WERKSTAETTEN FUER EXPERIMENTELLE KUNST
Experimental Art Labs
(#2)
-- mission statement --
* ExperimentAL is an independent and strictly anti-profit
enterprise, which is dedicated to what can be briefly summarized as
THE RESISTANCE OF THE SPIRIT (#1).
ExperimentAL Art isn't anything you'll see in a museum.
It is, however, closely related to what used to be called
Opus Magna, the Great Work, and also Magick, the Art of Life.
The Method is science at its best: the Art of Experiment. But -
unlike science, which has decayed to merely investigating how a few
certain things work - ExAL, like everyone else on the Path (#6) also
keeps asking which things to explore, and why, and what for.
* Experimental working hypothesis:
- No Work can be called Great, if it does not encompass a fair
share of the bodhisattvas'(#3) job, which is to liberate oneself
and assist in the liberation of all sentient beings; to Increase
Intelligence, in other words (#5)
* Experimental Means to achieve this goal consist - generally -
mainly in raising awareness through seeking and transmitting
knowledge, in whatever form appropriate, the triggering of certain
experiences, and a good part of not-doing (#4).
this includes, but is not limited to:
* teaching
* project McCopies & D.Stribute (#7) (a nice collection of
very diverse records, tapes, cds, dvds, videos, books,
pictures, and files - which nearly all have some mind-
expanding qualities, and which are gladly made available
to interested people -- here's the beginning of an
index of my media-collection and my contributions to u-tube
* project Tibetan Mint (1980-1990, into growing, genetics,
chemistry & folk-medicinal use of the famed Tibetan Mint,
still the most powerful remedy known against stress and
aggressiveness)
* project Teonanacatl, Vienna, 1982-1992
* project Teonanacatl Astoria Ossip, worldwide, 1995-1999
* participation in and co-organisation of various ceremonies
and TaroT-seminars (1984-)
* dadataoistic performances for amuse-, amaze- & enlightenment (#8)
* and, last but not least, support of others with compatible
goals, among these: (all non-profit, of course)

thing, which, nevertheless does tend to amaze people - just try it!
