The Third Arm

Johanna Thompson tells me she has seen Automatenhilfe in Frankfurt and in Friedrichstrasse. We were arranging to meet an exhibition last week; she sent me an e-mail about Stelarc who does work on zombies and cyborgs:

Stelarc is very funny, an Australian artist, who has the most amazing
laughter I ever heard....
he used to suspend himself between high buildings using meathooks, but later
got into using technology to achieve closeness without proximity, a very
attractive concept I remember thinking.
This was in the 90s, maybe times have changed and cyborg-expectations have
been modyfied and became Automatenhilfe. What a surprising development, in a
way!
Here is Stelarc's site

I don't know why I keep talking about him...he became important to me
somehow....like a pet rock...

But it will be reported

Johanna has come to my rescue with T-Com. She went to a T-Punkt and asked about my phone. I have not, it seems, cancelled my account in a moment of unjustified faith in my ability to deal with German bureaucracy. They did something or other about the reported Störung on the 18th; now they are on strike. They MAY do something next week, but they are not making any promises.

WHEN IT IS RECTIFIED. IS ANYONES GUESS. BUT IT WILL BE REPORTED.
