San Diego @ October 09
Exploring the campus of University of California San Diego in La Jolla / San Diego remains like a walking trough strange dreams of someone else. A huge campus on hills, lost in the absolute greenness, in which almost all teaching buildings are embedded, with a large window to the ocean, unbelievable. There is no secret thing anymore, why studying in a place like this must be a pleasure and more than this.
The architecture is obviously dedicated to the goals of a contemporary teaching "Anstalt": wide green surfaces, wich contain open spaces in monotone gray (namely buildings), dominated by dynamic screens and images. A kingdom of images.
In 25 minutes I will have a talk in visual art department on imaging machines, bodies and the world, it may not be really a big surprise for these kids here, they are living among images yet.
