Sometimes when you dream suddenly an image or an idea comes to mind. At this moment a vision is given to you. Following the vision will clearly guide you to bring the idea to life, if you believe in it. Secondly (if the idea is extensive) you need to find the right people to help you realise your idea. All the rest is plain fun or hard work. The transmutable room installation «Cocon Blanche« at Omarillio 2008 designed and made by Ramon Grendene was one of these inexplicable moments in time. Thanks to René Krause for his helping hands, to Timm and Kai for supporting the thought and special thanks to all performers that filled the room with a delightful atmosphere. Omarillio

One of our collaborative projects is reaching for the stars again. Omarillio, is just a few steps away. Since 2007, Omarillo has been connecting creative people from diverse backgrounds, with the aim of building a common dreamland. Unlike last year, where the artists registered with scored cards, this year we asked different artists and musicians to play with us. The festival program includes concerts, performances, installations, workshops and shifting exhibitions. Plus there are 2 new handmade marquees that expand the Gaswerk area. More stages and more rooms to house the things that we do best - realizing our dreams as a shared process of being.

After one year of planning, experimenting, building and rehearsing - a new and expansive multimedia project will see the light of day. The Monoculture journey explores the phenomenon of replication and questions, where does individual liberty end and uniformity begin? In collaboration with the Deutsche National Theater Weimar this project is the diploma of Timm Burkhardt (Master Of Science YouAreWatchingUs) and Julian Hetzel (Head of the Band Pentatones).

After weeks of folding, painting and installing birds on the spot, we are finally done! The installation will be on display for the rest of the year and can either be viewed at the exhibition space Marke30773047.6 or be accessed online at the brand new website Made Dove Not War.

Recently we decided to do more small projects that can happen fast and free of outcome. This magical, shining tree, that we found during a foggy walk through the forest, is one of the first experiments. The branch hangs from the ceiling of our conference room and casts a mysterious light towards our insane ideas. (Click the Picture to see more)

A few months ago YouAreWatchingUs has been invited to join the opening of the Bauhaus-Gallery Marke30773047.6 at the Neuen Museum Weimar. We were thinking about some crazy artwork which tells something about the history of the building and we came up with Doves. Since than we are folding paper and preparing Styrodur so we can start on monday the 24th of march. We’ll tell you a lot more soon. (Click the Picture to see more)

Recently YouAreWatchingUs was invited to support the ideal fashion show for Rozalb De Mura . For the first time our scanner set-up was placed directly on stage. It was real fun to play! Hopefully also for the models and you out there. A new script allows us to integrate images right after somebody scans himself, making the interaction an even more interesting experience because people can change the projection and therefore the message in real time. We would like to thank Olah Gyarfas for his confidence and all the people at Ideal for a delightful time in Berlin. Overall our last two preENTER Sessions made us very happy because of the playful experiment. With this in mind we’re looking forward to keep developing our installation and live-performance.
