Time for some art, folks.

Christoph Steinbrener and Rainer Dempf
made the Neubaugasse yellow. A huge piece of Art was created, with making every logo and every sign, every writing nearly completely disappear behind the colour yellow. It is a weird thing to walk down the street without knowing which store is selling those uber trendy fashion things, who is selling the same things a few houses further down the street. Of course you could easily find out the names, if you look a bit closer at the taped over logos and company names.

Not only was i amazed by the weirdness of being surrounded by yellow duct tape, but i found a few more or less funny messages scribbled down on the yellow-ness.

“Blue would have been nicer”
Well, probably. according to the nice and friendly girl sitting in the information box (i call it a box. it looks like one.) yellow is a colour that wont be a synonym for anything, or at least not a total obvious one. No colour of a political party, or anything like that. Plus, you can still see through the duct tape. With black duct tape it would have been a little bit more difficult, besides of giving the whole project a undeserved sadness.

“I need consumer information!!
Argh…”
Okay, there might be a better translation of “

    Aimee, thank you for the link.

    i was trying not to be positive or too negative about it. my personal opinion is somewhere between: WTF? and “oh well..” :)
