About my Homepage(:)

Back to the Future..
Zeitreisen in die 90er, Yeah.
Iterm - alias terminal befehle eingeben bzw suchen und dann eingeben..
Was für ein Drama..
Wozu das Ganze? Datenbank Upgrade.. von Mysql 5.7 zu MariaDB 10.0.
Mein Wordpress hat rumgemeckert dass ich noch eine alte Datenbank benutze und meinte ich soll sie upgraden. Nun also die Hilfeseiten von Strato konsultiert und gelesen und geraten..
Step für Step.. Ein Schritt probiert.. einmal Fehlersuche anfangen.. Lesen, lesen, lesen.. bis es klappt.
Letztlich hat es dann doch geklappt nachdem man alles bereit hatte..
also ssh client zum Laufen gebracht, richtige Datenbank, richter User, richtiges Passwort.. Auslesen, Neue DB anlegen..
neuer User, neue DB und neuer Host und neues Passwort..
dann alles wieder einlesen und
dann auch noch die PHP Datei runterladen, ändern & hochladen.
Es hat funktioniert..erstaunlicherweise!

Was für ein Müll.. Ehrlich.. Strato hätte das längst im Hintergrund einfach mal machen können.. einmal im Jahr evtl.. einfach so.. per Service und Script..
anstatt die "normale" User vor unlösbaren Aufgaben zu stellen.
Ehrlich nach so einer Erfahrung kann ich nur abraten Wordpress bei Strato zu hosten.
Die Warscheinlichkeit dass man aus seinen Fehlern nicht mehr rauskommt besteht hier sicher zu 99%.

Body Painting and Bondage Play Ritual Altar in our

Body Painting and Bondage Play Ritual Altar in our Art Room Project for the Castle Burn „Back to the Bear“.
„The Art Experience Saloon“ was a stage, a living room and our cozy place full of Balloon art and magic.
The joined forces and ideas formed a group of 8 people to get this realised.
To bring in a bit of tension we did saturdays to a bit more kinki art experiences…
a body painting session.. full body painting
the process of doing and get painted by multipke persons at the same time.. is for sure an very intense feeling..
b) a bondage photo shoot experience..
full attension on focus ….
to share the idea.. we share a few pictures from the room and setting..

Her paintings discusses the area between art and sex and money. That was quite interessting.

Last steps, last writings and gifts to the burn, the burn of the temple, sunday sept at 2014.
David Best gave instructions and talks and recommendations about his view on his designed temple. Amazing artwork and what a gift and how will it feel when this work of art which take years will now soon get to fire in a few hours and burn to ashes in another 2-3 hours.
People at burning man are so into this meaningful process that they bring what is really touching..
For me this was the most important moment while I was on a burn till I burned my own temple.

For the non planned performance of Zarahlena I was at the end very exhausted and could not really breath while I took the pictures.. and this holding the breath was also kind of the projection on the floor which I tried to bring into the art together with an artist. The art installation opened up with the quote: „Inspired by Dr. Sophie Scott’s The Neuroscience of Laughter and a passion to joyously-confuse-and-include audiences, we invite people from all backgrounds, age groups and communities to creatively come together.“ and this is what we have done.. a spontaneous performance reflecting on the art we have seen.$

@dereal.studio with a project

In the spectrum of photography and painting I assu

In the spectrum of photography and painting I assume that a portrait of a body painting I did is somewhere in the middle between both.
I usually wait a long time till I review and take my time to see and look deeper into the painting, rethink what I done .. what I can see now.. what would I have changed..
but I like what I see.. it is strongly talking to me.
The challenge is that a body painting did not allow you to take more then 1 hour to finish the painting.
So I start with not knowing anything and hope that the flow will provide me enough fantasy to express something.. to calm down and take the time to see and talk and do.. whhile the clock is ticking.

Can you imagine that some people get this style tattooed on their body..There is a community into this kind of style - they call it "Kritzel Kratzel".

Thanks for my model @miss_bosetti for the trust and patience and the time..

Temple of Patience I struggle already so long on

Temple of Patience

I struggle already so long on how to continue with this painting.. It is like fighting against myself.. should I burn it or continue..
I want it like a prayer.. like a cage not sure if I am inside or outside..
and so i added today a more transparent layer on it which is a strange effect as it it close to invisible.. but with light and looking from the side it shows very bright, reflecting the light..
Now to finish today I made a few photographs with my phone on various parts and show some details..
as actually I am mostly interessted indeed in the patterns..
The patterns are speaking to me and gives me satisfaction while I am not really interessted in the overall composition..
but when it shows the 3 d effect of various layers.. if you get confused with all the lines.. and strikes..
if the colors are close to really visible..
your brain has enough food to start a journey.
to meditate..

the starting point of this painting was in june 2024 with pictures I made with my model Jin ... laying on the first 3-4 layers of the painting..
It was called "Patience".. Maybe because of this.. the painting did not want to get ready..

I sometimes try software to produce some pictures.

I sometimes try software to produce some pictures.. Like this one 1 year ago.. This is to see the development of the results just by waiting a bit and use same commands.
Inspiration was a photography i made and put in as the starting point.

