In Japanese culture the dragon is said to be a symbol of supernatual powers. With incredible strength and a hidden wisdom. It was said the only way to journey past a dragon was to answer its riddles.

scumskullzare constructed from black and white pixels on a 5×5 grid. the result is a space-Invaders-like pixel fighter – friendly or aggressive, chaotic or regular. it started out as an icon design study and has grown into a collaborative online art project with contributors from all over the planet. but beware: not every 5×5 bitmap is valid. there are certain constraints the anatomy of a scumskull has to meet. like almost every living creature on earth they are symmetric and contiguous. they have to touch all boundaries of the construction grid, too. an exhaustive search showed that according to this definition there are 12,209 possible scumskullz.
scumskullzusually live on computer screens and stickers on the streets, but they can be made out of everything you can imagine. bathroom tiles, legos, food, rubber stamps, lamps or truetype fonts. there are even rumors of scumskullz spotted on acid sheets and pills of E. visit the website to witness the global infiltration, learn more about the anatomy, view all discovered species and create your own scumskull. the scumskullz crew consists of interdisciplinary design and IT experts based in munich, bavaria.

Augustiner Bräu is a brewery located in Munich, Germany.
Established in 1328, it is Munich’s oldest still independent brewery and produces some of Munich’s most popular brands of beer.
The origins of the Augustiner brewery date back to the year 1294. On July 5, Pope Celestine V succeeded Nicholas IV as the 192nd pope and on December 24 – Pope Boniface VIII became the 193rd pope after Celestine V abdicated the papacy on December 13, only five months after reluctantly accepting his surprise election on July 5, wishing to return to his life as an ascetic hermit. It was in this year when, on the order of the bishop of Freising, an Augustinian monastery was established at the Haberfeld, just outside the gates of Munich (a city famous for its breweries operated by monks). By 1315, the monastery had been incorporated within the city walls of Munich.
The earliest documented evidence of the brewery’s existence comes from the year 1328 (when a major fire spared the brewing house); this year is now commonly accepted as the founding year, although the brewery had probably existed for several years before the fire. The monastery was granted the right not only to brew beer but also to sell it on their premises which started the tradition of brewery-owned beer halls that still exists today. From the brewery’s inception until secularisation in 1803, when many Bavarian monasteries were put under state control by Napoleons‘ reforms, the brewery was present at the original site and only sold within the monastery’s own tavern. After the takeover of the monastery by the state, the monks walked out in protest.
Augustiner beer is normally found within the Greater Munich area, but in the last few years it became quite popular outside of Munich, for example in Berlin where dozens of bars offer it. The reputation of the brewery is so good that the company does not engage in any advertising campaigns. As an example, when most German breweries changed their bottle to a slim and more modern design to give their beer a more classy and less old fashioned appearance some ten years ago, Augustiner stuck with the “classic” older form, often nicknamed the “Bauarbeiterhalbe” (construction worker’s bottle). The labels have not changed in over 20 years either. Its brands nevertheless are among the most popular of Munich’s beers, and the company regularly reaches an annual output of more than 90 million litres (2003).
Augustiner Bräu operates a beer tent on the Oktoberfest, as well as owning one of Munich’s largest beer gardens, the Augustiner-Keller at Arnulfstraße 52, and several traditional bars throughout the city. In recent years, Augustiner beer has become a popular drink in several bars in Berlin; however, the amounts of Augustiner consumed in Berlin are still minuscule compared to its popularity in Munich.
In the record-breaking heat of summer 2003, the brewery refused to sacrifice brewing quality and traditional process to increase production, even though it could have sold more beer.
In the US there is one distributor named Global Village Imports, LLC. that carries Augustiner, it is located in King of Prussia, PA. Although the demand is high, the distribution is very limited.
You can also taste it at “Schneider’s” in NYC Manhattan. Ask for an “Edelstoff”.

