Re: <nettime> Bankers on ecstasy (but is the party over?)

[Andreas Broeckmann <ab@mikro.in-berlin.de>]

just an aside: the artist Simon Denny participates in this year's 9th 
Berlin Biennial with a three-part installation; each part looks like (or 
rather, is) a trade fare-style booth for a company that is in the 
crypto-currency business (Ethereum, 21 Inc, and Digital Asset Holdings); 
together with an Ex-GDR postage stamp designer, Denny also designed 
ficticious stamps for these companies. I took a picture of Denny 
explaining the Etherium set-up during the opening days, two weeks before 
reality kicking in on Etherium. (In the background you can see part of 
the equally utopian socialist wall decoration in the hall of the former 
government building, Staatsratsgebäude, that faces the equally virtual 
reconstruction site of the Prussian royal palace...)
