Sofia
Tomorrow, I go to the Bulgarian capital of Sofia. I will stay there for three nights, and it is purely a business trip.
The #Bauhaus was the most influential #modernist #art #school of the 20th century, one whose approach to teaching, and understanding art’s relationship to society and technology, had a major impact both in #Europe and the #United #States long after it closed. It was shaped by the 19th and early 20th centuries trends such as Arts and Crafts movement, which had sought to level the distinction between fine and applied arts, and to reunite creativity and manufacturing. This is reflected in the romantic medievalism of the school’s early years, in which it pictured itself as a kind of medieval crafts guild. But in the mid 1920s the medievalism gave way to a stress on uniting art and industrial design, and it was this which ultimately proved to be its most original and important achievement. The school is also renowned for its faculty, which included artists Wassily #Kandinsky, Josef #Albers, Laszlo Moholy-#Nagy, Paul #Klee and Johannes #Itten, architects Walter #Gropius and Ludwig #Mies van der #Rohe, and designer Marcel #Breuer.
Educational spot for Goethe-Institut’s “Deutschlandrätsel”. The objective: Different films with different moods from different German cities. Here: Dessau. With an octocopter we fly through and over Bauhaus Dessau. Off-screen we hear original footage from Walter Gropius. The film is musically accentuated by Neue Bauhaus Kapelle. The producer’s cut.

A journey through genes begin!

Finished “Shadowbahn”. I liked it, it held some images that is slowly creeping into my mind.
But I don’t think I will advance other Steven Erickson novels up on my reading list, it is down there, on the list somewhere, held together in groups based on mostly randomness and hot intuition.
I still miss the social media outlets Sometimes, small glitches, small twitches in my fingers, well in my mind really. The habits die hard.
A New, More Rigorous Study Confirms: The More You Use Facebook, the Worse You Feel
“Overall, our results showed that, while real-world social networks were positively associated with overall well-being, the use of Facebook was negatively associated with overall well-being. These results were particularly strong for mental health; most measures of Facebook use in one year predicted a decrease in mental health in a later year. We found consistently that both liking others’ content and clicking links significantly predicted a subsequent reduction in self-reported physical health, mental health, and life satisfaction.”
Writing, drinking, travelling.
Going to visit my mother today
She lives 1.5 hours train ride away from us.
