the exercise failure of instruments, can be simulated, for example, reversals of ships approaching or changes of the direction of the wind.
The navigation Simulator is now also used in a field trial of new maritime signals. As both have to harmonize, the navigation and signalling its roads, to reduce the number of accidents at sea.
"Disco" everywhere give a ride through the world of the "disk" - fashion born in North America of resonance in almost all sectors of consumption. The "disk" - thus documents it this exhibition - is a style that requires an exaggerated involvement contributed, for example, neon light games. A style with own wardrobe - but above all with a special sound: the "disk-sound", a rhythm to sweat drop fat.
Exponent of this musical "explosion" are for high sums contracts signed with international stars such as Amanda Lear or John Travolta. Music and all its stage are not the most refined, nor to the taste of all youth. Everywhere, radio stations are put at the service of the lovers of the "disk" - even though they prefer live: in nightclubs where you can dance - sometimes enjoying the physical presence and music from their favorite artists.
