Installation Philipp Geist Year of Germany in Brazil 2013/2014
Concept Time Drifts May 2014
At the end of the Year of Germany in Brazil 2013/2014, the artist Philipp Geist (Berlin, 1976)
develops two light installations in Rio this year; the first one on the world-famous Christ statue
(Cristo Redentor) and the other installation in the Santa Marta favela. For the installation the
artist presents artistic-liberal and poetic German and Brazilian themes and develops a building
and floor light installation of colored words and phrases in Portuguese, German, and in other
international languages. The installation deals with cultural characteristics and achievements of
both countries and visualizes the issues of time and space, volatility and presence in a free
artistic style. The two projects are in fact a double project which is combined. The installation
on the symbol of Rio and Brazil, the Christ statue, is recorded and projected onto the small
buildings and huts of the favela. The Christ statue, which has been built to protect the city and
the sailors, is symbolically projected on the shantytown, the favela, in a protective way. The
installation in the favela will be seen not only on a facade as a large cinema projection or as a
static image, but on several winding buildings, the roofs, the floor and on the steps. Thus, the
visitor becomes a part of the installation and can immerse into the projection and the light and
introduce himself. Chalk crayons are put out on the streets in the favela and the young and old
residents and visitors can write and paint words on the street, the ground, the stairs or even on
the house walls. The residents and several institutions should be addressed to submit words and
associations dealing with Rio, Brazil and Germany.
For the installation, which was shown at the Luminale in 2012, the artist Philipp Geist won the
German Lighting Design Award 2013 (Deutscher Lichtdesign-Preis 2013) in the category Light Art.
The series 'Time Drifts' is characterized by the complex and subtle way of visualizing various
currents and voices in cultural contexts and to provide institutions and visitors with the
opportunity of substantive participation: different personalities, visitors and institutions may be
addressed in advance and then contribute words and associations. Current and historico-cultural
topics are researched in advance by the artist and then integrated in a sensitive and subtle way.
The projection dismisses the use of screens, because concepts and associations are projected on
a large area onto the floor surface on several facades and in theater fog. Over the course of two
days, the installation can be seen on-site in the favela on May 15 and 16 and on the Cristo
Redentor on May 12 for a day.
Short, tall, young and old visitors can interactively participate in the installation by tracing and
adding words with colored chalk crayons available on the streets. Thus, over the period of the
installation, a carpet of words is evolved with terms that are contributed locally by the visitors
by means of the temporary and volatile 'medium' of chalk crayons. Philipp Geist develops in this
way a dialogue between the place, the visitors and his artistic work.
The concrete, tangible projection of the architecture and the static terms on the floor area
represents the facts and visible relics that are responsible for our understanding of history. The
transparent and volatile projection in the fog reminds us that part of the history can not be
preserved and that it is created in our individual imagination in a single moment. Words are
briefly visible as a metaphor for transience and then disappear again. This interplay of the
various text and image layers in the space refers to the location and the history/-ies of Brazil
and Germany and the cultural exchange between the two countries. The visitors themselves are
part of the installation: they dive into the large floor projection. In this way, different
perspectives and experiences of space are unified. Abstract passages which are created, then
overlapped and displaced by each other symbolize the constant changes in history, the passage
of time and the transience of existence. Even the understanding of the past is in the flux. The
modern writings and formations created on the computer establish a connection to the present
and the possibilities of today's technology and show that the perception of history and culture
depends always on the possibilities and constraints of the present.
