time is rushing past me and i didn't post in ages. That doesn't mean i didn't mean to. It's just that i try to use most of my time to work on moviesandbox - that is if i'm not trying to get from one place to another.
Life blurs and it is both good and bad. As long as i feel i can take some time to rest, everything is ok.
Spending some time doing nothing helps, too.
In these past weeks i have been to Leipzig, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Ludwigsburg, Bonn and Linz. All of the events were worth telling about, although i don't want this to degenerate in a "been here, done that" type of posting. Instead, there's this sort of feeling slowly spawning somewhere inside.
I feel that there is a new movement starting to take hold of people. A next generation of young artists start to embrace the new possibilities we have in a mix of commercial interest, integration into their lives and non-commercial cltural exploitation.
I like that, it gives me hope that people always find things that will link them to each other. Of course, you can argue that i am only subject to a tiny amount of people and also very agenda driven (then again, who isn't?). Still, i feel that there is something universal coming out of this. Something that even business people with gazillions of dollars dont manage to control.
As some might say, this is the next bubble that's just about to crash, others believe that it gives more and more people the opportunity to communicate and share culture, thought and art. And what more do we need these days than a proper way of communicating with each other?
With all the grim news surrounding us, we seem to embrace all the optimistic new bits that technology gives. It might be for the worse, in the end, who knows. But right now, it opens up possibilities and channels and ways to create culture and community that spread far beyond racial differences.
I just thought i'd write something positive...
there's tons more images on flickr.
And i just want to add a huge big thank you to all the people that hosted me in the past weeks, especially Andy/Nadya and Theo. Once i have a huge house, i'll throw a party and everyone's invited! I promise!
