One of the best moments in my concert history was visiting the second last show of LCD Soundsystem at BigDayOut Festival in Melbourne/Australia last year. At this point it was clear that the band will split and for us it should be the first and the last chance to see them live. For their last concert they chose New Yorks Madison Square Garden and produced the documentary “SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS” around the whole event with nice background pictures of James Murphy and the band. Watch the trailer above. Down there are 2 screenshot from clips I made in Melbourne.
Nico produced a very nice short for ASVOFF 2012 competition. I love to see him develop his work and unique style. Looking forward…
I love this little short by Matthew Frost for french fashion magazine Jalouse. Matthew is also responsible for several music videos for M83 like Graveyard Girl and Teen Angst.

Morning will come,
And I’ll do what’s right;
Just give me till then
To give up this fight.
Lately I did a little Reedition of a video I took last year. It was shot in the backyard of Dresden based art duo Sutter & Schramm. I really liked the first edition but it was to shaky because i shot it handheld back than. Now -with new techniques in postproduction I managed to finally stabilize it and get a much better result. Love it.

I´m happy that I finally found the time during the christmas holiday to concentrate on the Inside Job documentary about the financial crisis from 2008. I never really understood what was going on there – to complex was the system of credits, swaps etc.. and I still don´t understand it properly.
But this documentary helps me to see what is going on in this very far world of banks, insurance companys, lobby groups and political power. Narrated by Matt Damon it´s a very good researched story with a lot of the most important players in this game. You get insights into the context and structures of the financial market and it allows you to conclude for yourself about your attitude towards the whole system.
Thanx for sharing this free documentary. Now it´s our turn to spread it. At least it is the simplest thing we can do – to inform and be informed. And as the last sentence of the film says: “It won´t be easy – but some things are worth fighting for.”
Saul Williams explores the Catacombs of Paris for La Blogotheque. I`m in love with this format from the first day I found it a couple of years ago. The rough shooting, the dirty pictures, the natural unplugged sound combined with special locations. It proofs that an interesting content battles the technical execution. In this case it makes it even more cool because it fits to the underground style of the catacombs. See more LaBlogotheque videos here.
Some more educational videos from when MTV was still cool. I love the commercials in between.
Coincience in the yard. For me one of the best pics on Streetfiles this year. Always and Forever by the amazing Streetbrother. BigUp to Emmet, Stefan Kaz, Movel, Sultan, Health+, Ueberdose, Almut, Upstruct, Michi, Hausburger and all the other photographers in the game. Thanks for your efforts to keep the quality high and our daily dose of inspiration. One Love.
I met Dustin Schenk on my way to the office when the boys climbed up the scaffolding to draw their first outlines on the empty firewall in Neukölln. Since I always wanted to do a little series about illustrated Berlin firewalls I was asking him to hang out with them the next days and collect some pictures for a little story. Watch Dustins page to see more of his work and Finding Berlin for more pictures of other walls in Kreuzberg.
Finally I made it to watch the Press Pause Play documentary you´ll find above. It summarizes the changes of the last 20 years that came along with Digitalisation. It´s great to see the impact technical changes can have on culture and society.
For me it speaks right out of my soul because I feel part of this new democratised class of digital creatives that earn their money with a business model you couldn´t even imagine before 5 years. Things still change and they also will in the future. But the change we are living in right now is one of the biggest changes on culture we ever had. I´m excited to be part of it and curious of what comes tomorrow and which role we play on this path.

We waited a long time for this. And now the episode about Karen and Christian Boros is finally online at Freunde von Freunden. This art collector couple is living in Mitte at the roof of an old bunker with it´s own exibition space downstairs. It´s amazing to get an insight into some art collectors thoughts and into the amazing private space of the bunker. The video was made by my office colleague Maren Sextro and Christian Fussenegger. Big Up for the work.
