Permanent Breakfast 23.8. 10:00 Pirmasenser Str 18

Wie auch hier verkündet:

Längere, dem Flashmob verwandt: Permanent Breakfast.

Wie vor zwei Jahren gibt es auch dieses Jahr wieder ein Permanentes Breakfast: das immerwährende Frühstück. Immerwährend sind inzwischen zwölfJahre, im Mai 1996 initiierte der Wiener Künstler Friedemann Derschmidt und seine Gruppe das "Permanent Breakfast".

Die Regeln sind einfach: einer lädt zum Frühstück ein, alle eingeladenen Freunde bekommen ein ordentliches Frühstück im öffentlichen Raum. Am folgenden Tag frühstücken die eingeladenen und laden wiederum Freunde ein, die Kette setzt sich fort.

Frühstück ist am
  • 23.8.2008,
  • von 10:15 bis 12:00 (pünktlich)
  • bei der Pirmasenser Strasse 18 (Fußgängerzone).
Zum gleichen Zeitpunkt steht an eben der adresse ein Oldtimer, und etwas Kunst vom angrenzenden Unicat laden, d.h. es wird bunt und nett.

Permanent Breakfast

Bitte bringt mit:
  • Tisch und Stühle (zur Not auch Decken, GymFitbälle oder ähnliches)
  • Wir können Tische organisieren, meldet euch bei Leo vorher
  • und Verpflegung.
Das entstehende Frühstück soll formal als solches erkennbar sein, dementsprechend sind tageszeitungslesende Kaffegenießer in Lehnstühlen zurücklehnend am Butterzopf knabbernd ausdrücklich erwünscht.
Bei Regenwetter? Als Kontaktmann für die Frage was bei Regen passiert dient Leo. Ruft mich einfach an: +49 176 24548974. leo(at)gnowsis.com

Glowing Tape Sculpture for Nowhere2008

What participatory Art project do you bring into the desert to Nowhere2008 festival? It has to glow, it has to look amazing, it has to be less than 5kg and 5 liter space to fit in the luggage in the airplane?

You have to bring an idea. The idea is combining Led lights with TapeSculpture.org, a form of street art developed and perfected by Mark Jenkins.

The core of the idea is that the ingredients are cheap and can be bought virtually everywhere:
  • clear packing tape
  • plastic wrap
  • scissors or a knife
  • and an object you'd like to cast
Read the tutorial or watch the video by Mark Jenkins:


An technique that can be easily tought and copied. Excellent. Mash it up with LED Throwies (I use AA batteries) and we have lighted art.

Here is my first real piece, the Rabe:
crow

Its a great piece of DJ art to give light to your labels:
TapeRabe

And a second one, appearing magically today in Kaiserslautern:

SEO

Internet marketing would be the training of 1 firm or maybe particular person making it possible for some other persons or maybe companies in promoting the products or services in trade to get a commission or maybe cost. This really is done by means of niche advertising and marketing internet sites where by Search engine optimization approaches are widely-used they are driving site visitors to the internet offer you. This gives companies to make vast remote control sales forces, and it makes it possible for sales people to trade a large number of distinct goods without being needed to share, cope with or maybe ship inventory.

Hyperaudio and transformingfreedom

On thursday I stumbled into the relaunch party of
transformingfreedom.org. The site aims to provide essential information about our age, using the tools of our age.

Michael glowing

Andreas Leo Findeisen is one of the founders of the platform and we had a great time chatting, showing off technostuff, and drinking beer. Accidentially, most of monochrom.at were also there and somebody put on a screening of Kubrick's 2001.

A typical content of transforming freedom is this Stallman speech:

Do Animals get Goosebumps because of terrorists?

The masses lost their instincts, and may have more fear from terrorists than cancer.

How much are we animals? Susanna Hertrich has a project on this topic:

This project picks on how much today's people have detached themselves from their original animal inheritance.
...
It is said that no other generation before has been as anxious and risk aware as ours. Other than animals, we aren't equipped for the challenges of contemporary living. We don't have the abilities to identify the real dangers in a surplus of potential threats and horror scenarios offered to us by mass media.


(photo shamelessly linked from Jonathan)

Jonathan Hartley (whom I met two weeks ago in Krakow) blogged about it from a different perspective:
Susanna Hertrich has an art / thesis project to artificially stimulate people’s threat perceptions (by giving them goosebumps, or making hairs stand on end) in response to actual threats, as opposed to perceived ones. It’s a topic that I’m unnaturally preoccupied with, since the most egregious examples of the disparity between the two seem to intrude on my life every day. My opinions about whether any given threat is real or illusiory seem to differ from almost everyone, but I’m going to stubbornly cling to the idea that everyone else is crazy. Take the entry on ‘terrorist attack’ as an example (see diagram.) Public reactions to the topic remind me of nothing so much as a stirred-up ants nest, a psychotic, ineffectual frenzy.

"Your Studio and You" - the movie

I found one of my favorite movies on google video: "Your Studio and You".



