TU Dortmund Psychogeography

My friend Feloris and I were stranded on TU Dortmund’s campus over the weekend. Everything was deserted, except for the wild rabbits that have tunneled under, well, everything, we think. Originally we set out to find a place that would sell us some coffee, but soon the dystopian atmosphere called for some psychogeographical documentation. These pictures are the result of our walk – and the inspiration for a collaborative Weird short story in progress. Please excuse the cellphone cam (my good camera is broken), but I honestly think that the cheaper lens rendered the clouds even more foreboding, etc.
(Warning: LOTS and LOTS of pictures.)

Autoform: Forming Reality

Going Up…

…and Down.

Uniformity.

Ominous Containers.

(72) Autoform.

(18) Autoform.

Achtung!

Solar Panels.

(Did I say foreboding clouds?)

(I did, didn’t I.)

Weird Echo. (Urban Ammonite.)

(& from another angle)

Goethe reveals sinister secrets (and not even between the lines).

(Utopia doesn’t age well.)

Imprisoned.

Moreau.

Ritual Site.

Night Time.

This should be a 503.

Got up, remembered the internet blackout – but the instructions page for the blackout plugin is already blacked out. (Hah. Imagine a better dystopia. Thank you, wordpress, for making the nightmare more real, and for helping people imagine a censored internet.) Anyway, I’ll be back fiddling with my site soon – and with more info on SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA (something we Europeans should definitely be aware of).

Take Action!

-> STOP SOPA!
-> STOP PIPA!
-> STOP ACTA!

(Also: today I learned that, of course, ACTA too can be represented by a giant octopus.)

Something to watch (out for)

If I hadn’t already posted the smashed TV graffiti on 7 December, I’d do so today.
If you haven’t seen “Black Mirror” yet, you really should give it a try. After last night’s episode, everyone should technically smash their TV (and I’m not even starting about Facebook and all the rest), but I know that nobody will, and that makes it even more true.
Anyway, I hope they can keep the standard up, because I think it’s brilliant. Not least because it hurts so much.

As for myself, I’m still trying to make all the other realities break through.

Subaqueous Horrors

Danke, Standard.
