"I see this crisis in a continuous way, the world is constantly in a 
crisis, I formulate this as ‘cultural epileptiscm’ [3], that is that 
humans tend to loose themselves into extremes, whether these being 
emotional or rational. The last century is exemplary for this."

"Something that was widely expected is happening, even is the 
acceleration of the economic crisis (and not only financial) is pressing 
everything against a striking evidence. Resources for culture are about 
to be drastically cut. And a large part of the professional setups based 
on public sibsides risks disappearance."

"lifestyle is in itself a part of the unavoidable speculative process of 
turbocapitalism, in which cool hunters understand the languages of the 
scenes to transform them into a banal aesthetization that can be sold 
for a couple of years. A lemon squeezer for cultural production where 
the experience of the sublime, the sense of disaster, the impact of 
deflagration, the elimination of the roots, the collapse of the future, 
disperse themselves in a sterile pantomime that is constructed in a 
laboratory, and makes me throw up."

The second phase of "Interviewing the Crisis" begins with the interviews 
with Francesco "Warbear" Macarone Palmieri, Andreas Jacobs and Carlo 
Infante.

Three different points of view on the international crisis, engaging 
innovation, new media related practices, network culture, research on 
bodies, genders, social relations, empathy and connectedness. From 
public institutions to our bodies, in the globally evolving scenario.
