Talking about Capitalism at Berlin’s Transmediale 2012
http://visitsteve.com/news/talks/talking-about-capitalism-at-berlins-transmediale-2012/
Tomorrow morning I leave for Berlin with Victoria Estok for Transmediale 2012. I’ll be speaking at Crashed Economy: Debugging and Rebooting. About the talk/panel: To face the current economical crisis means to question dualistic perspectives such as capitalism vs anti-capitalism as well as to imagine a sustainable network of values in which accumulation of growth and precarity are substituted by a grassroots ecology of sharing built on an increasing capacity for sociability. This event presents two sets of projects which question the notion of capitalism through direct intervention and collective reflections proposing an exodus from proprietary money and trade regulation through distributed commons and practices of social networking. In Part 1: What Capitalism? Steve Lambert (us) and Daniel Garcia Andujar (es) show how one can critique the concept of capitalism in times of crisis through direct interventions and ludic practices. Elanor Colleoni (it/dk) will act as respondent. Victoria is in the reSource program.

How to save 2,30 € for a latte in Berlin
http://fffff.at/how-to-save-2-e-for-a-latte-in-berlin/
DISCLAIMER: Don’t do this at home …ähhh … at the city trains U-Bahn or S-Bahn. They check those quite often. The bus driver in the city might ask you for a ticket or yell at you but you can always try to just walk in. At Tegel nobody cares AT ALL …. enjoy the coffee places in Berlin! ( That’s all what we have ;-) See also James’ UK bus hack!

Facebook Resistance Workshop at Transmediale
http://fffff.at/facebook-resistance-workshop-at-transmediale/
Call for participation The workshop was originally planned for 10 peeps, but we just raised it to 30 chairs!! So if you want to participate in the workshop (part of this year’s Transmediale Berlin festival) – Submit this form right now with a quick sentence and info about you!! Short intro to FB Resistance: Facebook Resistance is a research initiative accepting the status quo of Facebook beeing the dominant social identity management system, researching on ways to change it’s rules and functionality from inside the system, locally via Browser App. FB sets the rules of how-to behave, so we’re asking: Are we happy to live in their visualisation of our online identity or do we want to change it? A change can be as trivial as adding a background-image. Facebook designing your online identity is like IKEA designing your appartment. The only individuality lies in the family pictures standing in your BILLY shelves. More More infos over at http://artzilla.org…, if you can read spanish – Here’s an interview with TBX about the workshop on revistaenie.clarin.com. Soon more on twitter.com/fbresistance and http://fbresistance.com

Graffiti Analysis and the Media Facades Festival Continues…
http://fffff.at/graffiti-analysis-and-the-media-facades-festival-continues/
The photo and video above are from the first round of testing for Graffiti Analysis and the Media Facades Festival, which took place on the NightScreen in Berlin a couple of days ago. Thanks to everyone who submitted tags and GML data.
For those who haven’t, there is still time. I have information on how to capture and submit tags listed here, but I’ve also come up with a new way of capturing graffiti motion data that requires only a webcam, a computer and a light source attached to a writing implement. This version (outlined in the diagram below) uses the same Graffiti Analysis 2.0 Capture Application and a similar technique as was previously outlined, but does so in a way that does not require additional equipment or the building of a capture case. Video footage of this technique being used in the city can be viewed here.(Click image for larger version) All of the submissions highlighted in the video can be viewed and downloaded at the following: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. All of the tags submitted to the festival can be viewed at: http://000000book.com/data?keywords=MFF2010. Submit your tag now!!!!

