Ich bin und bleibe ein Microblogging Fan. Und tumblr schließt für mich die Lücke zwischen Twitter und diesem Blog. Außerdem ist es einer der finsteren Seiten des Webs, Und die hat mich schon immer interessiert. Ist also nicht immer #nsfw hier …
Des Moines Tribune, Iowa, September 7, 1960
When you go out into the woods and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying, ‘You’re too this, or I’m too this.’ That judging mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.

Wir haben uns im Kapitalismus so richtig schön eingeschissen. Und es findet sich niemand, der uns die Windel wechselt.
Warum gibt es keine Stiftung Schreiben?
Ich mag die Stiftung Lesen. Lesen ist enorm wichtig für mein Leben gewesen. Analoges Lesen, digitales Lesen, egal. Alles, was ich weiß, habe ich irgendwann gelesen. Ich bin Literaturwissenschaftler. Die Stiftung Lesen müsste erfunden werden, gäbe es sie nicht. Aber die Zeiten haben sich geändert. Wir alle haben die Möglichkeit jederzeit zu lesen. Inhalte sind ubiquitär verfügbar. Aber wir alle…

Tianjin Binhai Library by MVRDV + Tianjin Urban Planning and Design Institute
MVRDV in collaboration with local architects TUPDI has completed the Tianjin Binhai Library, a 33,700m2 cultural centre featuring a luminous spherical auditorium around which floor-to-ceiling bookcases cascade. The undulating bookshelf is the building’s main spatial device, and is used both to frame the space and to create stairs, seating, the layered ceiling and even louvres on the façade. Tianjin Binhai Library was designed and built in a record-breaking time of only three years due to a tight schedule imposed by the local municipality. Next to many media rooms it offers space for 1,2 million books.

Wirklich hübsche und praktische Idee. Kann auch jederzeit neu gestaltet werden. Einfach die Dosen wechseln, fertig.

Nach ungefähr 25 Jahre Karriere habe ich heute festgestellt, dass ich gar kein Berater bin, schon gar kein strategischer. Ich bin Kreativer.

aus meinem neuen buch “blautöne”
For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.
