Like a scanner I group myself through the city, details and totals, odd and common things, herdweare and softwear. Sterile concrete landscapes enclose the Old Town, it seems asleep and awake at the same time.

Melancholic claddings form the passepartouts of the wrinkly, paved street scenes the plagrounds of the Young. Gabbing at street corners, cracks and crimbling brickwork tell the city´s stories.

The antagonism presents a New City that attests to western prosperity. Lowered shutters on clean facades, onlY satellite dishes allude to occupants. Empty, hugely applied parkways inbetween prestigious motorways decorated with palmtrees.
Lifelessness dominates the image. CitY planning for growth, a satellite that´s not living yet?

Hundreds of pictures could never tell ones own impression of a place.
In "Ewolluschen Castelo Branco" ca. 300 pictures are combined to create a photo-realistic collage splitted in two parts. The citiy´s panorama concentrates real images of Catselo Branco and draws a portrait of the city and it´s development.

On places of city planning´s promises, architecture and the public space is put up for discussion. Questions come up: To what is a growing city geared to? Do city planners and architects construct after the needs of the inhabitants? What do  inhabitants think about it?

The world is a disco and the everyday madness in which we live.  We build towers of astronomical hights and wait for the redemption by the capitalist promise. It's time for a utopia that leads us out of the crisis and into a new order.

The exhibition shows two room-sized sculptures. They reflect the common practice in Berlin to escape the reality of the "Babylonian System" through extensive intoxication and shamanic dances. An installation of a computer-
controlled intricate and wired network of redundant and multimedia products 
gives off its characteristic sound. The resulting rhythmic fragments and traces are brought together by low-frequency and uniform basses. 
DiskoBabel is a remix of pop songs and the proof that there can be one unifying language in the world.

The originally cute tones of the toys are being triggered and thereby reduced into sound frazzles. The ball becomes an overloaded instrument playing dancable music and dancing itself.  The toys are mashed together, glued together for eternity on the ball. In their details, one can find the variety of human creativity going to the point of perversion; one can question the teethed apparatus of production and consumption. 

Approx. 30 movable and numerous stiff toys are being triggered by Midi. Partly the circuit works over the power supply of the toys; an IC can give the control command. All toys are equipped with a plug-exit; a switching power suply of max. 20A with 12V is able to supply all devices. The ball can be disjointed into 2 halfes.

Glorifying the civil objects of identification, it is the glamour of the present, achievable for you and me and culturally relevant to a whole generation. We don´t need no blood-diamonds and don´t need to question the dead. Our position is sparkling and our identities able to move fast like the stuff around us, that keeps us busy - brands, music, working hard, walking along with our sneakers as long as they last. 

1.600 LEDs can be triggered as a bit-system and therefore can display any image, also as moving lights and sequences.

A travel through Europe eastwards becomes a travel through cities. Apart from parliaments and political decisions, these cities develop their own tempi and their own languages. A bable of pictures of individuals, unique situations and  universalities melt together to what is meant by trans. An image of possibilities and potentials develops between the intimite detail and the view  of  the overall.