'Time Drifts - Words of Berlin' is part of a series of installations, which has been shown in recent
years by Philipp Geist, and which are always re-developed site-specifically and adapted to the
local conditions: In October 2012, Philipp Geist showed the installation on the entire Potsdamer
Platz (public square) and the Kolhoff Tower and Renzo Piano Tower skyscrapers. In April 2012
the installation was shown at the Luminale in Frankfurt where it was seen by more than 40,000
visitors and thus the main project of the Luminale 2012. In 2011, Philipp Geist presented the
'Time Drifts' installation in Vancouver at the Jack Poole Plaza, as well as in Montreal on the
Place des Arts in 2010. The 'Timing' installation was shown at the 2009 Glow Festival in
Eindhoven. In the end of 2009, on the occasion of the birthday of the King of Thailand, 2-3
million visitors saw his facade installation at the royal throne in Bangkok. Other projects
include: 'Timelines' at the prestigious Pallazzio delle Esposizioni (Rome, 2007), 'Time Fades'
at the Cultural Forum of Berlin and 'Broken Time Lines' at the old spa Kurhaus Ahrenshoop
(Germany, 2008).
Geist's projects are primarily characterized by their complexity concerning the integration of
space, sound and motion images. His video mapping installations waive screens and transform a
wide range of architectures in moving, picturesque light sculptures which challenge the viewer's
perception of two- and three-dimensionality.

Arte de luz - Instalações de Mapeamento de Vídeo por Philipp Geist no Rio de Janeiro / Brasil
2014 no Cristo Redentor no dia 12 de maio e na favela Santa Marta nos dias 15 e 16 de maio de
2014
Instalação Philipp Geist Ano Alemanha + Brasil 2013/2014
Conceito Time Drifts Maio 2014
No final do ano Alemnaha + Brasil 2013/2014, o artista Philipp Geist (1976, Berlim) desenvolverá
duas instalações de luz no Rio; uma delas será exibida na mundialmente famosa estátua do
Cristo Redentor, e a outra na favela Santa Marta. Para a instalação, o artista traz temas teutobrasileiros
de maneira liberal-artística e poética desenvolvendo instalações de luz em edifícios e
no solo a partir de palavras e conceitos coloridos em Português, Alemão e em outros idiomas
internacionais. A instalação lida com as peculiaridades e realizações culturais de ambos os países
e visualiza as questões de tempo e espaço e de volatilidade e presença no estilo liberal-artístico.
Os dois projetos em questão representam um projeto duplo que é combinado. A instalação na
estátua do Cristo Redentor, como um símbolo do Rio e do Brasil, será gravada e projetada nos
pequenos prédios e barracos da favela. A estátua do Cristo Redentor, que foi erguida para
proteger a cidade e os marinheiros, será então projetada como um símbolo de proteção em uma
favela. A instalação na favela é visto não apenas em uma fachada como uma projeção grande de
cinema ou como uma imagem estática, mas em vários prédios sinuosos, em telhados, no solo e
nas escadas. Desta maneira, o visitante conseguirá ser parte da instalação e imergir e mergulhar
na projeção e na luz. Na favela, será distribuído giz para pintura de rua, e os moradores e
visitantes, tanto jovens quanto velhos, podem escrever e pintar conceitos na rua, no solo, nas
escadas ou até mesmo nas paredes das casas. Os moradores e diversas instituições serão
convidados a contribuir com conceitos e associações que representam o Rio, o Brasil e a
Alemanha.
Para as instalações apresentadas na Luminal em 2012, o artista Philipp Geist ganhou o
'Deutscher Lichtdesign-Preis 2013” (Prêmio Alemão de Desenho de Luz de 2013) na categoria
Arte de Luz. A série Time Drifts caracteriza-se pela forma complexa e sutil de visualizar várias
correntes e vozes em contextos culturais e de oferecer a instituições e aos visitantes a
oportunidade de participar: diferentes personalidades, visitantes e instituições podem ser
contatados antecipadamente para contribuir com termos e associações. Temas atuais, históricos
e culturais serão previamente pesquisados pelo artista e, depois, integrados de uma forma
sensível e sutil. A projeção é realizada sem o uso de telas porque conceitos e associações são
projetados, em grande estilo, sobre a superfície do solo, em diversas frentes e envolvidos em
fumaça. Ao longo de dois dias, a instalação estará em exibição em 15 e 16 de maio na favela, e
em 12 de maio, por um dia, no Cristo Redentor.
