walking westwall

12 of us plus designer and artist friends from belgium, rumania and the netherland did an art performance as part of the city of Aachen's across the borders festival. The Walking Siegfried Line. Luckily overcome in minutes by the Allies, the Westwall is one of the most obscure WW II borders. It's a very visual and physical barrier, but on foot you can walk through it without hesitation. We'll make it block the city's shopping streets. It's all about barriers in our heads.

blind date - an event concept for matching people

Lately me and Patricia of designmetropole aachen have been busy developing a concept for Gründerzentrum Kulturwirtschaft: A series of events to match creatives with industrials, researchers and public authorities.
In pitch dark.
No status symbols, no powerplay gestures. Just your voice. Direct. Personal. And listen well!
We believe in sympathetic interpersonal contacts. They last longer and are more profound than pure target oriented biz meets.

Tonight's the night for blind date #1. Here's a first impression:
