The I has no sense for community or scale. My lifestyle is none of your business? Oh, it is indeed, because my lifestyle is not unique, it’s just individual. The I refuses to realise, that billions of I’s make a mess.

“A mess of humans” is a perfect collective noun for us.

Work on the script for video #5 has begun. I will talk about gardens and some paintings, but mainly about the illusion that is individuality.

Western civilisation invented a religion and the god we worship is: I.

I’m posting in my native German and in English, because my videos are in English and I need to practice it.

Vielleicht schaust Du gerade, was für ein Account das hier ist.

Dies ist der Eurosky-Account von @muellermanfred.bsky.social – habe mich gegen einen Umzug und für das Anlegen eines zweiten Accounts entschieden. Nur für den Fall, dass BlueSky auch vor die Hunde geht oder Eurosky ’ne Luftnummer ist.

BRIDGES - Crossing Streams In 5 Artworks (2020-2021) YouTube video by Made With Brains

Why are they green?

You never stop learning:

Despite 40+ years experience in writing, storytelling for videos is a totally different ballgame. While cutting, the script needs to adapt to reflect changes. Sometimes new ideas pop up on the fly, sometimes stories can’t be told the right way without proper images.

Yesterday’s lesson: If you want to use story clips out of your deleted Instagram account, prepare to adjust frame rates, extract the audio, save as .wav, adjust volume and noise, convert sample rates and replace the original audio. Before you cut. To avoid manual synchronisation. Lesson: learned.

Putting the land into the artwork, painting with dirt and sand – an interesting experience, culminating in a fascinating crossover of architectural modelling and home renovation.
