So here is a clue. #reMERZ is an online/offline project. During December I'll perform reMERZ poems live - in Twitter Spaces (audio only), Youtube Live, Instagram Live, TikTok live and probably some 3D chatrooms. Unscheduled. Sudden. Hic&Hoc. Pay attention to this monitor image.

Neuer Digitalkunst-Sektor in Miami: Rückkehr der Totgesagten
Nach dem NFT-Hype kommt das Comeback: Die Art Basel / Miami Beach eröffnet erstmals den digitalen Sektor "Zero10". Bringt das echte Disruption – oder zähmt der Markt nur das nächste Trendmedium?
