welcome to meer berlin!
the idea behind meer berlin is to create a virtual place to which everyone
may come at any time, maybe when curious, maybe when lonely, maybe when
looking for inspiration, maybe when ... . this place is changing irregular
and continuous, always trying to reflect a somewhat different perspective
on the day-to-day life, trying to concentrate on the small observations and
the things between the lines, sharing them with whoever is interested in
finding out about them.
meer berlin offers different ways to be explored. one (time) is a simple
timeline listing the latest entries in chronological order, so that it is
easy to find out where meer berlin has grown since the last visit. the
other is by one of the five topics (images, sounds, words, places and
things) which are always pointing to the latest corresponding entry. from
there it is possible to navigate deeper into the past or to look through
the archives.
the name meer berlin was born from two thoughts. first - there is no 'meer'
(german for sea) anywhere near berlin but it would be nice if it would be
the case, so the combination of the two words creates a lovely surreal
image. second - in german the pronunciation of the word 'meer' (sea) and
the word 'mehr' (more) is exactly the same, resulting in a nice double
meaning for the spoken words.
enough introduction - now enjoy meer berlin!
