The waves become calmer and fewer. Listen carefully, you can feel the difference. We are approaching our destination. The air is clear and unradiated. We call the birds and the sun NATURE and the mobile data CULTURE and then we love one and despise the other. The sun does its thing as it always has and does not allow itself to be taken over by digital platform capitalism. The birds don't expect an answer from me after tweeting and that's precisely why I answer the cuckoo with joy every time. We are here in a moment, in the beautiful and good, the old and pure, the genuine and unadulterated, the natural, the normal.
“Our beautiful Saxony” are three bicycle tours as part of “THE ART OF STAYING MANY” by the Fonds Darstellende Künste, which lead from Dresden's Altmarkt to Saxony's funfairs. The public can ride along live on their own bikes, follow the tours on screens on the Altmarkt while enjoying pizza from Calzone Revoluzione and a cool drink, or watch and comment from the comfort of their own homes via the livestreaming video portal twitch.
The project was funded by Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media and by the Office for Culture and Monument Protection of the City of Dresden.
