Draft of a communist #utopia by Florida Klaus 🍹 #germanmusic #robot #politics 

At first I thought the recommendation wasn’t statesmanlike enough: the new music video “Fully Automated Luxury Communism” by Florida Klaus.

As a former rock’n’roll advisor under German President Walter Scheel, I still have something like a residual responsibility. I also have to look again into the fine print of the employment contracts to see to what extent it is obligatory.

The church mass of the Great DADAsopher 🚵 🚴 🚴‍♀️ | #comedy #satire #art

At the 2nd International DADA Fair in the free art space GISELA (🐻 Berlin-Lichtenberg) has the 🖼 visual work of Konrad GRÜBELBACH in the art context premiere until Mar 8, 2021. The digital collage “R” has even made it to the poster motif of the exhibition. 🙂

The Great DADAsopher (Gerhard Zaucker, Instagram: @gerhardzaucker) gives himself the honor and me from his point of view information on the contemporary theme of the 😷 mask in connection with the continuation of DADA.

Here is another serious video on the entire exhibition from the GISELA team (Instagram: @gisela_freier_kunstraum):
