Molecules that changed the world
The Molecules that changed the World App is meant to convey the scientific facts and interesting stories of molecules that changed our culture, course of civilisation and in short, the world. Among the represented molecules are such basic compounds like water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, which not only influenced the way we think about resources, climate and food production but also affected the development of early life on Earth, and synthetic complex compounds such as nitroglycerin, polyethylene and aspirin. App is aiming at telling you more about the chemical background of such molecules and their influence onto the historical and cultural developments and the life as we know it.
This app is a translation of the interactive 3D installation Molecules that Changed the World by Ljiljana Fruk and Bernd Lintermann, which was designed at ZKM/Institute for Visual Media to accompany the "Molecular Aesthetics" Symposium held at ZKM | Centre for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany in 2011.

Molecules that changed the world
Die App Molecules that changed the World vermittelt spielerisch Wissenswertes und Erstaunliches über Moleküle, die unsere Kultur veränderten. Darunter befinden sich sowohl elementare Moleküle, wie Wasser und Kohlendioxid, welche die Grundlagen des Lebens auf der Erde bilden, als auch synthetische komplexe Molekülstrukturen wie Nitroglycerin und ASPIRIN. Die App vermittelt Hintergründe über Entstehung und Bedeutung dieser Moleküle, die alle einen essentiellen Einfluss auf unser Leben haben.
Die App ist eine Übertragung der interaktiven Installation Molecules that changed the World von Ljiljana Fruk und Bernd Lintermann, welche vom ZKM | Institut für Bildmedien begleitend zum Symposium "Molekulare Ästhetik" im Jahr 2011 am ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medien in Karlsruhe produziert wurde.

Molecules that changed the world
Aplikacija Molekule koje su promijenile svijet je zamišljena kao prikaz znanstvenih činjenica i zanimljivih priča o molekulama koje su mijenjale našu kulturu, tijek civilizacije i ukratko, svijet. Među prikazanim molekulama su osnovni spojevi poput vode, ugljikovog dioksida, amonijaka, koje su mijenjale način na koji razmišljamo o klimi, proizvodnji hrane i okolišu, ali imale i snažan utjecaj na razvoj života na Zemlji, te složeniji sintetički spojevi poput nitroglicerina, polietilena i aspirina. Cilj aplikacije je opisati kemijsku i sintetičku pozadinu molekula kao i njihov utjecaj na povijest, kulturu i život kakav poznajemo.
Aplikacija je nastala prema 3D instalaciji Ljiljane Fruk i Bernda LIntermanna "Molekule koje su promijenile svijet" osmišljenoj kao popratni dio Simpozija o molekularnoj estetici održanog 2011. u Centru za umjetnost i medije (ZKM | Center for Art and Media) u Karlsuheu (Njemačka).
