Stella Noeme Effenberger
Medienkunst / Mediengestaltung
BACKGROUND:
- grew up in and with nature (lonely house on a hill in the forest, granparents are farmers)
- raised by a very religious single mother who is an artist
- childhood was shaped by Christianity but I hated god so much for it that I stopped believing in him very early
- youth was shaped by mother believing in all kinds of weird stuff, especially conspiracies
- always was told "politics is something very boring and thinking about it will just make you sick, nothing can be changed anyway" - so I was highly apolitical and wanted to know nothing
- coming of age, I met some very sympathetical punks and discovered rock festival culture
- I learned that I was wrong about politics
- my grandfather wants me to be a politician instead of an artist
- I want to save the world (literally, the environmental destruction everywhere is killing the planet!)
IDEAS:
- solving world hunger by forcing the food industry to go vegan
- establish astrology as real science again and make it influence politics
- experiment with laws concerning drugs (legalize them all? prohibit alcohol in Germany?) and watch the mayhem
Alter Ego
- pragmatic, opportunistic, calculating
- neoliberal, economics over ecology
- not affected by ethical ideals
- diplomatic talent, flexible, not afraid to lie
- self-preservation is the highest premise
- "The world we live in is dominated by societies which are designed to serve assholes. So if you want to be on the winner's side out there you just have to be an asshole. That's how it works."
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- "The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. [...]"
- "Ding Dong. Es klingelt. Ich gehe zur Tür, öffne und stehe einem Känguru gegenüber. [...]"
