...on a rooftop in Berlin
at one in the morning...

ended up with thirty people on olga's rooftop after golden disko ship concert at Ä bar, super-cool local hipster neuköln hang-out. beautiful show, lovely chatting with jas and all the sommercamp workshop crowd.

something about all the empty space around us though made me feel intensely dizzy and nauseous.
the roof was flat; about eight floors up, narrow; wet asphalt smell; someone had an accordion, the girl next to me was visiting from denmark to stay in an apartment her boyfriend's parent's just bought - maybe that increased my sense of vertigo. for someone who doesn't like heights I seem to spend a lot of time suspended mid-air in various dimensions.

ah well: just a small update on life in berlin this week.
not really doing this anymore; but a late-night chat in random moments can be fun.

weaving together all kinds of new dimensions in bridgeland, from my own micronation to the global bridge party, just wait til you hear all about it... soon!!!

Last days of summercamp, electrifiying the city of Ghent with 15 artists at timelab and vooruit.

Three... two... one... JUMP!


Bridge of Death


Menai Suspension Bridge

Something about all my current preoccupations converges in the above three videos. Finally realised while watching the Menai Suspension Bridge clip that the anchor element is seriously missing in my conception of bridges - all that being suspended and connection is there; but not the anchoring. hmmmm.
Definitely needs work - I need to be anchored too... chain me to the rocks!

The disintegration on giving the wrong answer to one of three questions is also resonating - especially when they are: well I won't spoil it for you; watch and see. Disappearing, dissolution; dissolving into the abyss...

and if I asked you to jump?

CitySonics Mons
26 June - 26 July 2009

'Musique du Pont Volant'
World Premiere Installation
Flying Singing Bridge

Co-Produced by CitySonics & Jodi Rose
Institut Supérieur d'Architecture de Mons
88 rue d'Havré 7000 Mons, Belgique

Crossing a city of sounds

For its seventh edition, City Sonics invades the city center of Mons with over thirty installations and environments. Once more, the festival questions sound and matter and listens to its stories about us and others, about here and there, about the sounds of the world and their sweet opposites.

In twelve locations, "indisciplinary" artists offer creations and dialogues with visitors of all ages and categories. This temporary enchantment of the city is poetic resistance against the dark planetary times that are upon us and the chaosounds that aggress us daily. Sound is a fantastic medium that addresses our body and senses: there is no need to be a music lover or contemporary art expert to enjoy these works of sound.

The path chosen by the sound pirates of City Sonics invites you on a stroll through space/time, created by these works in what becomes a space of permanent metamorphosis.
