one month of creative work (a parody with a message)
Remember: One month ago, 7.10.2008, Frank Amos opened a „Media Space Wiki“ for us curators. Now, after four weeks of intensive dispute and creativity, the team is ready with lots of suggestions.
I like to pick out the curator´s personal inventions for Media Space:
Burak Arikan
„If my pocket were the USA“
A story of a ruinous life, with fictionary receipts and orders
State: Burak has created all fictionary documents. He is refining the story behind them. He will need four meters on a wall. The movie will last about three minutes.
Category: Objects on the wall, website, and movie
Chris Mennel
„World trade airplane“
a media triology about sudden dramatic effects in a longtime growing credit system
State: The basic pictures for all three movies are composed, but there is space for improvement. Messages for the „pin wall“ are written. The interactive part is under construction.
Category: Media Installation
Marius Watz
„Images of turbulence“
Marius has prepared one of his visualisation programs to be handeld by public. He fills in given data material or even internet streams about the world wide financial situation. Visitors create pictures on the screen and can send them via e-mail.
State: The Installation works with given material already. Marius is still searching for filters that enable the online use.

Monica Nunez
„Rich ladies, poor ladies (and the female artist in the middle)“
A found footage montage of youtube videos with images of glam and ruin (yes, it has do do with actual events)
State: Monica has sampled lots of professional photos for that theme, made by female photographers. She thinks about twisting from the „youtube level“ to a pure photographic presentation. Her special idea is to use the whole bottom of Media Space for showing the pictures.
Category: Movie, and a hangout on the Wall, or - as a laminated „layout“ - on the bottom
Monika Jaeckel
„Puzzling the complexity“
A bilingual try to understand what happens in financial systems
State: Monika stopped trying to understand this f… system at all. She will prepare some material in a way that gives visitors a chance to start their own route of analysis.
Category: Presentation on six overhead projectors, on a wall and in the internet
Stefanie Reling
„World Trade Party“
a bar with rising and sinking prices for the drinks
State: Steffi has expanded her basic idea. For example there are „miracle bags“ - people can buy and don´t know what´s within them. „Derivates“ is printed on the bag´s outside. The event may need 2000 Euro of investment, but Steffi hopes to get all money back by selling the drinks and goodies.

Yuan Peng
„Bangin´´gainst reality“
a parade with stressed faces of important people
State: coming soon
Category: movie and website
Correct me, if I wrote anything wrong

Hmmmm, maybe you should have made it clear that this is a parody?
