10.19.11PubPlatesIt´s been a long while no posting here. This has a few reasons, mainly one is that i had so much to do with the SMSlingshot project, a record cover and the whole appearance of a fashion label so that I didn´t found the time to update my website. Ahh yes, and there is a little family i love and try to find time to share with them, and my students I will help learning the rocket science of industrial design. Forgot something... yes, hanging out with the guys and doing simply nothing comes to schedule aswell. So to keep the ...

06.30.11Roadmap and Thanks^click to enlarge Thanks to everyone who came to attend my space to space lecture at the Muthesius Art College in Kiel. It was a pleasure to be there, to get a little insight to the industrial design department and the beers and schnaps over the night did their best to keep this evening in good memory. Special Thanks to Kerstin Abraham, Frank Jacob, Linda Schütte and for sheltering me: Birgit and Philipp!

04.26.10Lesen und Lasern PresentationWhat an intensive week. The students were so much into reading and fighting the Flusser text, creating an own world with moodboards and bringing it back to the world with the laser router... and me right in the middle. All the results had been very discursive and became solid personal statements on design, society, nature and "ecology". I´m very sure torepeat this framework in the near future! We will soon update the project wiki to present all the ideas in a proper way. Until this gonna happen, here are some impressions of the process and the presentation.

04.13.10Lesen & LasernTogether with Jana Patz, researcher and lecturer at the fashion department of the University of the Arts in Berlin, I will host a project on reading and understanding design theoretical texts. Today we had a first kick off meeting with the students and will start next week when I´m back from the Hannover Industry Fair. The students will have to read Villem Flusser "gesture of planting" and develop a personally radical approach on design out of it. The resulting design will be laser-cut at our in-house laser router. I´m allready well excited on the projects.

01.13.10TransmedialeNext to the all of my time munching preparings for the TEI conference I currently work on a concept for a workshop taking place on the 5th of february at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin during the Transmediale Festival. With the Workshop we will try to find new ways of reclaiming digital augmented public advertising screens and discuss possibilities of a democratic access to urban media. Because this will be way to much for me to lift all by myself, Tobias Fischer, brother from another mother, will lead and monitor the workshop with me. It will be ...
