Fractions of Truth

For AWWs interaction with the government-

by Skypeing over the Internet, talk to foreigners he breaks the commitments he had to make.

In the very worst case, he might get executed as an exempel- I don’t believe they actually set him free without anypunishment if he really did break the law so severely as he wants to make most westeners believe.

What will happen after he got killed?

What is chinese law saying about his failures?

Contemporary hogwash

Oh dear,

why must it be me?  I am very unfond of contemporary art in general and Ai Weiwei in particular. Yet, my mind is set on writing that thesis paper on his tea house (2009). Now I am in the midst of finding out what that transcultural chitchat actually means. I look forward to the day when I can respond in a sonorous voice to people talking in their pig latin about theories they did not grab as a whole, applying this gibberish on very ugly media-performed-cyberesque-intertrans-postgender-postcolonial-postmodern art…

Here I will collect several basic theoretical works on the structure behind contemporary art… (and how to deconstruct all the hot air around it!)

Neues aus Dahlem

Um meine geneigten Leser auf dem Stand der Dinge zu halten, zähle ich kurz auf, was aktuell so passiert.

  • Ich bin seit dem 10.06.2010 um 10a.m. studentische Hilfskraft an meinem Institut! 😀 Knapp 18 Stunden habe ich schon gearbeitet, und Mitte Juli regnet es Geldscheine vom Senat direkt auf mein Konto! 😀 😀
  • …deshalb muss meine Mitgliedschaft der FSI OAKG neu überdacht werden. Es muss zB. noch eine „Nachfolge“ gesichert werden sowie zB. der Erstitag langsam geplant werden.
  • Derzeit belege ich im ABV-Rahmen eine ZEDAT-Fortbildung zu MS Access, Project und SPSS.
  • Ich musste eine Prüfungberatung absolvieren und hochheilig versprechen im SS2011 meinen B.A. abzugeben… 加油加油!
  • …im Rahmen dessen sollte ich überlegen, wie ich meinen Post-B.A.-Studienplatz sichere, am Besten mit einem Stipendium o.ä. gesichert…
  • Am 01.07. werde ich meine Präsentation zu Willie Bester halten. Ohje! Und ich hab noch nichts getan…

Bachelor thesis

in order of accepting the idea on getting my BA wasn’t too bad after all, i finally decided to make up a schedule of ALL courses i have visted during the last (fruitful, beloved, erudite) 7 semesters. first, why didn’t i start this earlier? second, i found out i started writing papers just during the last semester; before, i took every course as a lecture. i loved it that way, but it might get me into bureaucracy trouble.
