ABOUT
Looking at a stage set consisting of black boxes , I ask myself how I can be sure that 9 musicians, an actress and a conductor are really there. And if the aforementioned truly are hidden within these boxes, I have to ask myself how they can communicate with each other.
I can see a camera man flitting between the boxes and wonder which of the projections on the 3 screens are being filmed live and which already happened.
I see people presenting and producing themselves and hear the music they create. I hear status updates, a tutorial, a fashion haul. I see status updates, a tutorial, a fashion haul. I overhear how someone sitting next to me says to his neighbour „I can hear sounds made by pictures“. I hear a Ganguro Girl and see a kind of love, I hear self-optimisation and see an EGOrchestra, watch a Beethoven dance, see cloned classics and hear production via self-production. I begin to have an idea of how we build collectives with our digital representatives, although we are isolated from one another. I ask myself what survives in such a society and what doesn´t; who wins and who loses. I ask myself how these people in their boxes satisfy their needs for companionship, love and recognition. I wonder which feedback counts.
Are you still in love or starting to put yourself out there? Are you present enough, are you representable? Are you your own archive? Are you living in your archive? Living your life away? or WHAT??

Hello! This post could not be written any better!
Reading this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept talking about this.
I will forward this write-up to him. Fairly certain he
will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
I every time spent my half an hour to read this webpage’s articles or reviews daily along with a
mug of coffee.
Spot on with this write-up, I honestly feel this amazing site needs a great deal more attention. I’ll probably be
returning to see more, thanks for the advice!
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very
hard to get that „perfect balance“ between superb usability and visual appearance.
I must say you’ve done a amazing job with this.
Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Internet explorer.
Exceptional Blog!
I am really loving the theme/design of your web site.
Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility
issues? A couple of my blog readers have complained about my blog not operating
correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?
I read this paragraph fully concerning the comparison of latest and preceding technologies,
it’s remarkable article.
Have you ever considered publishing an ebook or guest authoring on other blogs?
I have a blog centered on the same information you
discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I
know my readers would value your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to
send me an e mail.
