{ Schlingensief (not) in the Volksbuehene } ” i hate theater. “ 1960 – 2010 † The master deconstructionist who would never keep his art within the walls, on a stage, in the cinema, or within reasonable limits… Long Live The ENFant TERRible von Oberhausen ! … Perhaps it will take some time for the english-speaking press and cultural spheres to fully grasp what Christoph Schlingensief is to the artworld. For the moment there is only a silly AP news wire blurb making the rounds w/ some of the least important facts which reach only as far as to link him to his Bayreuth and Manaus Opera moments, and to call him “controversial… with strong political messages.

{ On the way back from DK, the seagulls dance in the wind currents of the ferry } Folk & Fæ Symposium Last week the XLterrestrials participated in a Symposium on a small idyllic island anachronism in the Danish South Sea. Named Folk & Fae, the event was constructed as a convergence of international artists to explore the relationship between animals and humans, while at the same time remixing the classic Platonic scenario in which seven philosophers gathered to consider the nature of Eros.

{ found on the web from Plog knows where } Topple the word/game order – part 2 Well you may have heard the latest news blip on the Palin Worm. She’s trying to outdo the Great Ex-Communicator-In-Chief, Bushyboy, by inventing words like “refudiate”… and then juxtaposing herself w/ Shakespeare, who might ALSO have coined a few words […]

{ the Local Community on the Move, Demo Routes } < 10.7 > MegaSpree’s Rette Deine Stadt / Save Your City ! Ok, we could say a mouthful about marches from Pt. A to pt. B, but still the efforts to create awareness about Berlin’s ” incredible shrinking autonomous zones” – otherwise known as gentrification – cannot be understated, and ‘@‘-Parades/Demos are usually done with great flair here on the B-sides. And btw, this one’s got several points incorporating at least 5 neighborhoods and a concept to swarm the center.

{ On the pre-sale trail of a teratological future } Slavoj Žižek’s latest stirring article – Unbehagen In der Natur * here in eng * takes it’s cue from Freud’s Unbehagen In der Kultur or Civilization and Its Discontents (in eng.). To decipher it’s meaning + mechanism in the midday summer heat, we sense the challenge of an inverted spelunking trip, attempting to find a jewel in the vast shifting sands and a glittering desert sun. Everything is eye-catching, blinding, or a provocation to think in shadows + negatives + retraced steps.

{ The ingenious work of Ryohei Hase } work-in-progress Ever wonder why it’s always one giant leap for mankind and 3 steps backward for life on the planet ??! XLterrestrials have been researching the “Technotopian” mindset for some time, with the intent to illuminate that there is not only little evidence that technology leads to a sum benefit for society as a whole, but more pertinently, a wide range of technological inventions in the current predatory landscape tend to increase the chances that the planet could soon be rendered uninhabitable.
