Mission Statement

Identity, so it seems, wants to be fastened to symbols. Symbols - stories of representation.

It is inherent to the human condition to be preoccupied by the urge to establish signs and signals impelled with a strong sensory mode.

What irritation it must have been, when David Byrne shouted "stop making sense". This was long ago and every one of us was somehow glad, that "sniper alley" was located in some other, distant town. How time passes, and one asks on occasion "what is there to do?" Exactly such occured for example on the 19th of October 2002 in the Swiss Jura. A somewhat remote locale. This had its` reprecussions, which I have seriously take to heart. It is this of which the story is about.

I invited people round the world, to build a piece of "virtual Switzerland" with the "Mont Blanc" by Joerg Vogeltanz. To proofe once gain: identity? The national? nationalism?
