ai's new video - waterboarding!

The italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera" has published a new video produced by amnesty international this week.

The video deals with the torture procedure called "waterboarding" - an interrogation method which got popular during examinations by the CIA, questioning Al Kaida suspects after 9/11.

Simulated drowning seems to be highly effective during such interrogations and mainly that's the reason, why president Bush has defended this method recently in the public.

Take a look at amnesty's perspective on this topic - an impression of how horrible this treatment may be.

artists in berlin

Yesterday I read the following article in the newspaper and got me thinking, if one of the most famous artists in the world says such things. can our city be so stupid?




The danish artist olafur eliasson goes heavy against his adopted city berlin.

„ I believe the city could have profit much more from the creativity assembled over here“, said the 40 year old to the Spiegel. The museums didnt try even once to contact some of berlin´s resident artists, who are exhibiting their work worldwide, just not in berlin itself."

Eliasson, to whom MoMa dedicated a huge exhibition starting from sunday, has adopted, according to information, two african children with his wife.
He runs an atelier in berlin with around 30 employees, but leads his family life in Copenhagen. in the german capital, he said „ there is a distinct phobia towards dark-skinned people“. He wants to protect his children from that.
