In 
this sound triptych in Spanish, English or German language, 
classical literatures,  which you 
know for sure, fall apart, like so many things today, if you are not sensitive 
or patient enough to receive them rather than act on them. But here you have the 
chance to re-de-compose them, acoustically. Or make your own versions by use of 
the words of the poets. As we anyhow may do in our mind, mindful or absent 
minded, when reading the original texts in a book, the Gutenberg 
way.

What is 
called enlightenment is an ephemerous phenomenum, everybody, who knows it or of 
it, admits, it's like a blank, vast, open space in your mind, giving room for 
anything and nothing at the same time, like these empty 
pages.

A virtual 
enlightenment flashes up, impossible to grasp or fix, in sensous time.  
 
 
 Infinite piece, changing by every user, 
in the web since Jan 7th, 2000
 
Selbst-los 
/Self-less
 
 
Net artist WOLF KAHLEN is 
dissolving pixel by pixel, user by user in the net. On a first page. On the 
second you see and hear your personal pixel, the one, you activated to 
disappear, solely on the empty page. And on the third page you see all the 
'lost' pixels arriving back and shaping a new WOLF KAHLEN. Look, hear and have 
the triptych printed out, signed and numbered, the way you, only you see the 
process taking shape, nobody else has seen this moment of the RITUAL 
DEATH.
An exiting piece and a very 
conceptual one, media concerned and at the same time offering the sensuality the 
net is missing mostly.. 
The RUINE DER KUENSTE 
BERLIN presents it to collectors as a present, which WOLF KAHLEN donated at 
his 60th birthday. The URL for the piece is www.wolf-kahlen.de
