This A-side of A Rational Tangle, released in 2015 on The Death of Rave has the most beautiful drop. Instead of “driving” one should describe techno as “pulling patterns”, I have proposed on the basis of Henning Baer’s machinic rubbing (L. Fakegruber: A new rave writing term for “driving”. In: Shituationist Institute, 12/6/2019), A1 of…
Some common techno writing attributes just make you shake your head, words like “driving” to describe the flow of a track. With a track like the one above by Henning Baer you can hear a big drum and a dark net, and a machinic rubbing. Another term for driving: unfolding of the pulling pattern.
The year is 2029, we are sitting in front of the prestigious cultural centre owned since some years by the Hyperreality Festival Foundation and we think back to the year 2019, when the first independent issue of the festival was held in the Austrian outback of the Vienna forest Wienerwald, up in a rural holiday…
“Nothing to Hide” is a film started by Marc in April 2015 with a journalist colleague of him, Mihaela. At that time They were working on different digital related issues (Marc for instance was focusing on the economical issues of Big Data, Mihaela more on privacy).

Dean Kissik writes for the Spike magazine about politicans and other non-artists as artists or about the dynamics that unfold once you start thinking about non-artists as artists.¹ Here are two quotes from the text and a shituationist reply. Glenn Beck, practises something similar and has very often been described as a “performance artist” himself.…
“Human emotion or it didn’t happen” (NewHive) The Wrong Biennale is a biennale taking place online. Websites are the pavilions. But the spatial and temporal concept of a biennale does not fit the digital realm. Even if exactly this contradiction is what is played out here, I am still unconvinced. Does the vast space of…
Remember when all the hip art students were suddenly carrying around french insurrectionist literature by the Invisible Committee and Tiqqun? One could guess it was over in 2010, after that Fox news commercial (insurrectionism became mainstream?), all we can say is, that on the surface only some ironic ripples were left online.

‘Immer noch nicht hell’ – ‘Still not bright’ – is the title of a volume of poems published by Bernd Volkert in the Berlin-based xs-Verlag. The poems are adequate to the title insofar as they on the one hand bring to mind the fact that the free association of free individuals still doesn’t exist, but…
so let’s say, the extremes of the festival are: theatre, circus, fire shows, punk concerts on the one end, turmbühne, trance floor, bachstelzen on the other end. and that makes for a quite amazing weekend land behind those double barbed wire fences. our favorites are nevertheless tanzwüste as the rave territorium all the time, karl…

Impressions from the festival: the new fence, that was erected to keep out the thousands of people that joined every year for free. A performance at the festival, with a little gated space that only a small number of people was allowed to enter and to play on the grass and enjoy the barbecue with…
Few months now I didnt really contribute much content on this blog for several particular reasons. First because I am back in Berlin for long term, which means that I m still trying to figure out what the future brings to my life. The second and perhaps much more interesting reason was that Im trying…
