A Smart Guide To Utopia – 111 inspiring ideas for a better city
Cities are the affirmation of civilisation and human inventiveness. They are at once fragile organisms in constant need of care and battlegrounds of conflicting interests. And above all, they’re ours. The smart guide to Utopia showcases 111 projects, initiatives and ideas from all over Europe that make our cities better places. Whether it be an underground waste disposal system in Barcelona or a public swimming pool converted into an arts centre in Berlin, a self-sufficient urban garden or a solar-powered pop-up restaurant traveling with the sun, a building printer or a zero-packaging supermarket, this book celebrates the energy and imagination of people who want to make their cities a little more fun, clean, friendly, green and above all, restore a sense of community. Our cities belong to us, and they depend on us. Only we can make them worth living in.

PLAY
The videos on COMPILER*04—Replay evince and reflect on the creation of versions and remixes, the use of found footage, and the reinterpretation of past events and artefacts. The backdrop to this production is the mass dissemination of tools able to modify digital images and sounds, the sheer infinite availability of online source material, and the carefree deployment of these means and methods by dedicated amateurs.
The growing tendency among amateurs, to pursue image manipulation, simulation, and remix and sampling techniques, plus the accelerated dissemination and remodification of such aesthetic practices (and the products that ensue) in Internet sub / cultures, throws new light on the contemporary as well as the historical deployment of these same practices in the art world, particularly on their deployment by artists active also within Net-based cultures.
A role is played thereby not least by paradox, for a creativity im- perative is inherent to contemporary consumerist culture—the Sony slogan “Be creative!” spells this out clearly—yet this imperative (which is intended also to foster the much-vaunted user-generated content), implicitly requires users to steer clear of any material for which those who voice it happen often to hold copyright…
Of course, the phantoms of emphatic concepts of authorship and originality are still among us.

Interview #4 (DE). Mai 2012
Diesen Monat in INTERVIEW:
Die Schauspielerin Keira Knightley sieht für sich keine Chance, US-Präsidentin zu werden, und plädiert für Ahnungslosigkeit beim Kinobesuch. Im Gespräch mit David Cronenberg erzählt sie vom Dreh zu ihrem neuen Film „Anna Karenina“, was der Filmemacher sich mit wachsender Eifersucht anhört: „Ich kann die Vorstellung, dass du mit anderen Regisseuren arbeitest, nur schwer ertragen.“
Die neue Documenta-Leiterin Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev fordert im Gespräch mit der Hundetrainerin Maike Maja Nowak ein Wahlrecht für Hunde. Die Filmproduzentin Minu Barati spricht mit Katja Riemann über ihren Flötenunterricht auf der Waldorfschule. Und die Musikerin Lydia Lunch erklärt ihrem Kollegen Alec Empire, dass sie sich wie ein schwuler Trucker fühlt.
Der Rolling-Stones-Gitarrist Ronnie Wood erzählt Naomi Campbell, dass er erst im Entzug gelernt hat, wie man Wäsche wäscht. Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough berichtet seinem alten Freund Joey McIntyre von den New Kids On The Block, wie glücklich er war, als ihm ein Fan in den Schritt gegriffen habe – es sei der Rock’n’Roll-Moment seiner Karriere gewesen. Ein ganz anderes Erlebnis hatte beim Künstler Martin Eder schwer wiegende Folgen: Wie er dem Kurator Thomas Girst erklärt, schlug ein Meteorit in seinem Garten ein.
Die Jungs aus der MTV-Serie „Jersey Shore“ haben sich von Terry Richardson mit dem israelischen Supermodel Bar Refaeli fotografieren lassen. Schauspielerin Jessica Alba erzählt Regisseur Robert Rodriguez von ihrem neuen Leben als Chefin eines Vertriebs für umweltfreundliche Baby- und Haushaltsprodukte. Und die Sängerin Norah Jones erklärt, dass sie ihr Hit-Album „Come Away With Me“ gern vom Markt genommen hätte.
