POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

The brain is full and mashed after day #3. And once again full of brilliant inspiration.

Once again was the early bird a winner – today SEEPER amazed us with a shared opinion. Music is the key to memories is so true, as well as if the 3yrs & 90yrs old can’t figure the concept out, it is basically no good public installation. WORD.
And Evan’s future insight is as amazing as the way he sees the necessity to make technology one with nature and not destroying this planet.

I have seen the last bit of LERNERT & SANDER and all I can say is – sterreotypical. But a brilliant way to use the desktop as a presentation space.

The long awaited NICK CAMPELL didn’t tell really new stories. DO what you love, trust yourself, 90% happy is a bitch, be aware. Nothing new, but as always perfect to renew your memory about it and share your ‘pain’ with others to get proper paid

Even tho some of the EBOYs are living in Vancouver now, their G(erman)english made it hard to enjoy their beautiful work on the screen.

Unbelievable young seemed ERIK SPIEKERMANN with an entertainer attitude full of humor and side blows to stefan. Essential and pure stuff about terminology between artist and designer, what strategies he sees as essential and proper appeal to do your work for the money it costs and not cheaper. Brilliant show!

Expectantly proper pieces from POST PANIC, but the presentation didn’t quite flow. Got confused that the trailer of the event was shown on the last day, but maybe our misinterpretation of that.

STEFAN SAGMEISTER rocked it all. The fellow Austrian designer held an amazing and overwhelming presentation about his philosophy, deep insight into his way to work and really inspirational connections with Buddhism. Knocked us off the feets how long sighted he referred about society topics for a better (designer) life.

OFFF 2011 had some real gems in stock and gave us shitloads of things to work on, brought us with more ppl from Graz together than we thought (and shows clearly that you always have to meet somewhere else) and left way too sudden – Sagmeister done – ppl on the street. No closing, no finish. Maybe cause it still keeps on working in our brain. till 2012.

BIG CONGRATZ to the crew as well, been a chilled out festival, with not much rules around – only the intense queuing up made a bigger prob/negative touch.

over & out.
