Containerist-Experimente

Seit Ende letzten Jahres habe ich ein paar Experimente geschrieben/gecodet, um die Potenziale und Fallen des Containeristen auszuloten. Hier ist eine kurze Aufzählung.    Read more — 7 comment(s)

Der Containerist

Am Anfang ist der Container. Er ist autark, standardisiert und überall hin zustellbar. Sein Inhalt ist jederzeit vom Autor änderbar, an allen Orten. Das ist der Anfang des Containeristen.    Read more

Aesthetics

The beauty as well as the ugliness touch me. Touch every one of us. Creating something aesthetical is art that I am magically drawn by.
