Hi Chris it's nice to hear from you.
Michael, having read all these i still want to imagine that an open space
meeting
would be possible there, sometime.
If it was an OST meeting, many people would tell that it was a show, but
still
it would have been a better show.
With the same money, they would be able to do many more ost meetings and
better
publicity.
Juliane, Chris, Michael, and everybody,
It's wonderful to discuss this event with you here in the OSList,
to be able to create a global discussion here.

Subject: Re: [Fwd: Re: an interesting meeting in Berlin]
Yesterday there were some more details about the gathering (page 3 of the
local part of the paper), today nothing, but I am sure there will be more
on the day itself.
More details_
-there will be 112 "Weise" (translation?)
-there will be 100, still "secret" questions selected by a polling with
final decision with the organizers (Allianz control...for those of you who
wonder what Allianz is, probably one of the worlds largest insurance
firms...they earn their money by betting that I will live long and me
betting that I will die soon, the odds are on their side)
-for each question there will be 3 minutes to answer (so it will take 300
minutes, 6 hours plus breaks)
-each question is answered by all 112 simultaneously in their
mothertongues (entered into 112 microphones and filmed by 112 cameras)
-the onlookers will hear almost none of this, just a murmur of 112 people
speaking simultaneously...
-two people are in the center of the arrangement and read the questions
Apart from being a fairly odd setting with no communication between the
112 or them and the crowd watching the name chosen for the setting "Runder
Tisch" demonstrates, at least for Germans and especially Berliners the
political insensitivity and historical disconnectednes of this show.
"Runder Tisch" was the setting between the Fall of the Wall and
reunification where people of all walks of life gathered and worked on
developing a culture of democratic dialogue and decision making in the
newly emerging Germany.
For the TAZ, a fairly critical paper, unlike the TS which I read
(burgeois), the whole show is a monstrous advertising campaign for Allianz
with a lot of glitz and technology...
Greetings from Berlin

Dear Juliane,
a year ago when I first heard about this idea I met the people behind a
few times and also proposed using the money for another meeting design.
Well, they and the main sponsor (Allianz insurance) wanted to keep the
control... ;-)
Hope that your efforts have more success than mine :-)
Blessings,
Chris

Hi Funda,
today we had our stammtisch in Berlin and we discussed of course
this "interesting meeting" and there were some people ready to
attend the meeting and propose to the organizers an open space for
their next event- with the money they are used to spend they can do
something big. will keep you informed about their answer.
cheers,
Juliane
