    &gt;pers&#xF6;nlich&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Auszug:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Herr Meier, am Dienstag sind Sie an den Swiss Music Awards gemeinsam mit Boris Blank mit dem Achievement Award ausgezeichnet worden. Wieso?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
- Dies selbst zu beurteilen, ist nicht ganz einfach. M&#xF6;glicherweise h&#xE4;ngt dies damit zusammen, dass wir beide Dilettanten sind. Und dass wir aus diesem Dilettantismus heraus unsere eigene musikalische Welt geschaffen haben. Wir waren nie gefangen im K&#xF6;nnen, im Beherrschen eines Instruments, sondern haben einfach gemacht, was wir f&#xFC;r richtig hielten. Deshalb wurde unsere Musik so etwas wie ein zweites Gesicht. Wir standen von Anfang an ausserhalb der Norm und haben uns selber definiert und gefunden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Aber ist das vielleicht eine wichtige Regel? Dass man sich nicht speziell auf eine internationale Karriere ausrichten darf?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
- Auf jeden Fall. Wenn man von der Schweiz aus mit Musik Erfolg haben will, muss man sich zu der Provinzialit&#xE4;t und zu den Eigenheiten der Schweiz bekennen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wo liegt das Bekenntnis zur Provinzialit&#xE4;t in der Musik von Yello?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
- Das liegt darin, dass wir uns an nichts angelehnt haben und sozusagen wie Bergdisteln unser eigenes Leben gef&#xFC;hrt haben. Wenn man kein Instrument spielt und eigentlich nichts kann, dann ist man automatisch irgendwo provinziell, weil man dann ja nur aus sich selber heraus agiert.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><dc:subject>etoy.SMALLTALK</dc:subject><dc:creator>etoy.TABEA</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-03-05T09:54:26Z</dc:date></item><item><title>TESLA </title><link>http://www.etoy.com/blog/archive/2010/03/02/tesla.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.etoy.com/blog/archive/id/10957/</guid><content:encoded xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.etoy.com//dynimages/480/files/blog/tesla_roadster_sport-1.jpg"

&lt;p&gt;...When I was a boy, I discovered a magnetic reel-to-reel audio tape recorder that my father had used to create &#x201C;audio letters&#x201D; to my mother while he was serving in the Vietnam War. To my delight (and his horror), I could listen to many of the old tapes he had made a decade before. Even better, I could make recordings myself and listen to them. However, all of my father&#x2019;s tapes were decaying to some degree&#x2014;flaking, stretching and breaking when played. It was clear that these tapes would not last forever, so I copied a few of them to new cassette tapes. While playing back the cassettes, I noticed that some of the sound quality was lost in the copying process. I wondered how many times I could make a copy before there was nothing left but a murky hiss..." &lt;a href="http://www.americanscientist.org/issues/pub/2010/3/avoiding-a-digital-dark-age"

    &gt;Medicine and Art&lt;/a&gt; exhibition at the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi Hills today. The museum is located on the 52 floor of the Mori building with a breathtaking view over Tokyo. The exhibition contained old and new artistic representations of the human body, for medical purposes such as anatomic studies as well as for the age-old artistic reminder of the brevity and fragility of our human life:&#xA0;memento mori.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, reminders are only a start. Much representation of the nude and of death goes far beyond a gruesome reminder of our mortality to fascination with what we can't see:&#xA0;our inside. To fascination with difference between the sexes, between the living face and the mask of the dead. The most touching exhibit, to me, was the photograph series of individuals just before and shortly after death by Walter Schels. Notoriously, &lt;a href="http://etoy.com/blog/archive/2008/06/09/synthetic-times-opening.html"
    &gt;Stelarc reappeared&lt;/a&gt; with his third ear, and Eduardo Kac with the glowing bunny: etoy AGENTS remember the heated discussions at ARS last year about Kac's work with the flower and the replicability of artistic work that draws on undisclosed scientific methods: we disapproved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Working with mortal remains, Alvin Zafra grated an entire human skull onto sand paper resulting in what looked like an abstract gray painting. Unfortunately, the process documentation on video demystified the grating procedure into a trivial mechanics that seemed pointless and inadequate to the quite intriguing end result.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A parallel exhibit featured the &lt;a href="http://www.mori.art.museum/english/contents/mamproject/project010/index.html"
    &gt;Complaints Choirs&lt;/a&gt; by Kalleinen&amp;amp;Kalleinen, a beautifully poetic work that reminds us of the apparent impossibility of happiness and our constant bias towards not living the moment but focusing on problems, obstacles, worries, and all the griefs that turn us into mumbling, bitchy, grumpy old folks.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><dc:subject>etoy.AGENTS / haefliger</dc:subject><dc:subject>MISSION ETERNITY / research</dc:subject><dc:creator>etoy.HAEFLIGER</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-02-17T14:32:58Z</dc:date></item><item><title>Ales Steger in Zurich</title><link>http://www.etoy.com/blog/archive/2010/02/16/ales-steger-in-zurich.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.etoy.com/blog/archive/id/10879/</guid><content:encoded xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">&lt;p&gt;I just looked inside the gallery where the poet - the husband of our agent MAJA&#xA0;PETROVIC-STEGER was reading his words to quite a crowd next to the ice cold floating river: here the article from the tagesanzeiger about him, and the latest book to &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.de/Preu%C3%9Fenpark-Berliner-Skizzen-Ales-Steger/dp/3518125699/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1266320136&amp;sr=8-1"
