Self help for a stagnating art scene caught between the will to be an influence on society and the realization that it is impotent in politics.
A piece that suggests the notion that the art institution is so ineffective, so wholly devoted to the obsolete, that one would need a special high-tech detector to tell if anything serious or substantial is going on there.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY SPACE OF YOUR SCREEN IS OCCUPIED BY ADVERTISINGS? ANYWAY, WHAT ARE ADVERTISING SPACES? WHAT DO THEY REPRESENT?
Using the nine default sizes most advertisings on the web use, this project is an attempt to make those spaces visible to all in a very simple and objective way.
This project is primarily influenced by the work of Mel BOCHNER called Measurement Room.

The idea is to build some sort of network collage from all sorts of stuff people will add to the page. At one moment the page should get more and more overloaded making it almost impossible to load.
Sir or Madam, I am not from this planet. It is time to re-invent the whole concept of Space Travel. Space Travel acts as a metaphor for consciousness and political transformation, it is also the essential notion on which the Autonomous Astronauts Association (AAA) is based. We really are planning to create new communities in Space and to evolve new communities on Earth. Each member of the AAA has their own reasons and desires, that's what the word "autonomous" means. It is not about joining the AAA, it is about forming a group for yourself. There are now many AAA groups around the world, but many of them are sleeping. This is a wake-up call!
Many cells of the Association of Autonomous Astronauts went into suspended animation for seven years, while the initial program of the heroes of the Five Year Plan was forgotten, or exploited by other agencies. There were problems attached to the initial structure of the AAA, firstly an over-dependence on a centralised cadre, secondly a shortage of funds, and thirdly some of us thought it was a joke. Humour can help us escape from gravity, but this is no joke, the Community Space Program is all about Community-Based Space Travel. That's where NASA and the Soviet Space agencies got it wrong. Space travel should be for one and all, not just for a scientific, or cultural elite.
The technological apparatus of space exploration is almost in the hands of the Richard Bransons of the world, but times have changed and in the seven years that have passed, we have at last learned how to use the Internet. There are now the possibilities of buying ex-Soviet space kit off Ebay, for example. Steven Hawking says we must leave this plan
