The article features some of the 38 designs [...]

INTERVIEWS, THE REAL THING

Monday, March 22, 2010

Normally, the formula is quite simple: You (or a journalist) meet(s) someone, there is a talk, a conversation going on. You are talking, possibly bullshitting a little, arguing, maybe provoking – shortly, you have an interview. We at mono.kultur love and live these very moments, and do our best to present the achievements in the [...]

Kreuzberg, the early days

Thursday, March 18, 2010

At the time, even the trend aware Vice Magazine could not foresee Kreuzberg to host Berlin’s centroid at 52.502778/13.404167 from 1996 onward, nor did enyone [...]

THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Again, it is Apple Macintosh that put goosebumps into my skin today. Because after having thought about the iPad not more then an hour or two, these guys made me do it again. The once punk-rock-on-silicium dream of being different whilst also knowing it turns out to lead into a blind alley of thoughts like I’m-nothing-without-a-soon-achieved-world-supremacy or [...]

NONE THE WISER

Friday, December 25, 2009

I’ve come to really appreciate Christmas, but mostly for the reason that it affords the luxury of time: time to sleep in, time to talk to people you have lost sight of for a while, time to read that issue of mono.kultur you never got around to finishing, time to think, time to kill time. [...]
