tattooed pigs

the belgian conceptual artist Wim Delvoye has been tattooing pigs since the 1990s. In the early 21st century a tattooed pig project was set up in the Art Farm in China, where there are fewer structures regarding animal welfare than in most parts of the Western world. visit his website and see the pictures of tatooed pigs and the art farm to find out what his great idea is all about.

let's talk about sex

you have some questions about sex? here we go. we had a special interview with the guys from sexandzaziki a online soap opera produced by students. if you want to know what it's all about, check out the interview:

tdr: what is sexandzaziki?

saz: sexandzaziki is the first soap made by men focused on the problems of men. it tells the story of the guys alex, pino and daniel who have to fight the typical problems in life. sex, parties and women are topics such as empty pockets, failed dates and lovesickness . if you want to see golden credit cards and guys who look spick and span you should better go on to watch the daily crap on tv. we show life how it is, tell stories men can identify themselves with. which is not less interesting for women... i guess.

tdr: who is sexandzaziki?

saz: alex perschel (founder, actor), sascha jenschewski klose (camera, cut), pino (actor), daniel merdan (actor), stefanie schmidt (make-up), marc kurtenbach (audio, technics), markus k. jaskolski (audio, technics).

sascha jenschewski @ work


tdr: how did it start?

saz: it started more or less with having a beer together. we had the idea to show men in the wild, rough and uncut. you can see daily soaps which show rich people in fancy cars having problems with their topmodel-girlfriends, but that's not real. in life you have to struggle with empty pockets, being left alone, cutting a date off because you have to take a shit or nothing happens.

tdr: what's next?

saz: we just started this. our motivation was just fun but now the demand is high. so we have to give everything now. time can only tell where we gonna be with sexandzaziki in the future. but we're loaded with life ammunition. so you better watch out for more sex and zaziki!

tdr: thanks for the interview.

what's your flava?

mad flava entertainment is an institution when it comes to that true, original hip hop sound. they had a long way to go but now mad flava is made up of 3 sections: the street and onlinestore with over 5000 products is still the base of it all. Furthermore they organised (and still do) hip hop events in germany with a lot of big names like dilated people, Jeru the damaja, pete rock, dj premiere, guru, masta ace, talib kweli and so on. and last but not least they founded a record label which should give upcoming artist a better chance to emerge.

what is rave?

want to know what rave really means - ask wikipedia!

"a rave (or rave party) is an all-night dance event where DJs and other performers play rave music and other types of electronic dance music for dancers, with the accompaniment of colored lights, projected images, and laser effects. popular rave dance styles include breakdancing, popping and locking, glowsticking, liquid dancing, and poi. rave parties are often associatated with the use of "club drugs" such as ecstasy, methamphetamine, and ketamine..."
