What we are trying to do is sort of a classic translation. Translation in the sense of transfers of one medium into another. Here we see our task more than that of a display of a measuring instrument, which has the function to visually represent a measurement that corresponds to the previously recorded state.

Of course, behind each gauge is also an author who constructed the instrument in his time and perhaps also set the parameters of the units.

However, our units to be communicated are not temperatures or physical quantities, but rather cultural events. Whether a monographic work by the artist Eliasson, a poster for Gerhard Richter or the complex exhibition architecture of "Frequencies (HZ)", their own whatness productions or the different approaches for the Frankfurt / Wiliam Forsythe Ballet, each time an attempt was made to explore the essence of these works to represent in their origin.

Actually, we are not really concerned with our own, formally manifested language, which, however, certainly occurs with any author who has the freedom to define units of Pyhsik himself.