Visitantes jovens e velhos podem envolver-se na instalação e traçar ou adicionar palavras com
giz colorido, que será distribuído, e assim participar interativamente na instalação. Desta
maneira, durante a duração da instalação, será desenvolvido um tapete de palavras. As palavras
serão fornecidas, no próprio local, pelos visitantes usando o giz, um meio temporário e volátil.
Philipp Geist desenvolve assim um diálogo entre o local, os visitantes e seu trabalho artístico.
A área de projeção concreta e tangível da arquitetura e os termos estáticos sobre a superfície do
solo representam os fatos e as relíquias visíveis que compõem a nossa compreensão da história. A
área de projeção transparente e sumindo por dentro da fumaça lembra que parte da história não
pode ser preservada e que ela é criada na nossa imaginação individual momentaneamente.
Conceitos são brevemente visíveis, como uma metáfora para a transitoriedade e, logo mais,
desaparecem. Esta interação entre as várias camadas de texto e de imagens no espaço refere-se
à localização e a(s) história(s) do Brasil e da Alemanha e o intercâmbio cultural entre os dois
países. Os próprios visitantes tornam-se parte da instalação: eles imergem na grande projeção
do solo. Desta forma, diferentes perspectivas e experiências de espaço são unidas. Passagens
abstratas que são formadas, sobrepostas e suprimidas pela próxima simbolizam as mudanças
contínuas na história, a passagem do tempo e a transitoriedade da existência. A compreensão do
passado também está no fluxo. As fontes e formações modernas criadas no computador
estabelecem uma conexão com o presente e com as possibilidades da tecnologia de hoje: a
percepção da história e da cultura sempre dependende das capacidades e limitações do
presente.
'Time Drifts - Words of Berlin' faz parte de uma série de instalações, que foram apresentadas
durante os últimos anos por Philipp Geist e que são sempre redesenvolvidas para as condições
locais específicas: em outubro de 2012, Philipp Geist exibiu a instalação em toda a praça
Potsdamer Platz (Berlim) e nos dois arranha-céus Kolhoff Tower (Berlim) e Renzo Piano Tower
(Londres). Em abril de 2012, a instalação foi apresentada no evento da Luminal em Frankfurt
onde foi vista por mais de 40.000 visitantes sendo o principal projeto da Luminal de 2012. Em
2011, Philipp Geist mostrou a instalação Time Drifts na praça Jack Poole Plaza em Vancouver
bem como em Montreal, Canadá, no centro de arte Place des Arts, em 2010. A instalação Timing
foi exibida no Glow Festival de 2009 in Eindhoven, Holanda. No final de 2009 e por ocasião do
aniversário do rei tailandês, aprox. 2 a 3 milhões de visitantes viram a instalação de fachada do
artista no trono real em Banguecoque. Seus outros projetos incluem: Time Lines, no prestigiado
museu Palazzio delle Esposizioni (Roma, 2007); Time Fades, no Fórum Cultural de Berlim;
Broken Time Lines, no antigo spa Kurhaus Ahrenshoop (Alemanha, 2008).
Os projetos de Geist são principalmente caracterizados por sua complexidade na integração de
espaço, som e imagens de movimento. Suas instalações de mapeamento de vídeo renunciam
telas e transformam uma ampla gama de arquiteturas em esculturas móveis e pitorescas que
desafiam a percepção do espectador de duas e três dimensões.

