flux.vision, tobias.raayoni-last.com and randogoth.com. They were one site until October 2026, serving four audiences from a single dated list, which is the only format that can hold unrelated things at once. flux.vision is recovered from the Wayback Machine, where it had sat since being deleted in 2021: 90 articles, closed and maintained rather than updated. tobias.raayoni-last.com is the professional record, 97 articles back to 1999. randogoth.com is the technical work, 41 articles across six areas, served as an ANSI bulletin board. History starts here deliberately. The development history, the 266-row inventory that records why each article went where it did, the Wayback pipelines, the pruned articles, the source archives and the full-size images are kept beside the repo rather than in it, so a clone is the web presence and not the argument that produced it. REFACTOR.md is gitignored for the same reason. See README.md for where that material lives, and keep it: the sort is not reproducible from these three directories alone. Each site documents itself in its own README, including the traps that cost time and look like nothing when you get them wrong.

What started as a self organised initiative by artists to fight the
|
|
common perception of the Neukölln area as the criminal immigrant slums
|
|
of Berlin has become an insanely overcrowded mass-event.
|
|
|
|
This year the program offered 600 events in around 340 places!
|
|
|
|
<!-- PELICAN_END_SUMMARY -->Fortunately the [festival's
|
|
website](http://48-stunden-neukoelln.de) is quite well structured and
|
|
the visitor can filter and sort all events depending on taste, time and
|
|
interests - but it needs at least half an hour to get a rough overview
|
|
of what's going on up to a finalized list of marked events that one can
|
|
print out together with a convenient map.
|
|
|
|
I was mainly interested in video-art, mixed media performances,
|
|
photography and film, so after fiddling with the favorites list and the
|
|
usual printer annoyances i was ready to leave.
|
|
|
|
My first stop on Friday night was the Die Asporas exhibition at
|
|
[bauer&ewald](http://bauerundewald.com/), a neat showcase of young
|
|
Israeli artists with interesting drawings, prints, paintings and
|
|
photographs, some reflecting on the emigration to Germany. Nothing too
|
|
special for my taste but a nice atmosphere with a DJ playing popular
|
|
Israeli music, the usual Tel Aviv hipster crowd and cheap booze at the
|
|
bar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I went on to Weserstr. where literally thousands of people were on the
|
|
street, drinking and enjoying the warm evening. My initial motivation to
|
|
see as many exhibitions as possible faded away instantly considering
|
|
having to fight my way through the crowd of young artsy scene bonanza.
|
|
|
|
I stopped at [O.T. Projektraum](http://otprojectspace.wordpress.com/)
|
|
because I was interested in seeing the black and white super8 flick
|
|
"[Bad Luck City](https://vimeo.com/35027068)" but unfortunately there
|
|
wasn't any film projector around. Instead i saw the screening of a short
|
|
film of the same artist [Aaike Stuart](http://www.aaikestuart.com)
|
|
called "In Character" about a male man wandering along the city,
|
|
performing simple everyday tasks like making a phone call or throwing
|
|
away trash.

|
|
|
|
I enjoyed the beautifully shot and edited images in the dark back-room
|
|
of O.T. having a break from the loudness out on the street. There was
|
|
also another nice short film by the same artist, called "Holidays in
|
|
Geneva" played on a TV set in the quite small hallway in front of the
|
|
bathroom.

|
|
|
|
My next destination was [Das Gift](http://dasgift.tumblr.com) to see a
|
|
video installation, but again there were too many people in front of the
|
|
bar and through the windows i could only see a projection of this nights
|
|
UEFA football match, so i didn't even bother to peek inside.
|
|
|
|
After seeing that the next two venues in Donaustrasse also just screened
|
|
football I ditched my map and printout plan and went straight to Café
|
|
Engels near Tempelhofer Feld in the Schillerkiez where I met some
|
|
friends. I spent the rest of the evening there drinking beer and
|
|
chatting and enjoying the warm vibes.
