Textfiles of Desire @ Transmediale 2013 BWPWAP

Had the honor and the pleasure of contributing to this panel that took place today in Berlin's Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Was fabulous

Also it's a good excuse to feature this video here (again)

Haraway's Manifestos

I'm working on this beautiful text now by Donna Haraway called "the Companion Species Manifesto". Haraway, who in the 80's wrote the groundbreaking "Cyborg Manifesto", became at the turn of the millennium more and more interested in animals, and especially dogs. At some point she writes: "I tell stories about stories, all the way down. Woof."
How wonderful!

Luckily, both these texts are available online for free: The Old School Cyborg Manifesto (with the kick-ass ending "I would rather be a cyborg than a goddess") is here and the newer "Companion Species" one is here.

Feelings, by Simone/Dunietz

Finally there's a video of a proper performance of Maya's beautiful cover/homage/quote of Nina Simone's version of "Feelings". It was taken during Renana Raz's "YouMake ReMake" evening at Varda studio, Suzanne Dellal center.

Preparing the Catastrophe Clock

Here's a couple of videos I took yesterday when Maya and me installed the Catastrophe Clock at the Lunapark, for the festival that starts today. It works very funny there and I'm curious how the whole thing will be.
