Introduction I don't get things organised. I like the writings of Buckminster Fuller, C.G Jung, Michael Heim. Whenever my housemates encourage me to join them for an evening out dancing, the idea seems really exciting. But when its actually time to leave the house staying at home with a nice book is so much more tempting ...
Interests Media Art, Telematic Art, Buckminster Fuller, LongNow, Bernard Rudofksy, Carl Jung, Jean Gebser
Favorite Movies Gambling Gods & LSD, Donnie Darko, Harold & Maude, Spirited Away, Mononoke hime, wings of desire, Magnolia, American Beauty, Dark City, Gattaca, Near Dark, Point Break, Sans Soleil by Chris Marker but while watching it the 10'th time i recognised that it's just a random collection of meaningless impressions. Or perhaps i still don't understand it ... correct me if i am wrong. Btw: The german voiceover is much better than the original one!
