The Return of the Roaring City
In collaboration with Unlocked, we explore the future of hybrid space and how the cultural sector and events industry can reap the benefits of this new urban frontier in the post-COVID city.
Learn moreWhen and why did you start blogging?
“I started blogging about street art and other kind of urban stuff in 2007 when I used to live in Vienna for a couple of months. Primarily I started blogging because of the massive creative street art works and urban interventions you discover when you walk thru your urban neighborhood. Because I was new in Vienna I spent a lot of time just walking thru the city for checking out my new neighborhood. Since then I can’t stop blogging because there is no standstill in creative use of urban public space. And I just absolutely love it!”
How would you label yourself?
“A guy with a hight urban attitude. Working as a connecter and multiplier at the cut surface of urban design, architecture and street art.”
What does your typical day look like?
“In short: While having my first coffee in the morning I check and answering my daily emails. Then take the bike to my studio which is a 5 minute ride. Once in the Frappant where I have my studio called Spacedepartment with some colleagues I try to do a quick update on my blog and check the RSS feeds of all blogs I have a subscription to for getting a dose of inspiration. After that I have time to work on my own projects I do privatly or as job and part of the spacedepartment. Right now I try to focus on my diploma thesis on the topic of urban gardening as part of public space.”
Which spot(s) would you recommend to a first-time visitor of your city?
“Just one spot? I can give you a long list of spots you have to visit when you come to Hamburg the first time. In short: Visit me at my studio and I’l show you the best places. Just one advice in advance: Visit the Reeperbahn at day time (because it’s a horrible place at night).”
What is your top 3 of favorite online sources of inspiration?
“Really hard decision! Here are some of my favorites. But I love you all out there! Rebelart.net, urbanophil.net, just.blogsport.de, popupcity.net, unurth.com.”
What shoes do you wear?
“At the moment I wear green Sneakers (Nike Air Waffle Trainer).”
