Nearly 2 years have passed after I decided to create a space to host creative technologies and moving art projects created by inspiring artists and cover it all with some fuzziness. It has worked out pretty well so far. Almost 2 years I’ve been on my own, working and experimenting with formats and doing things how I feel them. Yet,
Read MoreSee that aspiring actor there? That was me… Actually, that is me. And I’m not an aspiring actor, nor are the other people in our video. We are just real people who got together to support the ‘It Gets Better’ project. People who happen to work for the same company, Nokia, which is supporting our diversity. If you still don’t know what
Read MoreTo attend this event I’d only need to walk out of my place and walk 10 minutes to Tempelhof Park / Airport. Berlin is known for welcoming expats from all over the world who look for inspiration, re-invention and simply to play around.

To say that seeing bearded men present future fashion collections is more than a rarity, is an understatement. Dolce & Gabanna, Gucci, Dior, present their upcoming collections on boys on the verge of puberty carrying actually pretty few of the external characters of the sex such as body or facial hair. Well, the time has come that some designers shake

It would almost be worth it to order them just to see the sexy hairy arms of said waiter…but there is more to these delicious nibbles than Mediterranean good looks. Antipasti (Italian) and Meze (Greek, Turkish, Middle Eastern) are generally straightforward, easy to share snacks
Read MoreRevenge Of The Nerds is my column for HONK! magazine – art, photography, fashion & music online magazine from Berlin. 2010 was the year when the 80s were back, 2011 is obviously the year the fashion and all other industries joined forces to bring back the 90s. No matter what decade is coming back in which year, style and taste are

UPDATE: BL33N.com is finally officially open! Yesterday my inbox had only one name in the sender section: Matthias Vriens-McGrath. There was also one single subject: BL33N. We were obsessing about the magazine, the clothes, the artists, the faces representing the idea and the images. It is a dog’s life choosing from the whole collection, so I will make it easy
