On Social Constructs

The American poet Claudia Rankine in an Interview about race as a social construct.

Another Role Model has left the Stage

Many artists have informed and inspired me with their work and personality throughout my life so far.
One whom I can definitely count as a role model has left the stage forever: Trisha Brown.

When I first got to know her work performed on a roof top in NYC (Roof Piece) I was totally enchanted, amazed and convinced by her vision to take dance out of the dance studio into the open space.
She was a pioneer in many ways, also in working with visual artitist and she was definitely one of those artists who kept me believing into my own work.
I saw a piece of hers with ropes on Documenta 12  - Was it Floor of The Forest ? -  and loved it, I think also because it was a life performance with dancers amongst all the other art work, which I recall as being quite brainy.

Farewell, Trisha! I hope you keep on dancing.

UNIVERSALLY TRUE

"But you know, we — when we feel stress, when we feel pressure, when we’re just fed information that encourages some of our worst instincts, we tend to fall back into some of the old racial fears and racial divisions and racial stereotypes, and it’s very hard for us to break out of those and to listen and to think about people as people and to imagine being in that person’s shoes."
(President Obama in his last news conference, Jan 18, 2017) 

FAKE impossible

Richtig oder falsch:

- Damit eine Zuordnung eine Funktion ist, wird jedem y-Wert ein   x-Wert zugeordnet.
- Verläuft eine Gerade von links oben nach rechts unten, so ist ihre Steigung positiv.
- Den y-Achsenabschnitt einer linearen Funktion kann man an der Gleichung ablesen.
- Jede Funktion hat mindestens eine Nullstelle.


Es gibt jeweils nur eine richtige Lösung.
