We’ve waited a long time and you sure did wait a long time, too. But here it is. A bit later than expected and promised in the first place, but good things like wine take time.
Palomar5 – The movie is a 60-minute documentary about what happened at the Palomar5 camp, a residency program which took place during six weeks in fall 2009 in Berlin. Using a holistic approach, Palomar5 seeked out the most visionary young people internationally and then assembled them to inspire each other naturally. A highly selective application process aimed to bring together a sensible mix of nationalities, genders, and professions to create a diverse and nascent network of movers and shakers from all kinds of backgrounds with a broad variety of skills and interests. The overall objective was to design and construct new working environments that satisfy and accommodate the skills and needs of the digital generation.
What made the innovation format of Palomar5 special, that in order to work out questions, a creative space (a 2000sqm factory building) was created in which a multidisciplinary network actually lived and validated the solutions it was working on – like in an ongoing field trial.
But see for yourselves. The full movie, split in 2 parts, is now available on our site or on a our fancy Vimeo profile.
Here’s the trailer:
At this very place we’d like to shout out once again a big thanks to Deutsche Telekom, our main partner in 2009, for allowing this to happen and a big hug and thank you to our filmmaker and editor Patricia Günther, who accompanied most parts of the camp and made this movie possible.

Happy new year. So this is it. Twentyten. Sounds promising already, ain’t it?
2009 was a great year, hell yes it was. We dreamt and we planned, we laughed and we cried, we failed and we succeeded… but after all we moved things. We could feel change happening. Not by proxy, but in the palms of our very hands. The buzzing in our fingertips, it was called joy. And be sure, it felt so good… almost addicting.
This is why we’d like to share once again what we’ve experienced so far. Where photos obviously lack the dimension of sound and motion and somehow fail to really tell what the Palomar5 camp was all about, we’re glad to show you a movie. Completely aware that 65.000 realtime minutes condensed in 60 movie minutes still circumsize way too many nuances, this is the closest we can get to the real thing.
Mid of January 2010, you will be able to watch “Palomar5 in 2009 – The Movie” at this very place – for free and in HD quality (if you have broadband). Follow us on twitter, facebook or rss our blog to get updated immediately once the movie is out.

So this is the new year. Twentyten. And we’re back to work.
Yours, optimism and daringness is contagious, Palomar5.

Working only on computers limits our thinking, Computers are linear, hierarchical and ineffiecient, bring functions into physical space, saves time, makes life easier, systems quicker and more efficient. Dada technology is a manifesto highlighting the need for physical interfaces, both from a human, and organisational perspective. Within this frame, we will develop ideas for how physical interfaces can be used for more effective and human computer use.

Current media landscapes are increasingly becoming overloaded with information and data. As the digital environment becomes more ubiqitous, this tide is unlikely to stop. Secondly, data still remains segmented and indecipherable for the user. The amateur does not have the tools or capacity to understand and tell stories within this environment. Vision: Storytelling is evolving and needs reinventing once again. We want to allow people to make stories using the information rich data that is currently available and will continue to grow. We want to bring emotion to data. We want to provide a means by which users can effectively search, collect, remix and distribute data/information and in so doing, allow them to tell compelling digital stories.

Total Honesty is about understanding that communicating our judgements can be a means to build, not destroy.
The gap between PERCEPTION and REALITY presents both an opportunity and a catastrophy. The degree to which you are willing to communicate with a person is the degree to which you are willing to include them. All problems in human society, if not directly caused by poor communication, are aggrivated by it.
We can’t stop ourselves from passing judgments, but we can at least try to understand why we came to those conclusions in the first place.
Total Honesty began as an offer of total honesty in exchange for a token amount of money. In its current incarnation, the exchange of money has been replaced with the accountability of an audience. As difficult as it is to face total honesty from a stranger, friend or acquaintance, it is even more difficult to face your own judgments, and attempt to express them to the judged. In front of an audience, guests volunteer to come on stage in a daytime talk-show setting and have the “host” tell the exactly what s/he thinks of them. “Bullshit Detectors” are invited to challenge the host on her/his perceptions of the guest, providing alternative viewpoints on the impressions. Both speaker and listener are forced to confront their perceptions with the reality presented by others. Through this, some kind of honesty can be found.

Young people have little vision, direction, motivation, role models. The media does not offer them positive messages. This is why King Arthur’s Table mixes style with substance, establishes a global media platform to inspire young people with alternative paths, gives them greater goals and vision, and encourages them to make the most of their lives.

The Show Me Love Lab is a platform and creative lab that offers interactive experiences to explore how we understand love and how we understand work. By juxtaposing two concepts that are integral to how we live our lives, we challenge our individual values, behaviors, and dreams. We create digital arts and haptical technologies-driven projects guided by expert- and community-sourced theories of love and work. The ultimate aim of the Show Me Love Lab is to question how we currently define work and to shape how we choose to work in the future.

We think that access to information in a human right, however, the reality is that 4 out of 5 people do not have internet access. The Samara Network (Space Camp) will fill in the coverage gap with a network of satellites, ground stations, and inexpensive handsets. The idea is not new, but the perspective is: communication no longer comes at a cost. 5 billion disconnected people will have equal access to a ubiquitous, free, and reliable information service.
