On June 3rd, 2015 the CeMM Kapsel/Time Capsule a Science and Art project by Martin Walde and Giulio Superti-Furga was officially opened by Andreas Mailath-Pokorny, Vienna City Councillor for Cultural Affairs and Science. The concept of the Time Capsule is based on Martin Walde´s interaction with CeMM´s research and philosophy and with the wish to create a “docking place” for artists of all branches within a biomedical research institute. The idea was to create a place where one, two or three people at a time can seclude to think or work in peace. The artist conceived the room as a safe haven and repository for ideas and thoughts that are collected in writing in one of the 13,000 empty notebooks, with coloured sleeves, shelved in an oval bookshelf embracing the entire small room. In that sense the CeMM Time capsule serves as a “serendipity” communication platform in several ways: through intentionally or accidentally meetings of artists and scientists and through the preservation of messages left in one of the notebooks. We thank all sponsors who contributed to the CeMM Time Capsule. CeMM would particularly like to thank Martin Walde for his dedicated work and this valuable and wonderful piece of art.
