What we definitely do not know about Metamoderne.

1. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT METAMODERNE IS
2. BEEING METAMODERN MEANS FEELING METAMODERN
3. METAMODERNE ALWAYS BEGINS NOW

All our knowledge, are begins with the senses, will proceeding then to the understanding, and is ended with reason. Nothing higher than reason.

Vse naše znanje začne s čutili, bo nadaljevalo z razumom, in se je konča z umom. Nič višja od uma.

[translation] This Is Not A Test! You Have been Warned
Make your own art. Do not expect me to do it for you: I have nothing to say and I’m saying it. The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. I have no special message. I wish I did. It would be great if I had one.
a=tF² — To find the art, you multiply the time by the square of the force.

From 17 September to 9 October, the »Ascents« light art festival will enable visitors to discover flights of steps, vantage points, Stuttgart’s famous »Stäffele« steps, towers and other ascents from a new perspective. The festival‘s curator, Joachim Fleischer, has invited more than 40 artists from 10 different countries to draw inspiration from the many different places of ascent in the region. All these unique installations can be viewed every day from 8 pm to 12 midnight in 25 different towns and cities.

Slovenian-born multimedia artist Igor Štromajer sends out a coded message from the watchtower in Esslingen to the town below. The lights that blink from the windows of the watchtower are relaying a message in Morse code. A clue to the meaning of this message is provided in the name of his work »Im Menschen lebt der Gedanke!« (»Thoughts live in people!«). Štromajer leaves it to the observer to either decode the message or simply enjoy the sensory perceptions.

internetstadl#3

Saturday, 9 April 2016 at NRW-Forum Düsseldorf

Are you tired of being dependent on the internet and want to return to the physical world? On the occasion of the Night of Museums 2016, the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf will host a Yami-Ichi as its third Internetstadl, where products from the internet will be sold in real life – a kind of offline celebration of online products.

#embroidery: 25 DIY cross-stitch patterns
by Igor Štromajer

The new monthly series of events Internetstadl offers an introduction to the digital future. The Internetstadl brings together creative and digital pioneers and turns online culture into an entertaining event format. Internetstadl ist curated by Alain Bieber, artistic director of the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf, together with the net artist Florian Kuhlmann and the creator Thomas Artur Spallek.

At the Offline-Geek-Flea Market objects will change real hands that are otherwise only available online – the offline world as a legal black market. Following Tokyo, Berlin, Brussels and Amsterdam the Yami Ichi, invented by the Japanese artist group IDPW, is now coming to Düsseldorf.
