Welcome at a+ hellip
hellip and welcome to the exhibition of our featured artist Wolf Nkole Helzle
We are honoured to present our first artwork which links the real and the virtual world This was the idea of a+ creative space and gallery when it was started one year ago by Kai Bierich and myself ndash an interdisciplina-ry platform as a venue and meeting place for interested people exhibitions and dialogue and as an interface between real and virtual worlds We work with different artists architects and designers to bring experimen-tal projects together and using different media We organize a+ exhibitions lectures and debates We want to contribute to civil society
a+ creative space and gallery shall become a meeting point in the global village an environment and com-munity creating a mixture and a blend of the traditional and modern arts digital technologies social innova-tions and networked creativity in arts architecture design and societal change a+ creative space and gallery is coworking place ideas generator think tank enabler for managing ideas and creativity ndash a meeting point in the global village
So it is our pleasure and joy to host Wolf Nkole Helzle his project I am we_interactive image and the rela-tional artifacts from users of his work all over the world Wolf as a person and his global social media art represents everything which I had in my mind when we founded a+ - a perfect merger between virtual and real Wolf is a great personcentered artist and photographer in the real world and a great creator of relati-onal products and platforms in the virtual one He is a philantrope and inspiring and shining when he can build up new relationships And he is open to every new idea in the sense of my motto ndash creativity means combining the unexpected So we developed together this unique concept of combining his digital internet artwork artifacts of the users and an international user meeting
Welcome again to our wonderful venue in Stuttgart welcome to this great real exhibition in the real world with its strong roots in the virtual world We are looking forward to built up new flourishing real and virtual relationships worldwide to become part of a playful global consciousness
How much space needs virtuality
The thoughts about virtual spaces did not pop up nowadays There have always been dreams and visions as essen-tial part of our existence Not only buildings are emerging by coming out of virtual thoughts out of our dreams As well it was the precondition for our belief in superior environments drawn fotographed filmed or software-ge-nerated We always wanted to escape from this (hellip) reality and today we have the tools for this As well we have in this space the possibility of ldquobeing with othersrdquo and being able to share space or information with others So space is something which is to define in a new sense
How does that influence us and where are the additional values for our human existence Virtual space in a for-mer sense could provide spiritual qualities emerging out of a dream that an artist has showing an utopian ideal So Breughel 1562 created his painting of the Tower of Babel It was a mental space ndash drawn with traditional media oil paint on wooden panel How could we provide with our new media additional or spiritual values The new vir-tual space which does not has to follow the rules of the physical world gives totally other opportunities So far we do create therein a new reality an alternative reality which we use and which we got used to
The boarders between the ldquotwo realitiesrdquo become blurred according Virilios statement already in 1984 bdquoIn fact since the originary enclosures the concept of boundary has undergone numerous changes as regards both the facade and the neighborhood it fronts From the palisade to the screen by way of ramparts the boundary-surface has recorded innumerable perceptible and imperceptible transformationsldquo
Now - nearly thirty years later he seems to be right ndash the boundaries of space IS rapt down the virtual space over-takes or performs a new reality giving us artists and architects unexpected opportunities

bdquoWe hear youldquo 2012 Opening performanceMusic Satoshi Fukushima Composer Japan amp Poem Christiane Maruschka Hasselmeier Musician Germany
I see us I see you I see me I am me I am you I am we
We are the land and the shore and the earth from above We are nature and art and a present of love We are stone and water and fire and ice We are desert and sand We are a streetmusic band We are suns and clouds and milky skies We are moons and stars and lullabies We are toys and dolls and shady ground We are voices and music and silence and sound
I see us I see you I see me I am me I am you I am we
We are small things and big life We are a cat a reptile a dunkey a dog We are a frog and a snake we are the lovemaking snailes We are highways and roads and hiking trails We are trees and traffic and towers and twins We are the spring and the longing for spring and for green We are a grey sight in black and in white We are chairs and benches and walls and fences We are gardens and houses and cars and bikes We are a spider a fish a bird and a bee We are a light window and a dark willow tree
I see us I see you I see me I am me I am you I am we
We are stairs and doors and desks and pools We are tiny planets and parks and lost spaces We are forests and lanes and far away places We are computers and engines and ovens and tools We are dinner dishes and dumplings we are flowers and fools We are pride of work and professional skills We are castles and stations and strawberry hills We are parents and grand-mas and babies and kids We are a musician a poet a friend We are lovers just married We are the beginning the end
I see us I see you I see me I am me I am you I am we
We are the young girl shaking her hair We are the lady wairing a pair of new boots We are meadows and lakes and oceans and boats We are eyes and ears and the heart that floats in a stone We are skin we are blood we are flesh we are bone We are reflections on water we are the feet in the tub We are an icecream smeared mouth and a beer-drinking pub We are the gladness of being we are the madness of seeing We are the sadness of broken and thrown away things We are flies and creatures and feathers and wings
We are a message a writing a question a cry We are laughter and wishes we are a dream and a sigh We are the places where wersquove never been We are the faces that wersquove never seen We are the hidden that yearns to be shown We are the horizon that demands to be known
I see us I see you I see me I am me I am you I am we
People donrsquot like themselves
This is the biggest problem of mankindAnd this is the very reason why people constantly hate each other
Not enough we are enemies we kill each other
We throw away our waste all over the world And we live in this garbage
Because we reduce our experience of life to a minimum to just 1 of what is possibleMain part of this 1 is that we are forced to always evaluating and thus dividingWe divide everybody and anything into poor and rich right and wrong big and smallWe are all kind of busy with evaluating and dividing We are so busy that we are incapable of perceiving all the remaining rest of 99
Every one of us is the result of trillions of years of evolution Since the first division of cell life evolved to that what we are today
Everybody of us consists of 100 trillions of cells
To imagine this instantly creates a life worth living
We have to recall our origins There are countless possibilities to do so One is to keep a diary to experience and recall the richness of life and environment

