Woran es liegt, dass der Einzelne sich nicht wohl fühlt,
obwohl es uns allen doch so gut geht

Wir schaffen einen 1-Euro-Job für einen Hartz-IV-Empfänger. Seine Aufgabe: In die SPD einzutreten und dort politisch aktiv zu werden.

We create a minimum wage job for an unemployed. His task: to join the SPD (social democrats, germany's left-wing party) and get involved in political work.

Chasing God

Exhibition Mama's Arts at geborgenkamers.nl, The Hague, 15 November to 14 December 2008.

In how far is science objective? Or do we construct our reality? The elementary particles in physics cannot be observed directly, but their traces look “real” to us. We do not see the particles but something completely different.
The Show "Mama's Arts" is about traditional textile craftsmanship, like embroidery, knitting and related manual work. These techniques are confronted with their sometimes counter-intuitive use in contemporary arts.

SUPERCORN

SUPERCORN at Magistrale 2008, Berlin, September 13, 2008.

What‘s virtual, stationary, politically correct and rendered in the public sphere?

We analyze a set of brief, purely textual exhibition announcements in fine arts ("teasers"). First, we outline the structure of our target group. Using data mining/data warehouse techniques we identify clusters of correlated terms which map to topics of particular interest in our considered social group. Some of the most interesting clusters are explored in more detail, while the entire diagram serves as a foundation for a topology of emerging schools of thought. We propose some diagrams that might be used in future investigations.

Results are published as a slide presentation on CD (artist's edition).

Colorbook

Selection and omission of topics in modern media¹ follow enigmatic rules. "Economical censorship" ² is only one subtle means of political control. TV manifests itself in pixels, serialized in data streams, transmitted to the receiver. It's just a simple operation to redirect the stream into an artistic space, which has no concept of what's 'important'. The Colorbook is published as an artist's edition.
