yesterday was the opening of transmediale.
it seems very common (at last it was the same @ ars electronica), that these kind of openings are just for lovely vips. but tada – we are lucky to be one of them (read: got an invatation).
sounds gread? hmm, the unlucky point was the timing… we were about 1o minutes late in the building and had to find out where to go – grabbing up the accreditation costs us another 10 min – then finaly: the entrance door! i tried to open the door, but there were some security guys, telling us that we are to late (…!) and there is a performance going on inside, so it’s not possible to get in… “oh no come on, we came all the way from vienna!”
but somehow he seemed to be an friendly person and after a bit of a mix of begging, wondering and argueing (like: please… what… come on!), he told us that it’s possible to get in when the performance is finished and the introduction lecture is starting.
at this time we where on a – well – but better then nothing level, so we went to the exhipition, to get a litte impression meanwhile.
here are some pics i was taking there:
Nam June Paik
Antoni Muntadas – Slogans 1987
uebermorgen.com – QS-Psyom
+ a video that originaly includes 30 or more ways to kill a cherry, here is one of them:

after that and meeting some people, we went back to hear the introduction from anne-marie duguet (curator). we want to get in… but the securitys guys were stopping us again.
“no, no its forbidden u can’t get in”
“no problem, look here here is oure invitation”
he didn’t look at it, but he got this very offical security-face and then he told us that it’s totally crowded inside and this is why we can’t go in…
just in this very second about 8 people were coming out…
“ok, good when all this people are leaving, there’s more space and we can go inside smile!”
“nonono, it will make to much brouhaha when people are going in…”
“u mean its making more razzmatazz when somebody’s going in, then when sombody is going out ?”
(what the hell?)
this was giving me a head hurly-burly
I WAS NOT SMILING !!!
so we decidet to go somewhere else, some place were we are “allowed”
and went to the c-base. this is an 4.5 billion years old ancient space construction which was discovered underneath berlin mitte, in 1995 (”!”…)
they say: addictet to the cosmic destination of c-base, a community has spawned to pursue concepts compatible for the future, beyond reach. “wow!!!”
on this evening this meant that they were inviting the digital class of the udk berlin, to make someting like a reality check with them.
then a presentation from hannes koch, random_international, london:
that was pretty impressing:
he had someting like a “glow in the dark” screen and a house painter wheel, he made some pics from people
around him, converted them into black and white pixel-pix and then… he paintet them on the screen with
his wheel…
if this sounds confusing to u, watch the video…

here are another project, that made me forget the owfull start of the evening
:)) (onestly, i’ m crasy about that!)
it’s a work from a guy from the digital class of udk, this shoe is similar to a gps system of a car;
u can give the shoe the information where u want to go to, and then it is calculating the way, if u r leaving
the perfekt line, it feels like going up the walls of a tube. so cool!
more about cabboots
sorry guys… there is no more info about the creatures of the night…
due to massive alcohol consumption i decided to get as many people drunk as possible… one of my favourite real games…
one exception… the fabulous, extraordinary, fuck i wanna kiss his feet… world’s greatest dancer… EVIIIL KNIEVEEEL …if somebody knows his contact address send it to me…please…! he needs to perform in vienna as well!
