here’s the next one, unfortunately the camera short-circuited the construction site’s power supply, so there’s not much to see from the night… anyway. further timelapses will follow. if anyone is interested in a special area which should be monitored, please let me know.

cheers

9 Videos depicting the 4 routes, and the 3 modes of transport (walking, riding, bahn) one can take to arrive at Rosa-Luxemburg Platz.

Here’s the pdf of the short lecture about the history of RLP on last friday. It comes with two remarks:

On the occasion of the 60ieth anniversary of the Federal Republic of Germany, there is a manifestation against state, nation and capitalism on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz (May 23rd, 6 pm). Motto: “Something better than the nation. Against the rule of the wrong freedom”. If you want to expirience the political atmosphere of the place, I guess this is your chance…

Info (german)

If you like it a bit more peaceful, on the first of June (Yes, the day we occupy the Cube and will probably be busy, but anyway) there is a guided tour through the Scheunenviertel following the track of Alfred Döblin and Joseph Roth, starting at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz at 2pm (fee: 7€, probably only interesting if your german is decent).

This ‘film’ attempts to show the entry/exits to/from and around Rosaluxemberg Platz.

The environment that surrounds our everyday flow through a city, goes beyond the shapes cut by buildings, train stations and streets though the urban format.  This study is trying to look beyond this by investigating the textures and materiality of the urban sprawl surrounding Rosa Luxembourg Platz.  Constructed through an abstracted collage of the surfaces of buildings, footpaths and green space, this study aims to map the diversity of the tactile environment surrounding the platz.  (If anyone would like the original AI file or 6 page pdf please let me know and I can bring it to class)
