Schalalala (since
2006)
a fan-scarf remix project
The basic idea behind »Schalalala« is to misuse fan-scarfs
as a communication medium by recombining existing scarfs into new statements,
and therefore enabling the fan/user to a more self-determined formulation.
The central element is an online remix-interface, developed in cooperation
with Jan Lindenberg,
on which you can insert pictures of your own scarf, remix a new one and
download a knitting pattern of your remix.
»Schalalala« transfers digital thinking onto the physical
object of the fan-scarf. The project's name refers to conceptual and structural
relations (»Schal« is German for scarf), ranging from playful-musical
to subversive-humourous usage of textual raw material, as in Cut-Up or
Dada.
»Schalalala« started during the Soccer World Cup 2006 as an
online format and has been continued through workshops and knitting circles.
