DB

Monday, January 30, 2012

And, speaking of our friends at Raster-Noton, we should make sure to mention Japanese electronic wizard Ryoji Ikeda’s new audio-visual installation db which just opened at Berlin’s Hamburger Bahnhof, and suffice to say, this is not to be missed.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Dear Friends,
our first project in 2012 is kind of an unusual one for us, but then again, we feel it’s about time – all too often we get asked about all these ‘other mono’s’: What is mono.graphie? And really, you run a fashion label? Well yes, kind of. Truth is: Our publisher, Kai von Rabenau, [...]
