121 is the number of communication. On each side sits a single indivi-
dual and in the middle a meaning is projected in between them. The
meaning is greater than the individual. In the most literal english terms
one may refer to it as “one-two-one” or “one to one”.

11 is a master number representing illumination and deep insight. It is
a psychic number and Thelemic for “magick” The magical and spiritual
significance of sound is highly documented throughout all spiritual
doctrines as the material that connects us all. This piece is a direct
transmission from one person to another, namely the viewer. Vocalisations are recorded over eleven tracks to make one chord and then
mixed with itself eleven times to make a new chord of 121 voices (11 x 11 = 121).

The background represents the communicator obscured to be less important than the message itself. The 121 chord comes from him. 3 Japanese Maneki Neko cats float in space. The number 3 represents socially active expression. They optimistically beckon for luck, in this case that the message is received, understood, and that there will be a positive discourse thereof. Code moves through the screen turning the wheel of Dharma with Tibetan Buddhist mantras.

Nach dem Bürgerentscheid am 13. Juli 2008 – 87 % gegen Mediaspree –
waren wir rund 15 Monate im Sonderausschuss Spreeraum in Verhand-
lungen mit dem Bezirk. Die erreichten Planungsänderungen bedeuten
noch keinen Richtungwechsel, die Forderungen gelten weiterhin: 50
Meter Mindestabstand für Neubauten zum Spreeufer, keine neuen
Hochhäuser und Autobrücken! Für eine alternative, soziale und öko-
logische Stadtentwicklung, in der sich viele engagieren können und
nicht nur wenige Bauspekulanten! Kein Verkauf der landeseigenen
Grundstücke! (aus ms-versenken.org/​)