Lichtkunst-VideoMappingInstallationen Philipp Geist in Rio de Janeiro / Brasilien 2014
an der Christstatue (Cristo Redender) 12.5 und in der Favela Santa Marta 15./16.5.2014
Installation Philipp Geist Deutsch-Brasilianisches Jahr 2013/2014
Konzept Time Drifts Mai 2014
Zum Abschluss des Deutsch-Brasilianischen-Jahres 2013/2014 entwickelt der Berliner Künstler
Philipp Geist (1976) zwei Lichtinstallation in Rio d.J.; eine an der weltbekannten Christstatue
(Cristo Redender) und in die andere Installation in der Favela Santa Marta. Bei der Installation
greift der Künstler künstlerisch frei und poetisch deutsch brasilianische Themen auf und
entwickelt eine Gebäude- und Boden-Lichtinstallation aus farbigen Wörtern und Begriffen in
portugiesischer, deutscher, und in weiteren internationalen Sprachen. Die Installation thematisiert
kulturelle Besonderheiten und Errungenschaften beider Länder und visualisiert die Themen Zeit
und Raum, Flüchtigkeit und Präsenz in freien künstlerischen Art. Bei den beiden Projekten handelt
es sich um ein Doppelprojekt welches kombiniert wird. Die Installation auf das Wahrzeichen von
Rio und Brasilien die Christstatue, wird aufgenommen und auf die kleinen Gebäude und Hütten
der Favela projiziert. Die Christstatue die errichtet worden ist um die Stadt und Seeleute zu
schützen, wird so symbolisch schützend über ein Armenviertel die Favela projiziert. Dabei ist die
Installation in der Favela nicht nur auf einer Fassade als große Kinoprojektion oder als statisches
Bild zu sehen, sondern auf mehreren verwinkelten Gebäuden, den Dächern, den Boden und auf
den Stufen. Der Besucher wird vielmehr auf diese Weise selbst Teil der Installation und kann in die
Projektion und das Licht eintauchen und sich einbringen. In der Favela werden Strassenmalkreide
ausgelegt und die Bewohner und Besucher ob jung oder alt können Begriffe auf die Strasse, den
Boden, die Treppenstufen oder sogar auf die Hauswände schreiben und malen. Die Bewohner und
verschiedene Institutionen sollen angesprochen werden Assoziationen und Begriffe die für Rio,
Brasilien und Deutschland stehen einzureichen.
Für die 2012 bei der Luminale gezeigten Installation hat der Künstler Philipp Geist den Deutschen
Lichtdesign-Preis 2013 in der der Kategorie Lichtkunst gewonnen. Die Serie 'Time Drifts' zeichnet
sich aus durch die komplexe und die subtile Möglichkeit, verschiedenste Strömungen und
Stimmen in kulturellen Kontexten sichtbar zu machen und Institutionen und Besuchern die
Möglichkeit zur inhaltlichen Partizipation zu geben: Es können verschiedene Persönlichkeiten,
Besucher und Institute im Vorfeld angesprochen werden, die Begriffe und Assoziationen
beisteuern. Aktuelle und kulturhistorische Themen werden im Vorfeld vom Künstler recherchiert
und auf sensible und subtile Weise integriert. Die Projektion verzichtet auf den Einsatz von
Leinwänden, denn Begriffe und Assoziationen werden grossflächig auf die Bodenfläche, auf
mehrere Fassaden und in Theaternebel projiziert. Über den Zeitraum von 2 Tagen wird die
Installation vor Ort in der Favela am 15/16.Mai und die Installation am Cristo Redentor am 12.Mai
für einen Tag zu sehen sein.!
Kleine, große, junge und alte Besucher können sich einbringen in die Installation und mit farbiger
Straßenmalkreide, die ausgelegt wird, Wörter nachzeichnen und hinzufügen und so interaktiv an
der Installation teilnehmen. Über die Installationsdauer entsteht somit ein Wörterteppich aus
Begriffen, die vor Ort von den Besuchern selbst mittels dem temporären und flüchtigen 'Medium'
der Strassenmalkreide beigesteuert werden. Geist entwickelt auf diese Weise einen Dialog
zwischen dem Ort, den Besuchern und seiner künstlerischen Arbeit. ! !
