The Stock is Rising

Very interesting project to attempt to levitate the Frankfurt Stock Exchange-

The Stock Is Rising is the latest project by artist Annika Lundgren and operates with the notions of collective willpower and how faith creates reality. Consisting of one internet based part and one live part, The Stock Is Rising aims to levitate the old Frankfurt Stock Exchange to drive out evil spirits. The online meditation begins on August 21, accumulating spiritual power for a month through the contribution of visitors from all around the world. This manifestation accumulates in a physical gathering in front of the building at Börsenplatz in downtown Frankfurt between 15.00 and 17.35 on September 21, where the Stock Exchange will be elevated in a final, collective effort. The financial sector’s use of, and faith in the index graph undeniably creates an economic reality for everyone, but the faith of a determined community of levitationists using a different set of values can also create an ethical and political reality. On the one hand; stock brokers frantically preoccupied with stocks, options and funds representing only a ficticious value. One the other; a group of people focusing their mental powers to challenge the way this system affects democracy. Which, after all - is the more absurd idea? The project is also a tribute to American activist Abbie Hoffman and his Pentagon-levitation during the protests against the Vietnam war in 1967. The Stock Is Rising is picking up where Hoffman left off.

In This Dark Wood

Elisabeth Tonnard did a project in which she had the first three lines of Dante's Inferno by different writers/artists. Simple, but beautiful. Paired with images of strangers at night [lost] in San Fransico

Impossible things

Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. - The Red Queen, Lewis Carrol

I am thinking of something. In fact, I’m thinking of something else. You can only think about something if you think of something else.

Mobile Research Station No. 1

Very interesting project I was involved with last summer in Berlin.
We each spent a week inside the Research Station and presented our findings together.

'In a wilderness at the heart of Berlin a strange apparition has landed. Simon Faithfull’s Mobile Research Station no.1 is a curious hybrid – half hi-tech Antarctic Research Station / half rusty-broken-dumpster. Using a standard building-waste container as its basis, the station nevertheless forms a luxurious designer-pod provided for an eccentric set of researchers. Rather than researching the frozen wastes of Antarctica or the moons of Saturn, the invited artist/researchers have begun their investigation into the surrounding wilderness and urban zones of uncertainty that still lie at the centre of Berlin. There initial findings and questions can be found in this blog as and when they happen.'
