As in component 5 of the WEBSR2-project the main idea of "WEBSR2 Upgrade" is to promote wind energy use not mainly via arguments but by addressing peoples emotions. Thus, it understands itself as pilot project, not elaborating a single "group of investments" but initiating an EU-wide campaign that will attract the peoples interest in and sympathy for wind energy by creating positive symbols to be put in relation to this energy source. For this purpose, a competition called "Wind energy art" will be initiated by the project team, based on joining the technological and artistic competences that are represented by our special partner structure.
Combining these two perspectives and ways of working will not only lead to interesting art objects, the so-called demonstrators, but also involve very different networks, thus reaching a new dimension of public awareness - for the competition, the objects and, via all this, for wind energy.
To reach this effect, the project team, consisting of wind energy experts and artists from the 3 involved sites (Kalmar, Rostock and Gdansk), will organise and implement an international art competition where invited artists and designers from different countries will be evaluated by an international jury comprising of artists, curators and wind energy experts.
In the end of the competition, there will be 3 durably installed wind energy art objects - one in every partner city, with clear reference to each other, thus, demonstrating also their international dimension.
