“The most beautiful experience we can have is the sense of the mysterious.”
Albert Einstein
net.culture.space exhibits artistic works and projects that creatively and playfully lead you into a mysterious, fantastic realm of digital illusions. Through interaction and animation, these projects generate worlds of sounds and images that blur the boundaries between virtuality
and reality.
At the opening, the Cologne-based artist community LICHTFAKTOR invites all visitors to participate in an “active” installation that makes it possible to paint, write and draw with light. Anyone can participate; the important thing here is not technology, but creativity. The light paintings that are created will be displayed as a large-scale projection on the façade of the Leopold Museum – a good opportunity to express yourself to the inner city of Vienna! The workshop will be led by Jens Heinen.

Runtime: 10 December 2008 - 10 February 2009

Exhibition Opening: 9 December 2008 | 7. p.m. net.culture.space | quartier21/MQ (transeuropa) | Museumsplatz 1 | A-1070 Wien | Telefon: +43(0)732-7272-0 | www.netculturespace.at

Little Scratch, in collaboration with Lichtfaktor, has printed eight amazing images displaying the extraordinary art of light writing. Selected from 6 different collections, these images are already going down a storm, so hurry up and check them out on the website. There are only 25 editions of each image, all of which are signed.

Little Scratch in association with No New Enemies is presenting their first ever exhibition together called ‘A Little Scratch Xmas’.  Based in Brussels, Belgium, the exhibition will showcase many of the artists that Little Scratch work with and will include the brand new prints collection by Truly Design, Lichtfaktor and Alex Fakso. Murals will be especially created by Truly Design, Jair and Roa (a local artist from Ghent). On opening night there will also be live painting by Truly Design and an exciting performance of light writing by Lichtfaktor. Additional attractions include a live music set by Dark Matter, video projections, a Christmas market, hot wine and even bonfire treats.

The exhibition is being held at Mr Ego (Steenstraat 29 Rue Des Pierres, 1000 Brussles) and will open on Friday 12^th December 2008 from 16.00 to 21.00 (ish).  This event is being sponsored by Carhartt, Levis, Mr Ego, Jes, NNE, Ricard, and Modart.

Was sind die Wünsche einer Stadt? Was sagen die Wünsche einer Stadt über diese aus? Über ihre Bewohner? Ihre Vergangenheit, ihre Gegenwart und ihre Zukunft? Sind die Kölner Wünsche einmalig? Oder sind sie wie überall?

Diesen Fragen geht DRAMA KÖLN im Herbst nach. Unser wundersames Wunschmobil streift ab September durch die Stadt, um die Wünsche einzusammeln, die vor Ort akut sind. Seien sie banal oder existentiell - neugierig sind wir auf alles, was da kommen mag. DRAMA KÖLN lehrt die Kölner das Wünschen. Und wehe, alle sind wunschlos glücklich…

Hier die Bilder: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06. Thanks to Miss DUCKTANK.

Whoever checked longtime exposure on cameras already knows the basics of lightwriting. Picasso already worked out this technique in his way. It´s a simple but efficient photo- and animation-technique, which developed extremly within the passed decade. Darklight is the first international lightwriting festival, paying tribute to this virtual graffiti and urban space art . It´s our goal to ivite the most outstanding artists of this genre to Berlin for one week to hold workshops, jam-sessions and to organize an exhibition for the public. With the Darklight Festival we want to achieve new collaborations of experts, who know eachother only from the web, and give a support to this movement.