Die konkrete, greifbare Projektionsfläche der Architektur und die statischen Begriffe auf der
Bodenfläche stehen für die Fakten und sichtbaren Relikte, welche unser Geschichtsverständnis
ausmachen. Die transparente, sich verflüchtigende Projektionsfläche im Nebel erinnert daran,
dass ein Teil der Geschichte nicht konserviert werden kann und im Moment in unserer individuellen
Vorstellung entsteht. Begriffe werden als Metapher für die Vergänglichkeit kurzzeitig sichtbar und
verschwinden sofort wieder. Dieses Zusammenspiel der verschiedenen Text- und Bildschichten im
Raum verweist auf den Ort und die Geschichte(n) Brasiliens und Deutschlands und den kulturellen
Austausch beider Länder. Die Besucher selbst werden Teil der Installation: sie tauchen in die
großflächige Bodenprojektion ein. Auf diese Weise vereinen sich unterschiedliche Perspektiven
und Raumerfahrungen. Abstrakte Passagen, die sich aufbauen, überlagern und gegenseitig
verdrängen, symbolisieren die ständigen Veränderungen in der Geschichte, den Lauf der Zeit und
die Flüchtigkeit des Seins. Auch das Verständnis von der Vergangenheit ist im Fluss. Die
modernen Schriften und Formationen, die am Computer entstanden sind, stellen eine Verbindung
zur Gegenwart und den Möglichkeiten der heutigen Technik her und zeigen, dass die Erfahrbarkeit
von Geschichte und Kultur immer von den Möglichkeiten und Rahmenbedingungen der Gegenwart
abhängig ist.
'Time Drifts - Words of Berlin' ist Teil einer Serie von Installationen, die Philipp Geist in den letzten
Jahren gezeigt hat, und die dabei immer wieder neu an die örtlichen Gegebenheiten ortsspezifisch
weiterentwickelt wird: Im Oktober 2012 zeigte Geist die Installation auf dem gesamten Potsdamer
Platz und den beiden Hochhäusern Kolhoff Tower und Renzo Piano Tower. Im April 2012 wurde die
Installation in Frankfurt auf der Luminale gezeigt, wurde von mehr als 40.000 Besuchern gesehen
und war das Hauptprojekt der Luminale 2012. Im Jahr 2011 zeigte Geist die Installation Time Drifts
in Vancouver am Jack-Poole Plaza, ebenso wie in Montreal am Place des Arts in 2010. Die
Installation 'Timing' war 2009 auf dem Glow Festival in Eindhoven zu sehen. Ende 2009 sahen
anlässlich des Geburtstages des thailändischen Königs ca. 2-3 Millionen Besucher seine
Fassadeninstallation am königlichen Thron in Bangkok. Andere Projekte waren u.a.: 'Time Lines'
am renommierten Museum delle Esposizioni (2007), 'Time Fades' am Berliner Kulturforum,
'Broken Time Lines' am alten Kurhaus Ahrenshoop (2008).
Geists Projekte sind in erster Linie gekennzeichnet durch ihre Komplexität in der Integration von
Raum, Ton und Bewegbild. Seine Video-Mapping-Installationen verzichten auf Leinwände und
verwandeln verschiedenste Architekturen in bewegte, malerische Lichtskulpturen, die die
Wahrnehmung der Betrachter von Zwei- und Dreidimensionalität herausfordern.

Light Installation / Video Mapping Installation
New City Hall Bayreuth from July 7th to August 28th On the occasion of Richard Wagner’s 200th birthday the Berlin artist Philipp Geist (1976) develops a comprehensive light and video mapping installation on the external walls of the New City Hall in Bayreuth over a period of 40 nights. The artist dismisses the use of screens and projects his artistic image and light projections directly onto the facade. The projection merges with the location and invites visitors to linger around the New City Hall. The art installation is going to be further developed and enhanced during the mentioned period.
