germany and the web: far behind in loving it, excellent in bitching about it and always pleasing with innovative spam ideas.

elin wikström: "cool or lame?" (pictures from the exhibition at gallery hlemmur, Reykjavík.)
yesterday in one room, er, hall with the grandmaster of clusters, györgy ligeti.
i consider his work not so easy to digest but the national chamber choir of the netherlands and the excellent acoustics of the viennese konzerthaus turned it into touching soundscapes.
after the concert standing ovations for the man in the wheelchair, the sound of fulfilled lives.
imagine if i could login at antville.org as tobi/p3k.org and the antville installation there would retrieve the user session via xml-rpc from this antville installation here... theoretically, this way it would be possible to login at any antville site.
(with the right api definition this even could work between any two blogging systems.)
however, right now i only can guess that there is at least one big problem with such kind of remote login.
and it opens a bunch of questions, e.g. which site is a comment stored at? or: can i become a remote member of an antville.org site?
loving the idea of love.

together with toledo/dertschei, one half of sensomatic and our kind host s. we also took a look inside the guggy peggenheim collection in venice.
Joseba Zulaika wrote an article about Guggenheim Bilbao: "The Museum of the 21st Century or the Seduction of Incongruence".
so, besides paintings being presented in fundamentally inadequate aisles (1.5 meters wide, at least in venice) and the too obvious cult of personality, there actually seems to be something more way-wrong with the guggenheim museums (or similar foundations).
side-note: the "survival guide for demonstrators" available for free at arsenal recommends a trip to bilbao for a protest against the museum.
