»You are stranded!«

Because we heard from other guys that we had to imitate an animal to enter the party we practiced it in my flat. Therefore we thought we were perfectly prepared – but this was wrong: now we had to explain why we are stranded and what we want to do. Fortunately Andy had a good excuse and we came in.

This party was almost the craziest thing I witnessed here in NY.

What you hear (and unfortunately can't see) in the first video is a great installation. It was a big black cube out of simple black foil with a lot of small wholes. Outside the installation were three projectors with visuals so that you see a lot of rays. Inside the cube were a lot of pillows, joss sticks and a big, big instrument installation which consisted of different pots and claves in different sizes and arrangements. The sound was live because the installation was programmed and completely self-acting.




Everywhere were different stalls with games and actions like massages, yoga and art installations. Last night we were relegated in the 68ies hippie community – but it was today, with different kinds of crazy people and in NY.
