Ages of Life 2011-12-30 | When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. (1 Cor 13:11-13)
Politik als Co-Creation 2011-12-27 | Jeder kennt das: man kauft ein Produkt und sofort fällt einem auf, was daran nicht so ganz 100% gut ist - oft Kleinigkeiten, bei denen man denkt: es wäre doch so einfach zu beheben! Problem: die Firma wird es in der Regel nie erfahren. Man könnte anrufen oder schreiben - aber in der Regel ist die Produktion schon so festgelegt - die Maschinen eingerichtet, die Werkstoffe eingekauft, dass kurzfristig selbst gravierende Schwächen nicht mehr auszugleichen sind.

Hacking the Memetic Code 2011-11-06 | The timeline, this is what we call the stream of our friends’ posts that we get presented when we use social networks like Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus, has become an important way to stay in touch with our bunch. But it is also a means to share information, news or entertainment by posting links to content, that we think would be interesting for our kind.
Public relations after the memetic turn 2011-11-06 | I don’t like the term PR 2.0. It suggests an improved version of something that has been around a long time. Some bugs have been removed, some new features have been added. But all in all, it’s still public relations as we know it. I think this is not the case.
What is the Memetic Turn? 2011-08-07 | "The Hanged" from the Tarot Deck of Charles VI., Paris, early 15th century. The symbolism of Tarot - similar to that of alchemy - forms a pre-modern memetic system. Tightly knit into other more or less esoteric programs of meaning, like Qabbalah or astrology, its images are at first illustrative - they picture very well, what can be seen on it, at second they bear an arbitrarily assigned symbolic value. The particular with memes as well as with metaphors is there creating a common space of meaning between several human beings, by which these different beings _identify_ with. “Literacy, the visual technology, dissolved the tribal magic by means of its stress on fragmentation and specialisation and created the individual.”
