(German)

Christiane
Heibach discusses Amerika's attempt to turn
an aesthetical theory into a piece of art,

employ excessive self-reference in the field
of netart.

Der tiefe
Sinn des Banalen - "Die Aaleskorte der
Ölig" (German)
|
Roberto
Simanowski discovers in Dirk Günter's
and Frank Klötken's "Die Aaleskorte der
Ölig" (Pegasus-Pricewinner 1998) the
hidden sense beneath banality. Simanowski
explores the sexual connotations behind the
story of selling an eel, presented in the
aesthetics of uglyness. The excess of ways to
navigate these 20 word-picture-units (6.9
billion) is revealed as an ironic discurse
about the media itself and a hidden
apotheosis of linear story telling.
