Welcome (back) to the “fresh impress of the peoples republic”

Dear Familiy and FRIENDS,

this time:
the cabdriver who calls a friend,
the hidden three georges damm,
Shanghai’s (only?) solarpowered infopanel,
and pechakucha in beijing.

Arriving in chongqing, confusion was immediately on board of the bus. Some people exiting others stayed put..
where we at the right bus-station? 17 h o’clock.. we heard the boat was leaving at maybe 18h so we didn’t have much transfer time. Continue reading ‘sixth fresh impress of the peoples republic’

this time in the freshimpress:

leaving CAFA for a travel to Chengdu (Sichuan, central china)
bus, train, cab and riksja travelling
Mount emei , mushrooms
& the recycled mob

This time no pictures in the mail, forgot the connectorcable. Also my mobile phone rests in beijing so it’ll be a read-only- fresh impress.

Continue reading ‘fifth fresh impress of the peoples republic’

Dear Familiy and FRIENDS,

In order to stick with the topic first. My superbicycle, the one I won the second price with last week, has obtained the criteria to be exposed to a high level of maintainance skills.
To say it short… The chain broke! on my drive yesterday, in the last curve arriving late at my meeting, I heard something.

Continue reading ‘fourth fresh impress of the peoples republic’

Dear Familiy and FRIENDS,
Late BRAKING news. Kaspar just won the 2 price in the slow bicycling contest. Aim is to bike as slow as posiible … as long as possible without crossing the lines of the runningcourd. The excitement was in the air as the selection of racers where moving their bicycles to the start. And within 1 minute or so the first bicyclist disturbed her balance and she had to give up her performance.

So after winning a first selection round, price one little tetrabrick full of milk from the taiwanese sponsor, I thought that was the whole contest till the moment I got a phonecall late in the night. That next day I should prepare for the final CUP ! And yes. The number 1 Yitzel the boy with the ferrari-baseballcap won the first price: 5 liters of milk.

Next day though we decided to have breakfast together, cause I won a package the nestle frosties. Chinese version. Slowly i’m really showing that I can hold up to the chinese tempo!

Though i had to bring th ebike twice to the bicycle repair shop., crank so pedal was loose, and sattle came down,
my super bicycle is still an object of adoration, as you can see when my kazachstanian coach is showing of with it!

Next time some more serious matters. I keep it short this time. also the photo’s of the disk are difficult to interpret. I’ll try to fix that for the next fresh impression. Thank you for the reactions, makes me feel making anotherone next week.

Dear Familiy and FRIENDS,

oh it took me a little longer to write the second impression on my stay in Beijing.
troubled by a computer that doesn’t understand mandarin.
It also catched a cold just like me…
The cold design of the CAFA (Central Academy of Fine Arts) building reflects itself also in the temperature. Continue reading ‘second fresh impress of the peoples republic’

It is time to write about the first impressions of Beijing before it’ll be the second.
INDEED it is very impressive and I would like to share a couple of experiences.
like the fact that I arrived quiet easily to the second best fine art school of beijing
where my friend and proffesor Ming Leung has his office. Continue reading ‘first freshimpress from the peoples republic’

In order to achieve new sounds out of old instruments, the circuit bending principles are very appropriate. In this 2 weeks at Datenklang.de “s workshop, we’ve been looking into amplifiers, videoplayers, guitartuners, theremins and many more circuits.

Just look at the photos. Many thanks to Simos Lomverdos Gautier, Sophia Mavragani, Roar Lindberg , Martin Rüge, and of course to Christoph Klemke.

book now: such a inside electric experience!

Stichting de 4 koningen (non profit organisation the 4 Kings)

0 Comments Published by Administrator October 16th, 2006 in 4 koningen, news

Imagine to become a friend of the 4 kings, a non profit organization to support the work of revolutionary artists involved in sound, design and education.

WHAT DO THE 4 KINGS DO?

The 4 kings supply, manage and organize: infrastructure, goods and network for ARTISTS. Artist work to build up, extend or succeed the innovative and experimental level they need to share, try-out or express. The 4 Kings are not concerned for their reputation, image or status. In any case they help the artist reach their goal!

WHY SUPPORTING?

This organization establishes a platform for exchange of art, knowledge and social interaction by means of performances, exhibitions, symposia and workshops open to anybody and in many places of the world.

For example:
New sounds you’ll find in workshops like circuit bending as well as soundbikes or even in the urban architectural sound story >> the Xiloseum.
Become a friend of this non-profit organization and activate many more creative approaches towards the stimulating experiences of discovering sounds.

In NEW designs many re-use and recycle issues can be found. Sometimes trash needs only creative re-interpretation to become valuable. THAT is a very SUSTAINABLE goal in life. Let the 4 kings HELP. see also www.cradletocradle.com
WHAT DO I GET?

Get a look into the kitchen of many Artists and become highly fascinated. A Book with our newest inventions and a CD with the newest sounds together with 2 tickets to the next performance.
