"Wir sind im Jahrhundert des Films. Mehr und mehr machen wir uns durch visuelle Zeichen verständlich. Schnelligkeit bestimmt heute die Qualität."
Yvan Goll: 'MANIFESTO OF SURREALISM' (1924)

BERLIN 1998/2009 UNTER DEN LINDEN (9.11.09 rainy high noon) & G&GN-INSTITUT (15.11.09 afternoon): Tom de Toys running on the avenue "Unter den Linden" towards BRANDENBURGER TOR at the 20th anniversary day of "THE FALL OF THE WALL"... Some days later reciting the ten parts of his old poem "LEGENDE (HOMMAGE AN DIE HAUPTSTADT)" that was written from the 19th to 21st of May 1998 in his former studio & literature saloon (1998-2000) of "Arthouse Tacheles" (Oranienburgerstreet) about his view on the german capital and dedicated to both photographer friends that inspired him: EDITH MARIA BALK who created 1998 a large interdisciplinary work (by painting the map and exchanging the street names for chosen lines of the poem) & TIM ROELOFS who gave me 1998 chosen collages for a special G&GN-book with this poem (that is still neither produced nor published). Since 1998 the capital poem is published online in the *archives of the G&GN-institute, but on the early morning of December 14th 2009 it was sent around the world straight into the emailboxes of 15 thousand poetry lovers. "LEGENDE (...)" was the very last of more than thousand poems De Toys wrote under his former pseudonym Tom Toys (without "de") before dividing his works on 40 new pseudonyms (like Siegfried Sühd for the quantumpoetry since 2001). His almost complete works will be published 2010 under the title "LOCHiSMUß LEiCHTGEMACHT" ("HOLeISM eASY MADe") containing 1111 most important poems that represent his neuroastronomical theory of holEism as philosophy for the 23rd century. Following the tibetian buddhistic calendar the future is much closer than expected by the mayan calendar because 2009 is already 2136 indeed... // (c) ACTUAL SOURCE OF SENT POEM: http://www.lyrikpost.de/blog/category/alle-autoren-bei-lyrikmail/tom-de-toys/ ~~~ MORE ABOUT THE MENTIONED ARTISTS & BACKGROUND FACTS HERE: E.BALK (winner of first photo-marathon 1998): http://www.fotomarathon.de/index.php?article_id=89&clang=0 & T.ROELOFS (collages for Versace catwalk collection 2008): http://www.roeloffs1.de & DAILY MAYAN CALENDAR: http://www.mayakalender.net & MY FINAL FREE PDF-PUBLICATION: http://www.NEUROPOESIE.de ~~~ LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE COMPLETE QUOTE by Iwan Goll, taken from his 'MANIFESTO OF SURREALISM' (1924, German by Claire Goll, BIG letters by De Toys): "Realität ist die Basis jeder großen Kunst. Ohne sie kein Leben, keine Substanz. Realität, das ist der Boden unter unseren Füßen UND der Himmel über unsrem Kopf. Jede künstlerische Schöpfung hat ihren Ausgangspunkt in der Natur. (...) Bis zu Beginn des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts entschied das Ohr über die Qualität eines Gedichts: Rhythmus, Klang, Kadenz, Stabreim, Vers: alles für das Ohr. Seit zwanzig Jahren triumphiert das Auge. WIR SIND IM JAHRHUNDERT DES FILMS. Mehr und mehr machen wir uns durch visuelle Zeichen verständlich. Schnelligkeit bestimmt heute die Qualität. Kunst ist Ausstrahlung des Lebens und des menschlichen Organismus. ÜBERREALISMUS, Ausdruck unsrer Epoche, hält sich an die Symptome, die sie charakterisieren. Er ist DIREKT, INTENSIV und weist Künste, die sich auf abstrakte Zweite-Hand-Begriffe stützen wollen, zurück: Logik, Ästhetik, grammatische Effekte, Wortspiele." // (c) *ORIGINAL G&GN-SOURCE OF POEMiE "LEGENDE": http://poemie.jimdo.com/neuropoesie/poemie-legende/ ~~~ THIS VIDEOCLIP APPEARS ALSO @ http://www.POETryToGo.de ~~~ BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT WHY THIS POEMiE WAS CHOSEN: http://knk.punapau.dyndns.org/publisher/site/knk/public/obj/page.php?obj=11898
