There is something about Friday the 13th you could say because the majority of this week’s events is taking place on that day. This would be a perfect candidate for a scandalous cover story: One night – TEN parties, haha! Anyone interested? Find out how to spend the week and what all the options are for Friday after the jump…

Helloooo 2012. We were thinking a lot if we should do a 2011 recap or a 2012 forecast. But, frankly I’ve seen quite enough of these on the big wide interdolly and I want to spare you yet another. So let’s get 2012 rolling with our event of the first week. We have the usual mix of art, movies, parties and other opportunities for a fun night after the jump.

I can’t tell you how happy I am how the whole GIF. ME. BERLIN. exhibition project has been going so far. So many people came to the opening on Wednesday at HBC and the responses to our little installation was really great. On the next day the online exhibition went live in our virtual gallery and at the smart urban stage magazine and I think our GIFs really look amazing together.
At the night of the exhibition there was one feeling that was quite strong for me (apart from the relief that we have made it all happen): Gratitude! I’m so grateful for all the help and support I got for this project. So I would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone.
First of all a big thank you to the smart urban stage magazine who made it at all possible for this to be a live event. Secondly the .HBC, especially Nico, who was once again an awesome host and supporter of my idea. Then I would like to thank all of the 12 photographers, artists and designers who submitted amazing GIFs! And my dear exhibition team Lia, Claudio and Nathan, you were great! And also our helpers Archer, Jesus, Filipe, Dina and Christophe. My sister Susanne for her awesome cupcakes and finger food. Absolut for their delicious flavoured vodka. Crap = Good for bringing their mechanical GIF Player and Loopcam for hosting our GIF Photobox (the results you can see here). And last but not least all of you people who came to the opening, checked out the online exhibition and wrote about it in your publications. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

After last night’s amazing opening event of GIF. ME. BERLIN. at HBC our exhibition of animated GIFs from 12 Berlin-based photographers showing their vision of the future is now online in the iHeartBerlin virtual gallery and also as part of an article for the smart urban stage magazine about the future of urban living. Enjoy!
In the cold Christmas time knitting is one of the favourite hobbies of our grannies. But instead of socks and scarfs today’s knitters and crocheters are more inclined to its modern form. Urban knitting is one of the most incredible trends of the digital decade. No other housewife craftmanships has become as prominent in the street art scene and more discussed in blogs and social media as knitting and crocheting. The smart-urban-stage.com magazine has created an interesting challenge between graphic design guru Mario Lombardo who asked several urban knitters and chrochet artist to create a new surface for the city of the future. Look at some of the amazing art pieces here and vote here for the best answer.

It has somehow become a little bit of a tradition for us to do an event for the Christmas. This year we have a very special gif(t) for our readers: A big group exhibition of animated GIFs titled GIF. ME. BERLIN.
Animated GIFs have turned into quite a movement on blogs and tumblrs all over the internet this year. With our animated party photos we also had a lot of fun with this old and dusty image format that was developed in 1987 as the first digital file format for color images.
On December 14th we are taking the animated GIF out of the internet and put it into a live exhibition at the .HBC Kino. We asked 11 talented Berlin-based photographers and artists to show us and our collaborating media partner smart urban stage their vision of the future in the form of an animated GIF. The results are as diverse and impressive as the artists themselves.
At the event we will not only show you the artwork, but we will also pamper you with drinks by Absolut Vodka, our famous delicious cupcakes and fingerfood and music by DJs Eliza Foxxx and Hara Katsiki. And as a special treat we will give you the chance to turn into an amazing GIF yourself in the GIF Photo Box. A little preview of the exhibition, the full line-up of photographers and artists, and all the details after the jump.
