Title: Solar Energy and Art
 
Abstract No.:
[1689]
 
Dear Mr. Lagaaij,
 
1.817 abstracts were submitted for the 2
5th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (25th EU PVSEC) / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC-5). A Scientific Committee made up of 153 leading experts of the global PV community reviewed and scored the abstracts and discussed the scoring results.
 
Due to the quality ranking of the submitted abstracts your proposed contribution unfortunately
slightly failed the acceptance threshold. On behalf of the Conference Chairman and the Scientific Committee I regret to inform you that your abstract therefore could not been selected for presentation during the 25th EU PVSEC / WCPEC-5. I would be very grateful if you could advise your co-authors of this Committee decision.
 
I would like to thank you for submitting an abstract to the Conference. We all at the Executive Committee would much appreciate if you are not discouraged and might submit an abstract for the next edition of the Conference.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Dr. Heinz Ossenbrink
Technical Programme Chair
European Commission DG JRC
Ispra, Italy

waving to the sun

09-09-09 was the date selected by Nanosolar to show their new factory, it is quite amazing on film: catch the rays.
All the photos had gone off to reflect on themselves. The images are therefore new. The captions for the moment have disappeared.
The Biodanza school of Amsterdam have started a new cycle. Look at the Nataraj where you enter.
Talking of entering, here is another drawing of mine that serves as an entrance to a spacious site.
With renewed vigour we are awaiting the first Dutch translation of the book Biodanza. What a labour of love!
Meanwhile let me remind us of the real twist, which is the twist of fate - wistful dance indeed

my daily routine: our times --> white house --> energy
inspiring to see the new vigorous approach to the sun, keeping warm and moving around
my enthusiasm for nanosolar seems to have been too premature
one global dance, many ballcourts

Mirror looking in us

We seem to be able to follow, copy and feel what other people around us do, move and feel.
Mirraculous mirror neurons. Have a look behind the rorrim

The world is experiencing a new dance

The new harmonic melody is re-awakening our common senses. We step forward in a long forgotten rhythm, our feet remembering that we are at home on this earth. Quiet joy is filtering into our hearts as we become prepared again to live together on this planet.

synchronic order

Today it is 20 years ago that at Palenque the Tzolkin was given to the world again. That Blue Electric Hand time's art re-appeared.
Today Blue Planetary Hand art is in time ever more. A moon rainbow rare wonder this.

Receiving

A new balance is sought between receiving and producing.
"The best things in life are free: sunlight, air, friendship, love."
The joy of living together on earth, of sharing our lives can be learned for free.

Great expectations

Municipal Solar Power Plants, the vision.

This seems the desirable vision of the future of solar energy

More sunlight is being used for heat, light and electricity.
Watch Nanosolar!

Exchanging

One thing for another. You have what I want, I have what you want. We could share. Or we can exchange: swap, barter.
We can introduce a third element in terms of which we value what you and I have. Then we don't exchange directly, but only the value of

Mon eye on money

Looking at the crisis cry of sussing in depth.
Who needs more then wikipedia?
Can we count? Can we count on that? Fundamental questions.
Quality before quantity is life's lesson.
Quality is the leading edge of the train of knowledge, a motorcycling zenman wrote.
Still I would like to know the numbers.

My pockets are empty. How can I get money. What separates my smartness from the richman's smartness?
I like to dance and love is my first inclination.

But not love of money but love of the world and its inhabitants; that is love of life.