I liked the result but I still have the feeling that my personal impact on the result is too small.. it takes too long to find a satisfying result.. and the machine-human interface is too poor.
Lets assume to have an interface which could detect my finger and arm movements.. where my eyes are looking on.. the sound I am making and so on..
and a keyboard for colors and brushes..
then I would feel the freedom of expression which is not only a replica or mosaic of stolen artworks but something which will be created newly in a cooperation..
like a musician or DJ using autotune...DJ software..
The reason that this does not yet exist is that within music there is so much more money washing and laundry..

To see is a pattern matching process in which your brain tries to find similar pictures and objects and the likelihood to find a cognitive connection into your inner world model.
this process gets distorted by most drugs, age, illness, stress and other distortions..it narrows down the resulting options.

meditation on abstract art is a training for that process, to widen the options, to add more possibilites..to let this process actively circle and play as a game, as joy..

similar to Brian Enos music..

you see, we all need a spiritual place to talk to our inner voices of doubt and despair and we found a place in the outer playa.

burn of our altar at "zum brennenden bären" in ma

burn of our altar at "zum brennenden bären" in may 2022 in Beesenstedt.
The altar was a closed post box in which you could put in tiny small letters in one way and not bring them out again..
the exit was the burn.. at that point the delivery was instant all over the world and future and past at a glimpse of that moment..
you can see this postbox at the top of our burning bear as its hat..:-)
That was not so easy to place it at that position while the bear was already burning heavily..:-)
fuck it.. - YOLO and safety third…

Tempelburn in small. We wanted something valuable

Tempelburn in small. We wanted something valuable representing the temple and the spirit to be burned. We decided we will make a letterbox out of the bamboo, the ropes we used for the model of our temple and some wood from a tree in Berlin which was broken in last years storm. An altar which will deliver its collected postings, wishes and … in tbe dance of the fire immediatly. Release to immediacyis not a recipe and will not really help but can support in difficult times to do what is required and is a rope to put a hand on in difficult times..
The burn was such a nice ceremony which was done by a group of 5 people to represent each of the 5 elements, walking slowly around the burning baer, while Storm Or played so nice and breathing like clarinet and Anke uses a gong to slow down everything. With the fire we got a beautiful sound and at that moment I put the altar just on top of the burning bär to be burned too. What a magique moment 05.15.22..
The nice photography was done by Robert Lutz, Manolo Ty and Axel Vetter.

Temple of Now roof night view. An architecture all

Temple of Now roof night view.
An architecture allows so many different views on a construction and piece of art which really pushes me to capture all these views and wanted to share these. What you see is the roof with the 5 elements of earth, water, air, fire and life. As you see 5 is a complicate prime number, very much outstanding in its own and difficult to capture it. Even if we do have 5 in our biological system it is not completely true as the thumb is not really similar to the other fingers and can be seen as something own. It was always our intension that the wind will blow a bit to get the clothes constantly moving to support the meditation with looking at these.
the collboration with a lot of people who contributed to this should also open our eyes into diversity….

I hope a temple counts as architecture too 🙂 but of course only the option to open up some people to a more spiritual burn and experience was our intention. the intention to release issues ir broken wishes and get the energy to life and enjoy this human experience more in the now.

We need something to be burned from the temple and so we build a small temple within the temple out of wood and jute only…
the intention is that this will work as a postbox gor letters and we will burn this too with the effigy burn

Psychedelic Society Berlin @ The Art Experience Zo

Psychedelic Society Berlin @ The Art Experience Zone Rigaer Strasse:
Well well that was a ride yesterday with so many motivated artists from the psychedelic society berlin. a 6 hour ride through colors and experiences and let go inner blockings to free up our inner creative child.
30 square meter we got painted yesterday with the elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Live. The temple clothes are therefor now ready for release 2 of our beloved Temple of Now project. We will build the temple in Beesenstedt next week - yeah.
A big thank you for all who supported this to really have a temple of peace, love and art.

Things are happening. Started a new painting today

Things are happening. Started a new painting today with the topic: Earth. I got the impression that I wanted to paint a cave, something dark, the death: Charon ( Χάρων ) has the duty on Ἀχέρων to bring its passengers with a ferry to the kingdom of Hades.
Rumor telled me, I heared (without guarantee) that nowadays you might need to pay this guy with an artwork you created to make the world a better place or your good karma account. A temple coin from this temple once gifted with your emphatic heart, not expected anything in return, to a fellow burner might also be good enough and will be accepted too, I negociated. Money as in every good burn is worthless and will not be accepted.

Painting exersice at parts of our beloved Burn ZBB

Painting exersice at parts of our beloved Burn ZBB in may for the Temple of Now for the water spike..
painting is like hiking not knowing where you walk and how and what you will see and where you will end. Somehow you start with an empty mind…..
Did you know that water which flows can get to a point where the flow changes immediatly from laminar into a turbulent flow which introduces time and entropie into the world like if god would roll the dice.
Mathematically the formulas of the flows of the water do not change at all but it will get impossible to predict the process over a longer period anymore. you have to deal with chaos. Chaos is like a new dimension and a metamorphosis for data like the fire for elements.