The subject of the artistic installation is Richard Wagner and his works; images, words, quotes, and associations from his operas are artistically interpreted and incorporated into the installation. These terms and quotations from Wagner's operas are projected in a "carpet of words" and abstract verbal images on the facade. With his pictorial language the artist Philipp Geist develops his own artistic interpretation of Wagner's themes. Geist creates a dialog between the location, i.e. the New City Hall, the visitors, and the artistic works of Richard Wagner. In the process, the access to the "Wagner" topic is complex: On a first direct level, concepts and images of his major works will be displayed on the facade by means of the visual language of Philipp Geist. Visitors will be inspired by individual characters and scenes from the rich repertoire of fine arts, from paintings and illustrations, especially from the 19th century. However, the characters and scenes will be alienated and integrated into the abstract structures of Philipp Geist’s worlds of images. Known Wagner themes, such as fire, natural phenomenons, and symbols like the ring, the sword, and the storm as a mirror for the inner turmoil, can be re-experienced and emerge as quotes in the form of images. In this way the installation demonstrates connections in a non-narrative manner and thus admits a different modern and contemporary access to Wagner’s works.
In this manner the radiant face of the hero appears in order to darken and vanish in the next moment. The great void comes into sight through the building bathed in darkness symbolizing the fraud, the vile and the dark side existing in men.
A scenery appears for an instant to dissolve in a flash into a graphic pattern again. Pristine landscapes turn into pixels and remind the viewer of the actual romantic ideal.
The Rheingold shines and sparkles through a hinted blue surface of water to crumble to dust a moment later. Gray and white particles float over the facade; the material transience is almost palpable.
The symbolism of the colors is adopted from the works: white sails become black, and vice versa; for the contemporary video projection technology it is easy to decide instantly on fateful questions. The sails may also turn into colorful triangles and fly away over the facade as a graphic pattern. At the same time, it is the random and ludic character of the installation that lures out the tragic and borne nature of the Wagner pathos and allows viewers of any age to envision uncountable points of contact. The installation celebrates Wagner, but it also uncovers critical voices: polarizations like genius and kitsch clash together and cover the building as one, quotes as Wagner’s "Aber, aber, was sollen die Sentimentalitäten" [But for all that, what’s the point of all these sentimentalities] wander along the facade.
On another level the approaches followed by Wagner matter for Geist’s installation: Wagner crossed the boundaries between the different arts and contents. He allied image and sound, music and stories, symphony and legends. Also Geist’s installation is influenced by Crossover: the multimedia artist creates a synergetic work on the City Hall giving rise to images from texts and mixing the analog with the digital by painting with light and his computer

Lichtinstallation / Video-Mapping-Installation
Bayreuth Neues Rathaus 20.07.2013 bis 28.08.2013
KONZEPT PHILIPP GEIST
