Hi everybody!
As you might figured there hasn’t been all that much activity lately on SOS. That is because things, including ourselves, are busy transitioning at the moment….
The info about why and how you’re quite likely to find on this blog. I suggest you browse through the articles via the topics. That’ll keep you busy for a while and eventually even inspire you…
If you are looking for more, selected info, check www.art-ecology-education.org
Until we’ll be back feeding you with info, I wish you moving times using the one that is already outthere.
Saludos!
Anti-Campaigning, De-Branding, Ad-Busting … wie man es auch immer nennen mag: jetzt haben sich jedenfalls die Aktivisten von Urgewald RWE vorgeknöpft, doch die scheinen sich zu wehren:
RWEs Kreativ-Agentur Jung v. Matt droht urgewald mit Strafanzeige, Gerichtskosten, Schadensersatz und sonstigen Unannehmlichkeiten und stellte ein Ultimatum bis zum 2. April 12:00 Uhr. Das Ultimatum verlangt die Unterlassung der Verbreitung des Protestmotives
Mehr dazu hier. Thomas Pleil vom Textdepot hat auch einen interessanten Artikel mit einigen weiterführenden Links dazu verfasst. Und über eine vergleichbare Aktion von Greenpeace mit Vattenfall als Adressaten haben wir auf Sound Of Sirens bereits berichtet.
Ich bin gespannt, ob und wie sich die Sache im Netz und gerade in den Blogs verbreiten wird und ob bei einem entsprechenden Echo die Anwälte von JvM kleinbeigeben werden.
(Einen netten Artikel über die sog. Macht der Blogger gibt es übrigens bei u9tupfing) Wie auch immer – spread the news! Schaden kann’s ja nicht. ;)

‘Ist ein Erdbeerjoghurt virtuell oder real? Oder die Summe vieler Sehnsüchte? Die Künstlerin Jekaterina Anzupowa geht diesen Fragen nach, indem sie den Zutaten hinterherreist – und dabei selbst mit der Realität spielt.’
Mehr dazu im Montagsinterview der TAZ mit der Performancekünstlerin Jekaterina Anzupova.

In Germany you can write off about $0.45 for every half mile you drive over 12 miles in your daily commute from your taxes. Germany pays you to cause congestion. Every radio station in Germany announces the success of their program each morning by listing how many kilometers long the Stau is on each street.
Hahahahaha! Filed under: Ein bisschen Spaß muss sein! chrchrchr…
Schöner Blog!
Crossing from the personal to the political, local to the global, Nomadology is an anthology of anecdotes, gonzo journalism, personal confessions and political reflections by digital gypsies on the nature of travel in a globalised world. Nomadology features unconventional travel stories with a consciousness that taps into a generation of young travellers seeking something more than the tourism circuits promoted by generic guidebooks and package holidays.
What unites the stories is the question of what travel means in a globalised world. What is the connection between the modern backpacker and the philosophy of the nomad in traditional cultures, and how do we trascend the barriers of culture and connect with the places we are travelling through.

Erdbeerjoghurt 150g ist ein zeitbasiertes Kunstprojekt, von Jekaterina Anzupowa, Performancekünstlerin aus Berlin, das aus zwei Reisen besteht.
Die Reiseroute ist jeweils ein Nachvollziehen der Transportwege der einzelnen Zutaten eines handelsüblichen Erdbeerjoghurts.
Die erste Reise basiert auf den Daten aus einer Studie von Dr. Stefanie Böge aus dem Jahr 1992 und deckt grob gesehen das Gebiet der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ab.
Die zweite Reise orientiert sich an Daten aus dem Jahr 2008 und wird weltumspannend sein…..

Last week i stumbled upon several sites with some interesting artcles and news about greenwashing. Due to the lack of time for blogging, you’ll get them as a single link-list right now:
OK – all quite usa-focused, i guess everything is transferrable to the rest of the globe, though. So, what’s the conclusion? Both sides are aware of the problems, hopefully the companies seriously start “cleaning up their acts, not just their images” some day…
“A Fake is A Fake” Is a new communication/media-criticism ongoing art-project from Les Liens Invisibles. It’s a free service where you can run a blog with ready-made themes that are clones of popular CI’s like Financial Times, White House or the Bundeskanzlerin design. “Get a free Account, choose a mask, start faking!”
“You were told that a new democracy of communication was possible, that the lies of corporate media were to disappear and that your voice was going to play an active role in the formation of public discourse.
You were deluded into believing that even the world, this world, would become a better place through detailed diffusion of low-cost technologies, through the birth of telematic networks and the establishment of blogs and social networks.
While the watered-down fantasies that came with the rise of web 2.0 are being dissolved, a bitter consciousness remains: that communication itself, after all, is an illusion. That information, however probable it may seem, is still a fiction and that a fake, in the end, is only a fake. Anyway.”
Looks like great fun and i allways loved the idea of deconstructing corporates by simply faking their look. “A Fake is A Fake” takes the primary punk method a step further into our 2008 digital era. Nice!
