A singular achievement

Dagmar Woyde-Koehler has suceeded in transfering OUBEYs pictures from the old analog world to the new digital world.

This is a singular achievement“, said Professor Peter Weibel, director of theZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, in his opening address at the 5th Anniversary of the OUBEY MINDKISS Project.

The sweeping arch of associations he raised in his speech was as enthralling as it was surprising and ranged from a Shakespeare sonnet to the radio experiments of Heinrich Hertz and the finite nature of our solar system.

Beauty is more than Facade

Recently I was invited to take part in a panel discussion at the European Forum Alpbach in the Tyrol. This place has the reputation of being “the most beautiful village in Austria”. I used one of the breaks to take a stroll around the village and take a closer look at it, and to my astonishment I saw that each house looks exactly like all the others – a stone ground floor painted white and the upper floors built of dark wood with balconies and each street-side balcony decorated with a profusion of red geraniums in full bloom. Never before had I seen such uniformity in any town or village. It was fascinating but also strange at the same time. And I began to wonder whether such rigorous conformity really could be beautiful.
