11.17.11MEMEFEST publicationI know my meme, and it´s the memefest. For everyone not being familiar with memefest: it´s a worldwide, "more than g8 international" community of artists, critics, media theorists and wild folks making wild stuff. I feel very home with the people, because they work so hard to push non-commercial artwork and critical positions in public space. This year, SMSlingshot got massive feedback throughout the memefest friendly competition and was exhibited in Nijmegens Oddstream festival and here in Berlin, just right around the corner in an empty fabric floor. Thanks Dejan, Alain, Rola and the rest of the crew for giving ...

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.

08.31.10Back from BrazilWOW. I´m back from brazil since three weeks but thats the first day I really get into reflecting and posting about FILE festival and the SMSlingshot project in Brazil. First: it was an amazing trip. We met so many new friends and saw even more interesting projects from all over the world that it´s hard to list everyone. FILE festival especially the awarded projects and the exhibited pieces at FIESP/SESI theatre are worth talking about. You can get the full report at the InterfaceBlog by Form+Zweck. It´s so much, that it might take while to cover all the projects. FILE festival was ...

06.17.09snapshot udk 09 - revisitedAfter two weeks the DMY extended exhibition "Me You & I" will close tommorow evening. So you still have at least one full day left to visit it. The feedback so far is very good, not only the lamps attracted attention, the shelves, the installations and one of my favourites, the trikoton collection of hannah wiesener and magdalena kohler had been payed regard to. The opening with the attached panel discussion about "the shape of designer work to come" was quite interesting too, though it was a bit to long. Again it was all about to meet friends and colleagues, ...