How much space needs virtuality
The thoughts about virtual spaces did not pop up nowadays There have always been dreams and visions as essen-tial part of our existence Not only buildings are emerging by coming out of virtual thoughts out of our dreams As well it was the precondition for our belief in superior environments drawn fotographed filmed or software-ge-nerated We always wanted to escape from this (hellip) reality and today we have the tools for this As well we have in this space the possibility of ldquobeing with othersrdquo and being able to share space or information with others So space is something which is to define in a new sense
How does that influence us and where are the additional values for our human existence Virtual space in a for-mer sense could provide spiritual qualities emerging out of a dream that an artist has showing an utopian ideal So Breughel 1562 created his painting of the Tower of Babel It was a mental space ndash drawn with traditional media oil paint on wooden panel How could we provide with our new media additional or spiritual values The new vir-tual space which does not has to follow the rules of the physical world gives totally other opportunities So far we do create therein a new reality an alternative reality which we use and which we got used to
The boarders between the ldquotwo realitiesrdquo become blurred according Virilios statement already in 1984 bdquoIn fact since the originary enclosures the concept of boundary has undergone numerous changes as regards both the facade and the neighborhood it fronts From the palisade to the screen by way of ramparts the boundary-surface has recorded innumerable perceptible and imperceptible transformationsldquo
Now - nearly thirty years later he seems to be right ndash the boundaries of space IS rapt down the virtual space over-takes or performs a new reality giving us artists and architects unexpected opportunities

We are the land and the shore and the earth from above We are nature and art and a present of love We are stone and water and fire and ice We are desert and sand We are a streetmusic band We are suns and clouds and milky skies We are moons and stars and lullabies We are toys and dolls and shady ground We are voices and music and silence and sound
I see us I see you I see me I am me I am you I am we
We are small things and big life We are a cat a reptile a dunkey a dog We are a frog and a snake we are the lovemaking snailes We are highways and roads and hiking trails We are trees and traffic and towers and twins We are the spring and the longing for spring and for green We are a grey sight in black and in white We are chairs and benches and walls and fences We are gardens and houses and cars and bikes We are a spider a fish a bird and a bee We are a light window and a dark willow tree
I see us I see you I see me I am me I am you I am we
We are stairs and doors and desks and pools We are tiny planets and parks and lost spaces We are forests and lanes and far away places We are computers and engines and ovens and tools We are dinner dishes and dumplings we are flowers and fools We are pride of work and professional skills We are castles and stations and strawberry hills We are parents and grand-mas and babies and kids We are a musician a poet a friend We are lovers just married We are the beginning the end

We are the young girl shaking her hair We are the lady wairing a pair of new boots We are meadows and lakes and oceans and boats We are eyes and ears and the heart that floats in a stone We are skin we are blood we are flesh we are bone We are reflections on water we are the feet in the tub We are an icecream smeared mouth and a beer-drinking pub We are the gladness of being we are the madness of seeing We are the sadness of broken and thrown away things We are flies and creatures and feathers and wings
We are a message a writing a question a cry We are laughter and wishes we are a dream and a sigh We are the places where wersquove never been We are the faces that wersquove never seen We are the hidden that yearns to be shown We are the horizon that demands to be known

People donrsquot like themselves
This is the biggest problem of mankindAnd this is the very reason why people constantly hate each other
Not enough we are enemies we kill each other
We throw away our waste all over the world And we live in this garbage
Because we reduce our experience of life to a minimum to just 1 of what is possibleMain part of this 1 is that we are forced to always evaluating and thus dividingWe divide everybody and anything into poor and rich right and wrong big and smallWe are all kind of busy with evaluating and dividing We are so busy that we are incapable of perceiving all the remaining rest of 99
Every one of us is the result of trillions of years of evolution Since the first division of cell life evolved to that what we are today
Everybody of us consists of 100 trillions of cells
To imagine this instantly creates a life worth living
We have to recall our origins There are countless possibilities to do so One is to keep a diary to experience and recall the richness of life and environment

