Having trouble embedding the video that goes with this submission. I’ve uploaded it to youtube, so i’ll just post the link in the meantime…

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

the account name is UrbanOccupationBLN, the password is <studiocode>berlin. the procedure is intuitive. be aware that uploading big files may take a while, it might be good to upload them from within the lan network of the university (e.g. adip department, or the computer pool in A316a, CIP Pool etc.).

to place a video in the blog you simply open the youtube site of your clip and copy the code you find under embed/einbetten (right hand side, next to the clip) to the clipboard (Ctrl + C). then, log into our blog, start a new post,  change to the HTML view of post editing (top-right of text area) and paste the code in there (Ctrl + V).

after that you can switch back to Visual view and enter your text etc.

Thanks a lot Martin, for spending your saturday afternoon making this blog work!

I’ve already mentioned the Fis-Broker website in class; here’s the exact link:

http://fbinter.stadt-berlin.de/fb/index.jsp

The site is really helpful, it features all kinds of downloadable maps of berlin: from the middle ages to the 80ies, from climatic data to social structures…

Searching the net for infos related to Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, I found an ‘association for the promotion of art and culture on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz’.

They have, among other things, annually invited artists to work on and about Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz. It might be of advantage to get in touch with them, although they seem to have been rather inactive recently. Here’s the link:

www.rosa-luxemburg-platz.net/rosa_luxemburg_platz_ev.html

Should I write them a mail or should we wait until we have a clearer idea about what to do on R.L.P.?
