Hello folks, it has been quiet here in the last months. That’s because I started setting up a new project:

think is a laboratory which cares about responsible design & ideas. So far the website is speaking german only – an english version will be launched later this year. Feel free to follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

This blog will move its domain some time in the future, but will stay active and focused on media art and playful interaction. I also set up a new personal twitter account – follow in case you are interested.

… and so will I? Probably at least a little.
I’m going to India for 4,5 months, starting in August. This will lead to some different content as usual in this blog, feel free to unsubscribe if you’re only interested in my posts about design and technology. You’re more than welcome to stay or start subscribing, if you are interested in some travel reports and more personal things as seen here before.
The travel-posts will be in English and German for the time of the journey, so that also my family can stay up to date this way :) If I continue being successful in convincing, Mirjam will also give us some shouts from time to time, live from her internship at Auroville.

So, what are the plans so far?
Arriving in Mumbai late at night, traveling to Tamil Nadu in two weeks, because Mirjams internship starts there beginning of September. No more detailed plans yet, just some placemarks with interesting things in the south.
I hope I’m going to check some of them out… perhaps I’m also going more north… not sure yet!

Ready for the largest cultural shock in my life :)

PS: Yes, I’m there for holidays!

new photos on my flickr. be sure to be my logged in flickr friend for seeing the personal pictures too.

After 1,5 years of VJing, fair construction sites and writing diploma (!), my laptop keyboard urgently needed a cleanup. For remembering the positions of the keys I took photos.

I continued taking photos because I really enjoyed digging deeper in the basis of the number one man-machine interface – besides it really looks cool.

Unfortunately I broke my F12 key during the operation… but as I’m not a Mac user, I won’t cry.

I recently updated my Flickr with a lot of analogue taken photos from the last half year, including New York, Bremen, Salzburg, Graz, and Frankfurt.

I usually announced posts of this kind with a bunch of thumbnails. But unfortunately my chosen method (a wp plugin) doesn’t work anymore. Any ideas how to insert flickr photos in a blogpost easily? Can’t imagine that I still need a plugin to do that?!

I recently discovered this little sticker on a paper towel dispenser in a toilet in New York:

It seems to work:

“Testing shows a “These Come From Trees” sticker on a paper towel dispenser reduces paper towel consumption by ~15%”
official website

It worked for me too, I didn’t use one of the paper towels and decided to let the air do the work. I ordered the large sticker pack, so be aware fast food restaurants and shared flat parties.
Please spread the project, and get a bunch of stickers for your neighborhood!

The reason for not posting the last months:

done. more photos.

Search krone.at for current interpretations. Great fun! I wouldn’t wonder if there is an own Cordoba category.
Have a nice game everyone.

site works again. phew.

I had the pleasure to fly to Beijing for a MESO project recently. Very exciting city with, believe it or not, lots of Chinese! More surprises caught with my camera:
