Hello castle friends,

by now for the 12th time we invite you once
again to enjoy our fully-packed magazine. Even this time we show
the best from the world of illustration plus a bunch of great stuff
from the art- and designscene. We asked some interesting guys
some interesting questions and show our section for the special
elements - experiments or slightly mad things and more.

Lay back and enjoy more than 100 pages of inspiring material.

Bigbrotherstate is an educational film about what politicians claim
to be protection of our freedom,but what we refer to as repressive legislation.

Since terrorism has become a global threat, especially after 9/11
governments all over the world have started enforcing laws which,
so the governments say, should increase national security.

These laws obviously aim at another goal:

the states gaining more and more control of the citizens
at the cost of our privacy and freedom.

«Combit» ist ein Schriftsystem, bestehend aus 30 Modulen
das auf der modernen Interpretation einer gebrochenen Schrift,
der Schwabacher, basiert.

Diese Elemente können individuell kombiniert werden und ergeben
dabei immer neue Glyphen-Variationen, die sowohl den Stil des
Künstlers transportieren, als auch immer als Combit-Komposition
erkennbar sein werden.

Ziel ist zum einen eine Bereicherung des Streetart durch ein
Texttool, das in seiner Formensprache die überwiegend
bildhafte Darstellungsweise der Streetart aufgreift und ergänzt.

Zum anderen soll die individuelle Anwendung, das Experiment und
die Fortsetzung der Entwicklung des Schriftsystems und seiner
Elemente durch die Streetartists selbst fortgeführt werden.

Der städtische Lebensraum bietet hierfür die passende
Umgebung,den Dingen ihren Lauf zu lassen. Darüber hinaus
soll die Kommunikation im urbanen Raum gefördert werden.

Kernelement der Aktion ist die Website
