Video installation by German artist Ursula Damm. The artwork uses a self-organizing network to process video footage from the Aeschenplatz, Basel. It also depicts the flow of traffic from a computer’s perspective. 6 min. preview of the 1h5 minutes video.
The art of Pip & Pop consists of a very varied and amusing collection of materials, which are combined to form always new fairytale worlds. Sweets, sand, pigment, artificial plants, origami, found objects, modeling clay, beads, wire, sequins, glitter, polystyrene, pipecleaners – all is in use. A visit of their exhibitions might be similar to using psychedelics, marijuana, and other stimulants.

Vince Hannemann a.k.a. the Junk King has spent much of his life constructing the Cathedral of Junk in Austin, TX. Since 1989 he has been collecting thousands of discarded objects and turning them into a giant outdoor installation. In 2010, the City of Austin requested a building permit and Vince was forced to tear down nearly half of his creation, 60 tons of materials before finally obtaining the approval from an engineer. Despite this traumatic event and with the help of many supporters, Vince was still able to keep the Cathedral alive and continue its legacy. The Junk King is directed by Evan Burns.
Incredible »Comfort« series by the Switzerland based multi-disciplinary studio L/B Lang Baumann. The two artists experiment with inflatable architectural interventions. This consecutively numbered work features large scale tubes that are placed in windows and other objects like the broken, aged and well-weathered cars of a junkyard.

Kind of sustainability report: What happens to our garbage after it is picked up? In fact french artist The Wa has an answer. After six weeks collecting, he created a fantastic installation made of waste produced during the Dockville Festival in Hamburg. No idea about the tertiary exploitation.
