July 15th–Sept 4th, 2011The projection Molecules that changed the world is part of the symposium "Molecular Aesthetics" which was concipated as part of the project "Käpsele Connection. Creativity and Innovation in Baden-Würtemberg" in cooperation with DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). From molecular chemistry to molecular biology we stand on the treshold of a material revolution. In the 1920s, new industrial materials, such as metals, aluminium and acrylic glass were used as raw materials. Today, the developments in nanotechnology and computer-based technology enable insight into matter far beyond existing conceptions, namely into the world of molecules, atoms and subatomic particles. The "molecular revolution" (Félix Guattari, 1977) has already begun.