Anlässlich des 200. Geburtstags von Richard Wagner entwickelt der Berliner Künstler Philipp Geist (1976) über den Zeitraum von 40 Abenden eine flächendeckende Licht- und Video-Mapping-Installation auf das Neue Rathaus in Bayreuth. Dabei verzichtet der Künstler auf den Einsatz von Leinwänden und projiziert seine künstlerischen Bild- und Lichtprojektionen direkt auf die Fassade. Die Projektion verschmilzt mit dem Ort und lädt Besucher zum Verweilen am Neuen Rathaus ein. Über den Zeitraum der Installation wird die künstlerische Installation weiterentwickelt und ergänzt. Inhalt der künstlerischen Installation ist Richard Wagner und sein Werk; Bilder, Begriffe, Zitate und Assoziationen aus seinen Opern werden künstlerisch interpretiert und in die Installation eingebaut. Dabei werden Begriffe und Zitate aus Wagners Opern als Wörterteppich und abstrakten Wort-Bilder auf die Fassade projiziert. Der Künstler Philipp Geist entwickelt mit seiner Bildsprache seine eigene künstlerische Interpretation der Wagner-Themen. Geist entwickelt einen Dialog zwischen dem Ort, also dem Neuen Rathaus, den Besuchern und dem künstlerischen Werk von Richard Wagner. Der Zugang zum Thema „Wagner“ ist dabei vielschichtig. Zum Einen auf einer ersten, direkten Ebene, werden Begriffe und Bilder seiner Hauptwerke in der Bildsprache von Philipp Geist auf der Fassade zu sehen sein. Einzelne Figuren und Szenen aus dem reichen Repertoire der Bildenden Kunst, aus Gemälden und Illustrationen v.a. aus dem 19. Jahrhundert werden dem Besucher begegnen. Sie werden jedoch verfremdet und in die abstrakten Strukturen von Philipp Geists Bilderwelten integriert. Bekannte Wagner-Themen wie das Feuer, Naturereignisse und Symbole wie der Ring, das Schwert, und den Sturm als Spiegel für die innere
Aufruhr werden neu erfahrbar gemacht und tauchen als Bildzitate in der Installation auf. Die Installation zeigt so in nicht narrativer Art Zusammenhänge auf und lässt somit einen anderen modernen und zeitgenössichen Zugang zu dem Werk Wagners zu. So erscheint das strahlende Gesicht des Helden, um sich im nächsten Moment zu verdüstern und zu verschwinden. Die große Leere erscheint durch das in Dunkel getauchte Gebäude und symbol- isiert den Betrug, das Niederträchtige und Düstere im Menschen. Eine Szenerie taucht auf, um gleich wieder in ein grafisches Muster zu zerfließen. Unberührte Landschaften werden zu Pixeln und führen dem Betrachter vor Augen, dass es sich um ein romantisches Ideal handelt. Das Rheingold strahlt und funkelt durch die blaue angedeutete Wasseroberfläche hindurch, um im nächsten Moment zu Staub zu zerfallen. Graue und weiße Partikel schweben über die Fassade, die materielle Vergänglichkeit wird geradezu greifbar. Die Symbolik der Farben wird aus dem Werk übernommen, weiße Segel werden zu schwarzen und umgekehrt, es ist der zeitgenössichen Videoprojektionstechnik ein Leichtes, ganze Schicksalsfragen zu entscheiden. Vielleicht werden die Segel auch zu bunten Dreiecken und fliegen als grafisches Muster über die Fassade davon. So ist auch das Zufällige und Spielerische Merkmal der Installation, die das Tragische und Getragene des Wagner-Pathos herausfordert und eine Vielzahl von Anknüpfungspunkten für das Publikum jeden Alters ermöglicht. Die Installation feiert Wagner, macht aber auch kritische Stimmen sichtbar: Polarisierungen wie „Genie“ und „Kitsch“ treffenen aufeinander und ziehen sich gemeinsam über das Gebäude, Zitate wie Wagners: „Aber, aber, was sollen die Sentimentalitäten“wandern die Fassade entlang. Auf einer weiteren Ebene werden die Ansätze, welche Wagner verfolgte, auch für Geists Installation von Bedeutung sein: Wagner überschritt die Grenzen der verschiedenen Künste und Inhalte. Er brachte Bild und Ton, Musik und Geschichten, Symphonie und Sagen zusammen. Auch die Installation von Geist ist geprägt vom Crossover: Der Multimedia-Künstler erschafft ein synergetisches Werk auf dem Rathaus, lässt aus Texten Bilder entstehen und mischt Analoges mit Digitalem, indem er mit Licht und dem Computer malt.

There's a new Google Maps powered site called Wayfaring. It allows you to create your own maps with "waypoints" and "routes." I've created a map of my life. It shows locations from my birth through school to where I currently live. Some of the points may not be completely accurate. I don't know exactly where in Philadelphia I was born and I couldn't find my elementary school in Google Maps.
