Mercury

It’s been a while. From geniuses to artificial curtains to ancient rooms, filled with wires, screens and remainings from past days. This piece has been an itch inside my head, leaving me restless for almost 5 weeks. From now on things will feel different. Right now words fail me. They fall short and are lagging behind the great feeling of finishing something or the uncertainties of days to come. Maybe the guy or girl living in that room together with the cat has these thoughts, too.

thanks alot.

Inside, we gave each other headshots.
Everytime I think about it, time is standing still .. it’s like time travelling into the past. What if i had gotten too far? Would the world stand still when I play FarCry with my friends in 1890? Would have Robert given me the name, that I now use on the internet? I want to show the host’s cook how a microwave works. I want to see their surprised faces, illuminated by the glimmer of an old CRT. I want them to write their first Email on my keyboard. The “@” will be their new father. The King’s daughter will be impressed by my router and let me touch her mainboard. Please shut down your firewall and join my workgroup, because otherwise downloading the games won’t work. Counter Strike with lords and ladys.”

Folks,

After a while without creating stills, this may stand for a “revival”….but seems that’s not enough time passed to call that a revival. So – simply…..”still image, after more than 6 months!”.

technically jibba jabba:
c4d, vray, ae, ps, few weeks, disco, dance, yeah.

the “why?” question is answerable but hard to put in words.
I’d phrase it that way:
I have to reclaim my throne.
Following an odd constructed masterplan and trying to reach something hard to reach, with my friends (julian and angi) or alone.

well, yes.
that’s it.

Special Thanks:

About the Artwork “Genius”:

Tom Hanks wants to travel the moon. In 1970. Almost 20 years later the DNA of your parents combines with a band width of 1,687.5 Terrabytes per second. At the age of 6 you meet your most prudent and oldest friend.
You’re 16. Emily asks you in the break, if you could teach her the binomial series. Two years later at the college you teach the
art students about w3c. And while your gaze gets blurred, the music turns louder and the usual course of action gets more fluently,
a girl called Emily, that you seem to know somehow, is kissing your neck and massaging your cock. Emilys and your DNA combine with a
band width of 1,687.5 TerraBytes per second, while the Internet gets quicker and quicker the Bionet stays constant, just like your oldest friend,
whose language you learned 8 years ago.
It’s almost 2013. You will change the world, with or without me, while you are hiding in the trees.

“Dear inhabitants of the artifical curtain.
We’re glad to welcome you in complex 3 of the curtain and hope our bargain of hard- and software will settle your claims. Caused by the location and the classines of our establishment you have to obey some rules. Whatever happens behind the curtain, stays behind the curtain and always has to be inaccessible to the public. You got the possibilty to become a part of something big and change the world. Even if it’s not necessary to sleep in the curtain, because it’s circumvented by our simulators, we ask you to take a break every 24 hours for at least 3 hours. This saves our system and offers some time for updates and maintenance. Our team of technicans will get your body in touch with our system and calibrate it perfectly to ensure a smooth flow, so you’ll be able to accustom perfectly to our hardware. If you got any questions or any kind of wishes, don’t hesitate to contact us. NDAs and contact forms will be found in folder 6129, setup 12.
