Postcards coming soon!

We have many summer activities going on - all starting with KulturSYDhavn! 

You can see some of them here and be sure to check out illutron.dk or illutron on Facebook for more information. 

KulturSYDhavn (August 3 – 5)

KulturSYDhavn is our annual festival, in collaboration with Kulturhavn and other partners including the Børnekulturstedet Karens Minde, Kbh Projekthus, AFUK, Kongens Enghave Lokalhistorisk, and others. Experience many installations, join in a treasure hunt for the entire family, and explore the ship illutron!

We have many activities throughout the summer including:

• Sinking Ship Kraka: An old wooden boat. Sunken on the bottom of the harbour. Open the valves, let in the air, and bring it back to the surface – For a little while. Until it slowly sinks again.
• Underwater ROV: A little robot (Remote Operated Vehicle) with incredible underwater vision is released into the harbour, to explore the depths below.
• Create your city – new harbour life: In collaboration with Københavns Kommune, we experiment with making the water of the Copenhagen Harbour more accessible and usable to the public.
• Ønskekanal – The wish canal: a community event held in Sluseholmen. An all day BBQand family gathering will lead up to a beautiful evening – where you assemble small electronics which will glow, casting your wish for the harbour into the canals of Sluseholmen.
• Giant CNC: illutron is building a huge machine which can cut and mill wood and metal.

Visit it onboard illutron!

• Electrolumen: The lamp post on our upper deck is for you to play with – explore electricity and interactivity in this intriguing installation.
• Hydrophonic Soundscapes: A beautiful project exploring sounds and lights in the harbour.
• Kunstkopf: A giant underwater head which can hear underwater and share the sounds with you.
• Self-Guided Tours: illutron offers you the chance to take a self-guided tour of our ship. You can read about each project and the history of the ship with the signs we’ve provided. Enjoy our free wifi and help yourself to a coffee in our cafe!

Børnekulturstedet Karens Minde at KulturSYDhavn 2012

Her kommer lidt om kranballetten fra Børnekulturstedet Karens Minde:

Kranballetten er en forestilling med en danser og en bobcat. Det en poetisk og absurd skildring af mødet mellem menneske og maskine. Forestillingen er en familieforestilling, som kan ses af alle fra 0-99 år. Den er ca. 15 minutter og vil efter hver forestilling blive efterfulgt af en workshop, hvor børn kan få lov at prøve nogle af de bevægelser, der er brugt og selv danse med maskinen. Vi håber, at kunne vække interesse for at se og danse moderne dans hos publikum - og især børnene.  Forestillingen spiller fredag d. 3. august kl. 16.00 og kl. 17.30 samt lørdag d. 4. august kl. 13.00 og kl. 14.30 på pladsen på Teglholms Østkaj ud for Illutron.

Og lidt om fortællevæggen:

Fortællevæggen er en væg, hvor besøgende på Kulturhavn selv kan bidrage til fortællingen om Sydhavnen ved at plotte deres yndlingssted ind på et fysisk opstillet kort over Sydhavnen og fortælle i ord/billeder/collage om stedet. Man kan således skrive, klippe eller finde billeder af sit yndlingssted i en workshop på havnen, hvor vi har et par mand introducere workshoppen. Alle er velkomne til at bidrage med en historie, men man kan også bare læse de andres og blive inspireret til at gå på opdagelse i Sydhavnen. Fortællevæggen er på Kulturhavn lørdag d. 4. august og søndag d. 5. august i/ved containeren på pladsen foran Illutron på Teglholmens Østkaj. 

KulturSYDhavn 2012 is coming soon!

KulturSYDhavn 2012 is gearing up to go!

After a great meeting with the different partners of Kulturhavn this year, we are happy to announce that KulturSYDhavn (Kulturhavn IN Sydhavnen!) will be a busy place this year with participants from AFUK, KPH Projects, the Sydhvan historic society, Karens Minde Kulturhus and many more. All the activity will be situated on the quay outside the illutron barge.

illutron is excited to present activities and workshops for the whole family including:

Fire Workshop: Learn about, and play with fire! For small children to adults, we have done this workshop many times and are happy to provide it again. Participants learn fire safety, how to make fire, and how to create fire from electricity. A little bit science, a little bit safety, and a whole lot of fun!

Treasure Hunt on the illutron barge: The barge holds many secrets and you're invited to find them all in our treasure hunt. Running all day every day, visitors can explore the hidden compartments and discover the secret tales of the barge's history.

Underwater ROV: An amazing project, a little underwater robot which has a camera in it so visitors can drive it around under the water, and discover the world below.

Can it float or will it sink?: An intriguing workshop exploring the principles Archimedes discovered in his bathtub!

We're very excited to start work on this year's Kulturhavn and we would love for you to be a part of it. Please email us and tell us what you think would be fun or how you would like to participate! vanessa@illutron.dk
