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





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. [...]"
