Weil’s so schön ist, schreib ich auch nochmal drüber:
Im Jahr des 23C3 wird der zweite Zwergplanet Eris getauft. Wie die Göttin des Chaos und der Zwietracht. Nix Xena oder so; Eris heißt der neue Zwergplanet, der neben Pluto wohnt und wohl Auslöser für den Streit um selbigen war. Paßend dazu wurde ihr Mond gleich nach einem ihrer Nachkommen in Dysnomia umbenannt.
Na, da freut sich doch der Diskordier! Da sag ich: Willkommen im Universum!

Sure, I’m not the only one fascinated by dots: Yayoi Kusama‘s Installation “Dots Obsession” (until 3rd of october at Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin) is really cool. I really really like it.
She received the Praemium Imperiale this year and seems to have some sort of pathologic hallucination-thing going on since she was young.

Yayoi Kusama said about her painting titled “Flower” in 1954:

“One day I was looking at the red flower patterns of the tablecloth on a table, and when I looked up I saw the same pattern covering the ceiling, the windows and the walls, and finally all over the room, my body and the universe. …”

Walking through her installation is quite spacy – a bit like Alice in Wonderland: big balloons with white spots, the walls and floor the same. Huge mirrors make you feel the room is endless..

This years design of the CCC‘s Chaos Communication Congress (27th – 30th december, at bcc, Berlin) is inspired by scifi-classic Brazil and will be accompanied by the motto “Who can you trust?”. A first bit of 23C3 Congress Propaganda can be spotted on the 23C3 Congress Wiki.

The Call for Participation for the 23C3 deadlines tomorrow, so the countdown is running if you wish to participate with a talk. (Final papers or slides are due by November 15th, 2006)

I still love the old Pink Panther films with Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau. At the moment Henry Mancini‘s Main Theme won’t move from my head.

Yesterday I was asked where I got those Kickers for adults from. (They are normally known as kids-shoes with the red and green spot underneath, to identify left and right foot). I found them at Eisdieler, a berlin fashionlabel and shop, founded in 1995. The shop they started off with, was an old icecreamshop (german: Eisdiele) at Auguststraße, Berlin – so that’s where the name comes from. They have lots of other fancy things besides shoes and sneakers, e.g. juwelry from Mr. Powersaw, Bagjack-Bags and berlin fashionlabels like Gossip 67, Wild Spirit and other local streetwear. And for the kickers-shoes, I’m sure you can get them at other places too.

Der Chaos Computer Club wird am 12. September 2006 25 Jahre.
Chaos Radio Express ehrt diesen Geburtstag, mit einem interessanten und kurzweiligen Rückblick. Peter Glaser kann aber auch wirklich gut erzählen.