Exhibition at the Praterinsel in München / Germany. March 2008. 120qm of visual art. 5 banner sized pillared collages. (5 x 2,1m x 11m)
By SPAMCONSUMER & Stephan Doesinger.
A vacant white room with lights is still a submission to the neutral.
Works of art seen in such spaces seem to be going through a kind of aesthetic convalescence. Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object.
I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition. Art, after all, is traditionally displayed against vacancies: paintings on dun
walls, sculptures in empty spaces, music in quiet halls, girls in tight shorts.
Everyone has the right to walk from one end of the city to the other in secure and beautiful spaces.
Everybody has the right to go by public transport. Everybody has the right to an unhampered view
down their street, not full of railings, signs and rubbish.
_ I try to construct a picture in which shapes, spaces, colors, form a set of unique relationships, independent of any subject matter. At the same time I try to capture and translate the excitement and emotion aroused in me by the impact with the original idea.
It’s not about doing over the living room of someone who has bad taste in color. This is about restoring historic buildings and instilling pride in a community, which can be done through designing new public spaces and social gathering spots.People have less privacy and are crammed together in cities, but in the wide open spaces they secretly keep tabs on each other a lot more.
You’re torn between wanting to fill in all the spaces and knowing that’s really going to screw up the screenplay. And yet, how are you going to communicate it to people who really don’t understand the process? Sacred spaces can be created in any environment. We call them “Bastard Spaces“!
» Learning from Sim City” is neither a geek’s wet dream about the virtualisation of space, nor is it a techno-phobe’s lamentation of the loss of physical matter. An eye – that of a 21st century critic-tourist – onto the great screen-saver that is our reality, and illuminates the inevitability of an illuminated future that oscillates between the supposedly real and the allegedly virtual.« Shumon Basar, Architectural editor for Tank Magazine, writer for Blueprint Magazine and curator at The Architectural Association, London

You are the only one who can search honestly inside yourself for the meaning of your life, eternal love and infinite energy. No doctrines, no set formulas, no new prophets or false messiahs or hypocritical rituals. You will only find your personal salvation in the simplicity of your own feelings, of the sincerity of doing good.
Who told you that God exists?
It is just the blind faith of tradition, then God died a long time ago. If it is because of the fear from Hell, then give up, you are already doomed and in the middle of a major shit storm. If it is because of the love for others then begin to love yourself: look for your real neighbour, your real enemy – it’s certain that they are living inside you. And don’t think that I am preaching some exasperated rationalism. No. It is simply that faith, the religion of today and the mysticism of the future, has more truth when it is based on you, on your own God and your own creed, on that which we search for and find, which doesn’t even has a face or symbol, or hope of collecting charity or prayers, but that simply lives in you, fed by your pain, hopes, dreams and visions.
»Mysticism and exaggeration go together.
A mystic must not fear ridicule if he is to push
all the way to the limits of humility or the limits of delight. «

The permanent surveillance generates an uninterrupted reality scan.
All of this media footage is being reflected back to the societie’s eyes and ears.
The monitored consumers became the controlled addicts of this circular flow of entertainment.
A metapher for loosing our souls and disoriented victims of the global crisis.
As we know them today: Zombies - the living Dead – the abart of the century.
It was a treatment for Carhartt’s RUGGED Magazine. (Check their website…)
Yestertimes the governing portion used to conduct the newspapers and media relatives.
Now the media monopolists pilot their string puppets.
I wrote a comprehensive recapitulation about media manipulation.
My analysis in a nutshell.
It was a treatment for Carhartt’s RUGGED Magazine. (Check their website…)
Our world is constantly becoming a smaller place.
Broadcasting stations brings us news from every part of the globe directly into our homes.
The network of the media corporations has become ever so complex.
Media tycoons, like Silvio Berlusconi and Rupert Murdoch, embody the global power of the media and the danger of it manipulating politics and public alike.
The outcome of elections can be manipulated by swaying opinions and wars abroad seem to have become the instruments of political campaigning at home.
Even terrorists make use of the modern tools of propaganda.
All that remains to audiences is to participate as a silent zombie in front of the idiot box.
What is propaganda? Are satellite-TV and Internet the last step to total control?
Or is all of this nothing more than harmless entertainment?
Diesen Wildstyle habe ich zufällig auf einer externen Festplatte gefunden.
Er ist aus dem Jahr 2002 - also nur 7 Jahre alt und noch nicht verschimmelt wie andere feuchte Blätter, Bücher, Blöcke und alte Skizzen… Früher hieß sowas tatsächlich “Wildstyle” – heute ist das eine botanische Strichübung oder sinnlose Dekoration für Fashionshootings.
This is the one and only official overview of my Life, the Universe, and everything.
Have a nice trip on this planet and enjoy my Galleries!
