well … 2008 !!!

... so we came over .. and finally I am looking forward to have a clear field ahead and in a certain way to a new start ..

2007 has been too much occupied with several health issues which summed up to draw a lot of energy and concentration.
As I am working my way back, or better forward from this specific access point of time .. I am looking forward to good load of energy and wish the same to everyone reading this.

The year starts with a little post on a friend’s work, which definitely deserves some attention: SPAM / NO SPAM - decide yourself – presenting:

... the Spammuseum aka Re: Haha, Help is here !! by S. Reling.

SPAM = elektronisches Äquivalent zu unerwünschter Postwurfsendung
SPAM = electronic equivalent of unwanted mail box

Ausgestattet mit der aktuellsten Antivirensoftware und externen Sicherheitskopien traue ich mich, einige Emails zu öffnen und ein bisschen darin zu stöbern. Neben den unzähligen Werbemails finden sich hin und wieder Spams mit sinnlosen Texten, die nach der Herausfilterung der schönsten Zeilen eine eigentümliche Poesie offenbaren. Dieser unendliche Reichtum an Formulierungen, poetischen und philosophischen Gedanken, sowie die Sinnlosigkeit der breiten Versendung durch das Internet findet Entsprechung in Bildern, Objekten, Textcollagen und Schriftbändern.

Equipped with the latest anti-virus software and external security copies I have the heart to open some spam mails and rummage a bit. In addition to the countless ad-mailings there can be found spam with useless texts, which reveal after filtering of the most beautiful lines a peculiar poetry. This infinite richness of formulations, poetic and philosophical thoughts and the senselessness of the broad dispatch through the Internet get an equivalent in images, objects, text collages and font-lines.

The simplest notion of a superstructure, which is still by no means entirely abandoned, had been the reflection, the imitation or the reproduction of the reality of the base in the superstructure in a more or less direct way. Positivist notions of reflection and reproduction of course directly supported this. But since in many real cultural activities this relationship cannot be found, or cannot be found without effort or even violence to the material or practice being studied, the notion was introduced of delays in time, the famous lags, of various technical complications; and of indirectness, in which certain kinds of activity in the cultural sphere - philosophy, for example - were situated at a greater distance from the primary economic activities. (R.Williams' "famous lags" quoted from M.Bérubé)
