Burning Man Festival 2011, timelapsed

Vom Nichts in der Wüste zu einem der berühmt berüchtigsten Festivals des Planeten. Das Video beginnt 27 Tage vor dem eigentlichen Festival und zeigt, wie alles wächst.

From dust to dust, this time lapse covers over 5 weeks including the preparation of the event, from before the trash fence erection and after basically everyone except for DPW trickles out. Other than a few occasional pauses, the main event goest by at a rate of 3 hours every second.

Dry Bones

Und dann kommt er doch immer wieder, der Tag, an dem mir das Internet Sachen vor den Kopf knallt, bei denen ich denke, so etwas Krasses habe ich lange nicht gesehen.

This project was a collaborative effort that spanned countries & time zones with several artists working long hours to finally put this piece out. The passage comes from an Old Testament prophecy, taken from Ezekiel 37. Not only is the text extremely descriptive and visual, lending itself to beautiful imagery, but show that where there is death and exile, hope and life can be found.

Dry Bones would not have been possible without the extremely talented artists with loads of patience, who I had the privilege of working with.

Wiener Imbissbuden bei Nacht: „Eiterquellen“

Stefan Fürtbauer hat ein schönes Fotoprojekt auf Behance abgelegt. Er fotografiert alte Imbissbuden in Wien bei Nacht. Mich erinnert das optisch sehr an die Zeitungskioske wie wir sie in der DDR hatten. Tolle Idee, auch wenn der Name nicht sonderlich ästhetisch klingen mag, was allerdings seine Gründe hat.

…is an ongoing project about Viennese Diners and the little different Viennese fast-food culture.Most of the time these Diners are isolated islands of food supply in an ancient surrounding with plenty of cultural heritage. Isolated both in the sense of appearance as well as in resisting global operating fast-food chains. But the ‚improper‘ their architecture and appearance may appear, the much heritage they actually hold themselves.Viennese wurstel diners have been introduced during the Austro-Hungarian K.u.K. Monarchy around 1870 to establish a safe income for wounded war veterans. Since then they became an essential part of urban culture not by only supplying snacks but being the place of the distinctive Viennese working class.The sub-urban Viennese tongue is a raw one and celebrated at exactly these places so I’ve chosen the title ‚Eiterquellen‘ (‚Pus Springs‘) for this project. The Viennese tongue has found some questionable synonyms for the food supplied at diners, like ‚Eitrige‘ (‚pus-filled‘) which describes a ‚Kaesekrainer‘ sausage which is filled with cheese and when put on the grill the cheese melts and oozes out. With some imagination this can look like pus. Preferably the ‚Kaesekrainer‘ is served with barf (mustard) and a hump (bread roll)…Of course these ancient Viennese diners had to evolve to catch up with international fast-food chains, Kebap diners and Asian snack bars. They’ve refurbished appearance with contemporary architecture which is by the way not unfamiliar with the style of diners of the 60ies in the US. But they served the same snacks they used to serve almost 150 years ago.It appears to me as if these ’new‘ Viennese diners wanted to provoke the ancient surrounding but not their own heritage and tradition.

I am made of Robots

Alex Varanese, den ich hier schon öfter mal hatte, hat wieder mal eine klasse Serie von Illustrationen auf Behance abgelegt: I am made of Robots.

Visually, I wanted to create a robot character that easily exploited the silliest 1950’s sci-fi tropes, but with a style more reminiscent of clunky toys from the early 1980’s. It just so happened that I’ve always thought audio cassettes look like robot faces as well, which seemed like an appropriate stylistic choice given my previous work.
