Tonight I will be legendary and I swear to escalate everything.

Read moreThis is what Straftanz was about.
We never answered, no matter how often we were asked. The question is the most obvious one and yet we never publicly talked about it and never planned to. But due to recent events we decided to break the myth and resolve the riddle: What does STRAFTANZ actually mean? It was 2006 and we were [...]
Read more168 hours. We still want you.
I was astonished. I didn’t really expect anything to happen, as the idea for this was very much a shot in the dark and felt pretty much far out. On the far out part we were actually wrong. After we asked people to apply for an internship at our project two weeks ago, we got [...]

The method (see pictures) to associate cyber people with Nazis was additionally unsettling, so [...]
