Access Ai Weiwei

Right now we are celebrating the official opening of the exhibition "so sorry" of Ai Weiwei in Munich’s Haus der Kunst. China’s most well known artist in the Western World and the Internet is an icon of our times. As a controversially perceived political human being he is pointing at structural violence.

The expression: "So sorry" probably the most used non-F-word by people with marginal or no proficiency in the English language is a strong account for these kind of violence.

If you say: "I am sorry" you usually admit that you did something wrong and you ask the ones being affected by your wrong behaviour and actions for forgiveness. In order to be forgiven you have to understand what was wrong and as a consequence of regretting your shortcomings you have to change your behaviour, to stop your misguided actions and to try to prevent future failures.

If you just say: "I am sorry" (without really meaning it, i.e. understanding the concept of forgiving) and continue with your mistakes consciously, because you have the power to do so. The ones affected will not be able to forgive you; they will be frustrated, will lose trust and will seek to restore justice. If they do so in a violent way, they will also have to say "I am sorry" one day.

Maybe art has the chance to highlight and make understandable problems of structural power and violence in its unique non-violent way.

For now: Enjoy the show.

Access Telephone ID´s

This last month has been full of work and projects, which hopefully will flourish until the end of the year. UHNI networks, Caviar and power cruisers are going to be my dominant themes for the next months.

In the Internet business I found two things remarkable. First: aSW.com has been inviting its members to subscribe for UrbanDaddy.com Second: spoofApp.com allows for calls with freely choosable (ie faked) Caller ID´s, which has been up till now a privilege for experts. WYSIWYG no longer holds for the telephone industry. What do you think about this development? Yours, Hansi

Do Not Access Vingers.ru

To access vingers.ru is not recommendable at all. Seriously the social networking site facebook.com is under a massive phishing attack these days. Up till now more than 10 urls in Austria, Belgium and Russia get used to harvest the login data of facebook users.

Facebook users with extensive networks, whose account got hacked, unknowingly send out private messages to all their contacts asking them to visit the phishing sites named, e.g. silvertag.be, whiteflash.be and vingers.ru

Once there the users see a page similar to the original facebook site and get asked to insert their login data.

Not only the individual emailaddress and the password get phished, according to the Internet Storm Center (ISC) the sites automatically install an iframe programme whose purpose is not known yet.

So do protect your friends and yourself and avoid to access these sites. If you get these messages from friends, please inform them that their account got hacked and ask them to change their passwords.

Maybe we should all change our passwords.

Feel free to add other phishing to the list:

vingers.ru

silvertag.be

whiteflash.be

databus.be

areps.at

Acccess the old aSWZurich

Panta Rhei – social networks are in an continuous flow and readjustment, as they represent the interconnected and changing relationships of its constituents, individual people.
Social networks defined this way are not necessarily bound to any specific platform like facebook.com, asw.com, xing.com, decayenne.com or internations.org. The relationships among people (i.e.networks) can be represented in different ways on different platforms.

If we take for example the network of the former students of the University of St. Gallen / Switzerland called HSG Alumni. This network has many on- and offline representations of diverse forms. In the offline world there are many different formal and informal clubs, associations, groups and circles. An official list of the more formal offline communities can be found at http://alumni.unisg.ch/

In the online world, you can find HSG Alumni on many so-called social network platforms. On internation.org and linkedin.com there are several groups called HSG Alumni. On asw.com there is a profile called HSG Alumni, which is just linked with other people holding an academic title, granted for the University of St. Gallen. Xing.com hosts a huge group called HSG Alumni, which is not even organised and initiated by a person who earned a HSG degree. In contrast to that alumni.unisg.ch and hsgalumni.net are directories and social network platforms which are exclusively built for the HSG Alumni network.

Like in this example the same applies to the network of people who are connected through the spirit of aSWZurich. It started at the end of 2004 when people and members of that time asmallworld.net began to gather through the initiatives of Isabel Florido, Stefan Siegel and myself. Nowadays this and parts of this network are represented on many platforms like asw.com, plaxo.com, internations.org and decayenne.com. The network aSWZurich uses a yahoo-based newsgroup to provide their members with an easy to use and very direct communication channel.

Yesterday we celebrated the aSWZurich spirit with more than 200 members at the ICON club in Zurich. Isabel, the aSWZurich moderators and many members of the early days had a relaxed evening among friends as can be guessed from the pictures above. For more pictures feel free to go to http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=180629940206

I am sure that at today's decayenne.com apero there will also be some of the aSWZurich members. It´s the people, not the platform that counts. Greetings to my decayenne friends. If you need an invitation to decayenne.com send an email to decayenne@globalisten.com