You can read the wikipedia article to learn more, the film has three aspects which make it excellent:
  • It is funny and well done
  • The movie featured a bevy of celebrity appearances which includes Andrew Bergman, James Cameron (shown improving the Universal Studios landscaping), Shaun Cassidy, Robin Cook, Shelley Fabares, Michael J. Fox (sometimes mistaken in the film for Dian Bachar, a longtime Parker-Stone collaborator), Brian Grazer, Heavy D, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Barry Kemp, Angela Lansbury (shown painting the Psycho House), Mike Lobel, Traci Lords, Kevin Misher, Demi Moore, Darrin Pfeiffer, John Singleton, Steven Spielberg (shown as a Universal Studios Guide), Sylvester Stallone (in his Rocky Balboa character, and subtitled for comedic effect), Marty Stuart, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker. (from Trivia about Seagrams)
  • It is historically interesting.
Let me focus on the last point. Read on Zap2it.com an interview with Trey Parker, who together with Matt Stone directed the movie.
On April 6 1995 Seagrams, back then one of the largest beverage company in the world, decided to sell its share in DuPont oil for $9 Billion to instead later buy Universal Studios, MCA, PolyGram, and Deutsche Grammophon.

Universal Studios PR employees contacted David and Jerry Zucker "to make a short film for Universal to be played at a big coming out party Seagrams was throwing for all of its employees." link
The Zucker brothers ("Airplane", "Naked Gun", "Top Secret") had no time and asked Trey Parker and Matt Stone (who were complete unknown punks) to do the movie, Zucker Bros. said to already have a "very funny script".

But when Trey and Matt appeared on site for the takes with Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and Michael J Fox, they were surprised that the "very funny script" did not exist. Also, the PR people were aroused not to see the Zucker Bros on site, but punks.

"We suddenly just stopped everything and said, 'let's just do it all like a really stupid '50s industrial movie. Because then at least that part of it will be funny. And so we just started trying to shoot it like those little 'duck and cover' nuclear things from the '50s."

The movie features "Seagrams Wine Coolers", and good advice how to improve Universial City Studios (UCS) - all employees agree "It's UCS for me". So, Seagram beverages decision to get more fun in entertainment business led to this movie a year later.

Really weird: Trey Parker did not see the movie for four years after the take, because it was so internal that they did not give a copy to the directors (!?) but it showed up on the web (!!hurray!!) in 2001, and then... haha.

The result is above, and the guys made many great things after and before it, such as Southpark. True Art.

Silly Walks Flashmob

FlashMob Ministry of Silly Walks
Kommt am Mittwoch, den 13.02.2008,
pünktlich um 17:45 Uhr
an die Bushaltestelle Rathaus.


Achtet auf eine gepflegte Erscheinung (z.B. Anzug, Aktentasche, Melone, ...) Wir performen den Silly-Walk bis 17:55 und verschwinden dann wieder.

Als Anregung:
Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w

Bitte verbreitet diesen Aufruf über e-mail, SMS, Telefon, ...

Was ist zu beachten? (aus www.flash-mobbers.net)
1. Wenn Du schon hingehst, dann mach auch mit! Aber nicht stehen bleiben und
glotzen!
2. Erscheine erst zum abgemachten Zeitpunkt (pünktlich)!
3. Folge genau den vorgegebenen Anweisungen!
4. Je mehr es wissen, desto grösser wird die Community. Also: weitersagen!
5. Keine Körper- oder Sachbeschädigungen, Beschimpfungen, etc.! Flash-Mobbers
sind friedlich und wollen Spass haben. Und es gibt einen guten Ruf zu
verlieren.
6. Die "Action-Area" zügig wieder verlassen und seiner Wege gehen.
7. Wenn jemand fragt, was das sei oder wer das organisiert hätte, antworten,
dass man spontan da sei.

Bis dann!
Die FlashMobbers.

mobile clubbing kaiserslautern

aftermath of the last mobile clubbing in Kaiserslautern / elf freunde kreisel: the video!

update: the missing links:
  1. raus-aus-kl blogpost
  2. flashmob announcement on twoday




Und der spirituell perfekte artikel aus der online-lokalzeitung kaiserslautern:
Zu denken gegeben hat den eingesetzten Polizeibeamten ein Vorfall am Dienstagabend am Löwenburg-Kreisel. Gegen halb 8 wurde die Streife verständigt, weil sich zu den elf „starren“ Freunden mitten im Kreisel weitere 29 gesellt hatten und für Aufsehen sorgten. Der Grund: Die Gruppe tanzte und hüpfte auf der Fläche herum und schien „lautlos in Richtung Himmel“ zu beten.
Nachdem die Streife den „Haufen“ eine Weile beobachtet hatte und sich keinerlei rechtliche Beanstandungen ergaben, zogen die Beamten wieder ab. Im Rapport wurde vermerkt: „Ob die Gruppe mit ihrem Tanz den Wettergott bezüglich Schnee, oder das Christkind auf reichliche Geschenke beschwören wollte, konnte nicht geklärt werden.“

Offensichtlich wurde die Polizei Zeuge des angekündigten Mobile Dancing Club, zu dem im Internet aufgerufen wurde. Dabei trafen sich Tanzfreudige mit einem MP3-Player, um öffentlich zu tanzen, beim ersten mal in der Karstadt-Unterführung, dann jetzt am Löwenburgkreisel.

Mobile clubbing flashmob in Kaiserslautern

Today at quarter to 6, it was again flashmob time in Kaiserslautern. I enjoy the sparse breakouts of the town's normality, especially on a mobile clubbing. Bring your own favorite music, shake freely. It was the best clubbing in town ever, seldomly I have seen so many happy people dancing in one place. No wonder, given the great music. I added some of my own to the soundtrack, bystanders heard nothing and wondered. Pics tomorrow.



thx and kudos to Katja, our flashmob queen.

but alas, I wish I would live in London, where they have really impressive mobile clubbings, like this one: (hey, theres a poidancer in it)
