Fundraiser: Gaza Biennale Berlin
Join us on Saturday, September 13, 2025, 13–20h at Engeldamm 64, 10179 Berlin (Kreuzberg).
Solidarity Fundraiser for the
Gaza Biennale –- Berlin Pavilion
Works by 100+ Berlin artists
Each work €50
Over 120 Berlin-based artists have already donated works on paper in solidarity with colleagues in Palestine. The fundraiser will make the Berlin Pavilion possible: It will support the participating artists in Gaza by paying them artist fees, reproducing works that cannot leave Gaza under the siege, and expanding the ecosystem of the Biennale that allows the public to engage with their work.
If you are a Berlin-based artist and would like to contribute works on paper to the fundraiser, please email fundraising@gazabiennaleberlin.com for more information.
Radio Spaetkauf panel
Join us live-in-studio with season two of the Radio Spaetkauf x Europäische Akademie Berlin podcast collaboration. This year we focus on CULTURE. Each episode features fresh voices and perspectives representing a wide array of backgrounds, expertise and disciplines. Host Daniel Stern is joined by researchers, academics, independent artists, journalists and community leaders with unique insights into our evolving cultural interactions.
September 13th: Museums are more than just buildings that house objects. They are sites of memory, meaning, and power – spaces where stories are told, preserved, and sometimes contested. But who decides what’s worth keeping? And how do museums evolve in response to the cultures and technologies of their time?
As boundaries blur between archive and activism, exhibition and experience, we ask: What is a museum today? And what should it be? Together we explore the shifting roles of museums in shaping public understanding, identity, and imagination.
Guests include:
Michael Soltau – Synthesizer Museum Berlin
Aram Bartholl – Media and concept artist
Lilja-Ruben Vowe – PhD in cultural history, curator and inclusive mediator
Dr. Wenke Wegner – Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation
Host: Dan Stern
MINIMALE REVOLTE Festival
The festival brings artistic short films into public space – presented in a mobile, seemingly
improvised exhibition object: a transport cart with pneumatic tires, stacked with various boxes,
crates and bags, all secured with colorful tension straps. Through peepholes in these containers,
passersby can watch the films on hidden tablets or smartphones.
The route leads through five locations in the district (Goslaer Platz, Mierendorffplatz,
Österreichpark, Schustehruspark, Lietzenseepark). At each stop, the “mini-museum” stays for
about one hour. The project is accompanied throughout the day by the two artists and curators
Marian Luft and Moritz Frei, who will be present to assist and engage with the audience.
Curated by Marian Luft & Moritz Frei
With:
Iván Argote, Sophia Süßmilch, Björn Melhus, Hansol Kim, Barış Çavuşoğlu, Lorna Mills, Andrew Birk, Peng Li

Google Maps is sick

It looks like google maps has a serious disease. Swineflu maybe? Some days ago red dots (smallpox?) appeared in the (inter)face. Uhh … looks awful. Someone please call the doctor!
(Hey Google!! You can’t just change the interface without asking. What am I supposed to do with my “Map” installation now ???!! You already messed up the navigation cross a while ago!! OMG … HELP !!!)

It’s not a secret that intellectual property has a different status in chinese culture and it’s not a secret that copyrighted material is easyly available i.e. on the chinese youtube clone youku.com. But it is quite surprising that a big US company doesn”t mind to run ads for its own service in China on top of a copyright violated hollywood movie …. LOL
(We can learn a lot from chinese culture!)
More Google Products

Yes, Nice one! Check more by Filippo Minelli!

Flat and Frozen

I took a walk on Times Square NYC but I couldn’t move my head and the cars and people seamed a bit flat ( hey @googleearth, where is the first person view – mouse look control option?).
Then I took a ride by car on Time Square again but got of course stuck in time-traffic jam. Everybody was frozen like in an “Improve Everywhere” performance. I wonder what the combination of those two with some game like controls and a pinch of photosynth could be … ?
(Not talking about real time locative microblogging streams and all that GPS devices out there …)
Google Car Berlin

And here is a picture of the Google Streetview car cruising in Berlin and rest of Germany (and Europe). Btw, I am still waiting for Miscrosoft going public with the praised Photosynth webservice. Just imagine it was possible to combine both of them…

(Google is so green! The Opel corsa consumes just 5,5 liter per 100 km, which is 43 mpg. Well, they just save money: 1,45 €/l in Germany equals 8,66 US$/gallon)
Google Maps realtime
Yes, we are waiting for real time surveillance via Google Maps. Nice vid, 😉
via Jonah, thx!
Goggle Map marker pixel style

Nice Google Map marker in pixel style at RCA Show London. I wonder to what zoom level the pixel size is adjusted. Creator? See also my Map project.

Thanks for mentioning to me, Sascha.