How much space needs virtuality
The thoughts about virtual spaces did not pop up nowadays There have always been dreams and visions as essen-tial part of our existence Not only buildings are emerging by coming out of virtual thoughts out of our dreams As well it was the precondition for our belief in superior environments drawn fotographed filmed or software-ge-nerated We always wanted to escape from this (hellip) reality and today we have the tools for this As well we have in this space the possibility of ldquobeing with othersrdquo and being able to share space or information with others So space is something which is to define in a new sense
How does that influence us and where are the additional values for our human existence Virtual space in a for-mer sense could provide spiritual qualities emerging out of a dream that an artist has showing an utopian ideal So Breughel 1562 created his painting of the Tower of Babel It was a mental space ndash drawn with traditional media oil paint on wooden panel How could we provide with our new media additional or spiritual values The new vir-tual space which does not has to follow the rules of the physical world gives totally other opportunities So far we do create therein a new reality an alternative reality which we use and which we got used to
The boarders between the ldquotwo realitiesrdquo become blurred according Virilios statement already in 1984 bdquoIn fact since the originary enclosures the concept of boundary has undergone numerous changes as regards both the facade and the neighborhood it fronts From the palisade to the screen by way of ramparts the boundary-surface has recorded innumerable perceptible and imperceptible transformationsldquo
Now - nearly thirty years later he seems to be right ndash the boundaries of space IS rapt down the virtual space over-takes or performs a new reality giving us artists and architects unexpected opportunities

People donrsquot like themselves
This is the biggest problem of mankindAnd this is the very reason why people constantly hate each other
Not enough we are enemies we kill each other
We throw away our waste all over the world And we live in this garbage
Because we reduce our experience of life to a minimum to just 1 of what is possibleMain part of this 1 is that we are forced to always evaluating and thus dividingWe divide everybody and anything into poor and rich right and wrong big and smallWe are all kind of busy with evaluating and dividing We are so busy that we are incapable of perceiving all the remaining rest of 99
Every one of us is the result of trillions of years of evolution Since the first division of cell life evolved to that what we are today
Everybody of us consists of 100 trillions of cells
To imagine this instantly creates a life worth living
We have to recall our origins There are countless possibilities to do so One is to keep a diary to experience and recall the richness of life and environment

Welcome at a+ hellip
hellip and welcome to the exhibition of our featured artist Wolf Nkole Helzle
We are honoured to present our first artwork which links the real and the virtual world This was the idea of a+ creative space and gallery when it was started one year ago by Kai Bierich and myself ndash an interdisciplina-ry platform as a venue and meeting place for interested people exhibitions and dialogue and as an interface between real and virtual worlds We work with different artists architects and designers to bring experimen-tal projects together and using different media We organize a+ exhibitions lectures and debates We want to contribute to civil society
a+ creative space and gallery shall become a meeting point in the global village an environment and com-munity creating a mixture and a blend of the traditional and modern arts digital technologies social innova-tions and networked creativity in arts architecture design and societal change a+ creative space and gallery is coworking place ideas generator think tank enabler for managing ideas and creativity ndash a meeting point in the global village
So it is our pleasure and joy to host Wolf Nkole Helzle his project I am we_interactive image and the rela-tional artifacts from users of his work all over the world Wolf as a person and his global social media art represents everything which I had in my mind when we founded a+ - a perfect merger between virtual and real Wolf is a great personcentered artist and photographer in the real world and a great creator of relati-onal products and platforms in the virtual one He is a philantrope and inspiring and shining when he can build up new relationships And he is open to every new idea in the sense of my motto ndash creativity means combining the unexpected So we developed together this unique concept of combining his digital internet artwork artifacts of the users and an international user meeting
Welcome again to our wonderful venue in Stuttgart welcome to this great real exhibition in the real world with its strong roots in the virtual world We are looking forward to built up new flourishing real and virtual relationships worldwide to become part of a playful global consciousness
How much space needs virtuality
The thoughts about virtual spaces did not pop up nowadays There have always been dreams and visions as essen-tial part of our existence Not only buildings are emerging by coming out of virtual thoughts out of our dreams As well it was the precondition for our belief in superior environments drawn fotographed filmed or software-ge-nerated We always wanted to escape from this (hellip) reality and today we have the tools for this As well we have in this space the possibility of ldquobeing with othersrdquo and being able to share space or information with others So space is something which is to define in a new sense
How does that influence us and where are the additional values for our human existence Virtual space in a for-mer sense could provide spiritual qualities emerging out of a dream that an artist has showing an utopian ideal So Breughel 1562 created his painting of the Tower of Babel It was a mental space ndash drawn with traditional media oil paint on wooden panel How could we provide with our new media additional or spiritual values The new vir-tual space which does not has to follow the rules of the physical world gives totally other opportunities So far we do create therein a new reality an alternative reality which we use and which we got used to
The boarders between the ldquotwo realitiesrdquo become blurred according Virilios statement already in 1984 bdquoIn fact since the originary enclosures the concept of boundary has undergone numerous changes as regards both the facade and the neighborhood it fronts From the palisade to the screen by way of ramparts the boundary-surface has recorded innumerable perceptible and imperceptible transformationsldquo
Now - nearly thirty years later he seems to be right ndash the boundaries of space IS rapt down the virtual space over-takes or performs a new reality giving us artists and architects unexpected opportunities
