The system was ori- ginally adapted to meet the efficiency and style demands of a modern African consumer. It is designed to match the needs and economic resources that we believe exist in small-scale economies. The orange biogas plant produces biogas from organic materials, such as human and animal stools. For a modest sum, a family will be able to.

    Superflex Keynote Speech: If Value, Then Copy* INTRODUCTION TO SUPERFLEX Good afternoon, I hope that you are enjoying your meal and I thank the waiters and waitresses who are serving us, and the cooks in the back. Good afternoon, I am Anupam Chander. I am Director of the California International Law Center, and I am a law professor here at UC Davis. I am speaking to you on behalf of Mario Biagioli and Madhavi Sunder, my colleagues at the University of California, Davis, and also on behalf of the UC Davis Law Review. I welcome you to a keynote address for our conference titled “Brand New World: Discovering Oneself in the Global Flow.” We are delighted today to welcome Rasmus Nielsen of the internationally renowned artist-group called “Superflex.” Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Superflex consists of Jakob Fenger, Bjørnsterne Christiansen, and Rasmus who have been collaborating together since 1993. It is hard to do justice to the work of Superflex as the range of their work is nothing less than astonishing, from creating a brand of power-drinks for an Amazonian tribe in Brazil to a television series in Vietnam on Dutch Pirates of the seventeenth century who stole a * Transcript of keynote speech by Rasmus Nielsen at the UC Davis Law Review’s Brand New World symposium, UC Davis School of Law, October 4, 2012. 735 736 University of California, Davis [Vol. 47:735 treasure trove of Southeast Asian porcelain.

  • Actualisation of Space: the Case of Oda Projesi
    10 2004 Actualisation of Space: The Case of Oda Projesi Maria Lind A long, high­ceilinged room with small trees in boxes in the middle. The walls are punctuated by doors and windows, on all three storeys of the building. Here and there shoes are outside the doors and you glimpse curtains through the windows. One or two pushchairs are parked beside the shoes. Daylight floods the space through a glass ceiling and also filters it through the glass on the short sides of the room. If it weren't for the shoes and the pushchairs you might think of a hospital, or even an American­style prison. In the middle of the room a group of men play Turkish music on instruments, others dance. A little girl, dressed in yellow, attracts attention to herself as she dances an elegant solo. Tinkles of laughter. Suddenly a roll of paper is dropped from a balcony, winding down like a great snake, and some children begin to draw on it. The location is a passage and a gathering place in Galeriahaus, a block of flats in Messestadt Riem in the outskirts of Munich. The occasion is one of many modest events that Oda Projesi organised during their visit there in spring 2003. Just as the name indicates ('oda' means room/space and 'projesi' project in Turkish), the point of departure of Oda Projesi's work is space; how one can create and recreate different places and spatial situations through using them in a number of different ways. For example, how, together with various groups of people, can you find new functions for a public space such as a square? Or an empty space in a flat? Or an architect­designed passage like the atrium in Galeriahaus, which was closed by the authorities to non­residents and forbidden as a play area? The three artists, Özge Acikkol, Gunes Savas and Secil Yersel, have been working together since 1997.
