Hat jemand eine Ahnung, was eigentlich mit der Webseite der Frankfurter Rundschau los ist? Designmässig ein Horror, mehr Werbung als Berichte, übertriebene white space, Kategorien fehlen. In den 1990er hat man besseren Webdesign gehabt als das hier. https://www.fr.de/

Seven Apps. One Craft.
Have you worked with it? An opensource visual and graphic suite written in Rust.
I'm about to try it out. With all my knowledge of Adobe Suite since around 20 years, I wonder what does Craft can.

If you'll watch the public execution of Nidal Hasan, the blood will last on you hands, eyes and heart for the rest of your life. Whatever crime he committed. You'll commit crime by watching it. You'll be not better than him or than mob back to dark medieval age. There is absolutely no excuse.

"Artificial Intelligence" is an unperfect term, but for me it'll remain AI so far. "Super intelligence" is a stupid boasting misleading narrative, even more malicious than "AI". Calling it "SI" proves the lack of digital competence (surprise surprise).

As an artist.

The final paragraph evokes the powerful art experience 0°N 0°W by Colorfiction, which I explored in an essay several years ago.

How peculiarly these topics come together in a melancholic melody of Mnemosyne!

It later became the European headquarters of the CIA, and finally a building for the Faculty of Humanities at Frankfurt University, where I worked and studied. The lift is a Pater Noster, a rare historical apparatus which is still in use. Marina Abramović is also present in my texts.

I wrote about the IG Farben House Building in Frankfurt, which was once the headquarters of the sinister company IG Farben, responsible for the terrible Zyklon B gas.

Is it a utopian city with laser glow and rain-soaked streets, or perhaps an abandoned gas station at sunset, where the only sound is the somber strain of Erik Satie’s Gymnopédies? / Personal note: This text contains a lot about my writing.

In my imagination, I see door after door, each one leading into a new reality, like those at 0° north latitude, 0° east longitude. What lies behind them?

@merzmensch.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 5:37 PM

I think of the elevator in the IG Farben building, where Marina Abramović’s visitors were transformed by her power of light. And I wonder whether the clock on this tower possesses a similar power, capable of slowing down or accelerating our lives with every tick.

@merzmensch.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 5:37 PM

But I stop at the entrance, enchanted by the infinite possibilities lying beyond the stone façade. What secrets are hidden within its walls? Which doors lead to worlds both familiar and unfamiliar?

#MERZpoet presents:

A story from Merzmensch's Latent Spaces.

/ Title: Gymnopédies
/ Genre: FREE
/ Text:

The clock on the tower is waiting for us, its hands frozen in time, while we hurry past, my feet carrying me farther and farther away from the hour’s mark.

Learning app #Vibe町: Small update. Now you can change the level of communication with NPCs: from short and easy mode to the complex explanations of Japanese culture, like here he explains what is "Angura" - Japanese underground subculture between dadaism and fluxus with focus on experimental theater

@merzmensch.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 5:35 PM

Wunderbar!

Ein verlorenes Tagebuch, das ich 1987 in einem russischen Wald fand.
Späte Geständnisse.
Eine echte Geschichte über die Ethnologen-jagende Gänse, das Nicht-Töten der Fische, ein Imperium kurz vorm Zusammenbruch, Noosphäre und einen geheimnisvollen Fund.
