Markt und Maus (Market and Mouse) Stefan Pach How can we make mice live by the rules of investment banking? To improve the understanding of the dynamics of finance markets the "Market and Mouse"-System tries to simulate a part of the fiscal universe. The main analysis focuses on the aspect of investment banking. This is the field with the biggest possible profit. "Market and Mouse" investigates how mice decide if they have to choose between high risk but high value options and less lucrative possibilities.		Brume by Sebastian Wolf & Michael Kugler In 'Brume', the artist duo Michael Kugler and Sebastian Wolf investigate immateriality by coaxing fog into a semi-geometrical, self-organizing form. The viewer becomes a catalyst for disturbance, generating turbulences that not only illustrate the carrying power of the air, but upset a perceived equilibrium, and reveal the spatial and temporal volatility of such a phenomenon. 'Brume' operates in the margins between ubiquity and the finite, symmetry and the amorphous, transience and permanence, and gesturing at the paradox of immateriality.

Super Cell		„You shall not make for yourself an idol...“ ...just google it. plug & pray is an interactive artwork that allows believers to pray through their computer. plug & pray makes the search for God easier, with the help of the internet. plug & pray works as if you were praying. Believers use the pray device that activates a google image search for the word „God“ on the act of praying. plug & pray believers see the results of their prayers as spiritualized video, projected before their very eyes.