How to build a fake Google Street View car
http://fffff.at/google-street-view-car/
Throughout the duration of Transmediale 2010 F.A.T. members met in Berlin and produced a series of projects dedicated to the topic week FUCK GOOGLE. Additional to free software, browser addons, live streams, communiques and on site workshops F.A.T. lab built a fake Google Street View car and conquered the city of Berlin! All FG projects!
Now it’s your turn! Go out there and see what it is like to be Google! Download the instruction PDF here!
Step 1: Find the correct car: Do some research on Google images and pick the exact car model used by Google in your city. Contact your local car rental. Rent or buy the specific roof-rack for that car.
Original Google Street View car Germany (2006 – 2008, last seen in Berlin Oct. 2009)
Fake Google Street View car by F.A.T. during Transmediale Berlin 2010 Step 2: Materials:
(x1) PVC tubing 11 cm diam. – 140 cm (main pole) (x2) wooden boards 100 x 16 x 2,5 cm (base) (x1) wooden board 130 x 30 x 2,5 cm (base) (x2) wooden poles 3 cm diam. – 130 cm (diagonals) (x2) wooden poles 2 cm diam. – 100 cm (lower diagonals) (x2) wooden board 55 x 55 x 1 cm (octagon) (x2) wooden board 40 x 30 x 1 cm (center box) (x2) wooden board 40 x 23 x 1 cm (center box) (x2) wooden board 28 x 230 x 1 cm (center box) (x6) big sheets of 2mm card board(x16) L-brackets (x1) container craft glue (x1) hot glue gun (x1) roll of double-sided tape (x1) 50 meter roll of white duct tape (x1) can of black paint (x1) paint brush (x3) black spray paint (x2) white spraypaint (x1) big sheet of black reflective vinyl (x10) M8 x 50 bolts (x10) M8 nuts (x50) selection of wood screws (8 m) steel cable (x8) cable crimps (x4) cable tensioners (x8) eye hooks (x2) Google street view signs (x1) roof rack Step 3: Plan overview: Feel free to make adjustments to the dimensions and go into more detail than we did. As you can see our camera-top came out a little bigger than the original one. The laser scanners (white boxes) are already adjusted to size. They came out too big in relation to the rest.
Step 4: Center box & tube
Mount the center box and saw a hole 11cm in diameter in the center. Slip it over the tube and attach it with L-brackets and screws. Cut 2 octogons from the 55 x 55 cm wood boards. Mount the base octogon on top of the tube with L-brackets. Paint/spray all black
Step 5: Octagon (no cameras inside!)
Cut the inner and outer octagon walls from the cardboard. Paint both sides of bothe strips black. Glue 4 pieces of wood (23 cm) to the inner ring. Screw and glue the inner ring on the base Hide the inside with a cylinder of black vinyl Screw and glue the top octogon. Clamp the outer ring on. Mount the finished octogon on the main tube with L-brackets.
Step 6: Laser scanners & control unit
Build the laser scanner boxes from cardboard. Use white tape or paint to cover them. Bend a piece of cardboard in the window and cover it with black vinyl. Mount the 3 boxes to the center box (directions!) Build the control unit, paint it yellow, and screw it to the rear side of the center box.
Step 7: Mount main pole on base unit
Mount the main pole to the base with L-brackets Attach rods to the ring on the tube and screw them in the base Stabilize with flight cables on all 4 corners of the center box to the base. Add lower diagonals, dish and stand for optical enhancement.
Step 8: Mount the fake camera top onto the car:
Screw 4 holes 8mm in each bar of the roof rack. Drill the corresponding holes in the wooden base. Mount the camera top with nuts and bolts to the roof rack Make sure the roof rack is mounted and sits tight.
Drive carefully and have fun in the city!!!

How To Track the Google Street View Car
http://fffff.at/how-to-track-the-google-street-view-car/
Get inside a Google Street View Car. Open your favorite Twitter app on GPS enabled smartphone. Tweet sporadically to plot geographic points on the map. Relax as the blogosphere and media outlets go into a frenzy.
Of course, the entire hoax needs a little software to track the movement. Detailed instructions on creating the map* can be found at github.com/gleuch/gcar-tracker. (*Some computer skillz required.)

I wish my camera had more pixels and the window was less foggy. Berlin is actually not as big as it sounds like. Go to full res and you ll have much more pixels than inhabitants. (found at 10.000 feet on the way to zurich last saturday…)
