In connection with the development of artificial intelligence and the increasing possibility of being able to replace organs, the discussion about the ‘I’ will also increase. And I am currently of the opinion that the ‘I’ can only be made tangible if you try to imagine it as an organ, separate from everything else.
„Every ego finds itself as having an organic body. The body, for its part, is not an ego, but a spatiotemporal thing around which a material environment is grouped that continues into the infinite. […] The thing that every ego finds as its body is characterised above all other things precisely as its own body…“ from Edmung Husserl: „Basic Problems of Phenomenology“
I am undoubtedly one of those people who don’t like to talk or write about themselves. Although, from a communication point of view, I often speak in parables. Anyway, I’ll keep it short!
I was born in 1973 and grew up in southern Germany, in stable, down-to-earth circumstances. And yet my thoughts have always been drawn to the world.
It all began with an apprenticeship as an electronics technician. This was followed by a second qualification as a media designer.
However, it was more the circumstances of life, good years and bad years, that led me to the decision to further deepen my knowledge. This was followed by one of the last diploma courses in adult education to become an information and communication manager, until globalisation moved in and Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees became available.
I also had to train as a fitness instructor for aerobics and group fitness.
After having worked in pretty much all facets of sales, from key account management to key account and online sales, I made the leap into retail, most recently in sports and fashion retail. To work face-to-face, so to speak. Now I had to do something more specialised in fashion in order to be able to provide professional advice at all levels.
I completed one of the first creative courses that could be completed online, an online school for design, which is also certified as a distance learning school and therefore state-recognised, and expanded my media design training to include fashion design.
How do you go from technology to fashion?
I asked myself that too!
Reading my texts will certainly give you a better understanding.
My father was already a communications engineer, my mother was always up to date with fashion and occasionally had clothes made – haute couture on a small scale, if you like.
Interestingly, Wilhelm Reich did research in the field of intellectual development. And so he describes the perfection of female and male memory, which originally stems from gender and therefore both parents. In practice, it looks like this…
…fateful encounters and strange decisions.
Working in sales of high technologies, development systems for embedded systems, I inevitably had to specialise in one market. The products are getting smaller and smaller and are penetrating more and more markets. A few semiconductor manufacturers offered microchips and microcontrollers for the textile sector. Initially, however, it was development systems for RFID and NFC technologies, such as those used in supply chain tracking. Electronic communication solutions that are currently installed and actively used in almost every mobile phone.
However, my passion was not really favoured. Working in this field is a recluse, the circumstances were unfavourable and I was already helping out in my mother’s shop as a child and teenager. So I decided, also with a view to health and exercise, to switch once again from sales in the office to sales.
I can only do all professions together if I organise myself in such a way that everything fits together. For some people, this is simply too much, too strenuous, too complicated.
I have a great passion and love for breaking down complex topics, observing things and constantly discovering new things. In the spirit of ‘Never Stop Exploring’.
I have currently been working in retail for years and have focussed on writing about my topics within this profession.
„Whoever recognises me knows who I am“ – sounds clearly ambiguous – once a child, always a child
As long as the internet cannot offer me sufficient security, I will endeavour to prevent images of myself from appearing on the internet and resist as long as necessary. I don’t want anyone to find me in home movies using deepfake without my willing consent. As in the picture above, I will never exist again, so I’m being a bit brave here.
My Vision
In order to be emotionally attached to my story, to get the breeding ground for my texts, I work alongside my job with a sewing machine, computer and drawing board under my arm to draw the necessary conclusions for my work.
The current trend is to provide vital signs to health organisations directly from wearables or clothing. A big change in the healthcare industry.
After this step, I expect to see the same topic in the connection between people. There are certainly many authors writing about this now, I have only read about it from Getrud Lehnert, at some point people will be permanently connected to each other in terms of communication.
One aspect deals with the ego, its consciousness and the ego in relation to society. In doing so, I first examine the question of how and under what motives people orientate themselves and find their way in their environment and surroundings. Why society is important and relevant for the individual in people. What is the bond that connects us, that holds society together? What does the technologically productive extended arm of clothing and fashion look like that holds us together socially? Questions upon questions.
Das soziale Millieu – vielleicht das frühe Stadium der späteren Businesswomen
So war die Kindheit. Es ging uns gut, wir waren gut umsorgt, die Eltern arbeiteten aber auch viel. Während der Vater in der Welt umherreiste, um Telekommunikationssysteme zu projektieren sorgte er dafür das die Mutter zu Hause zwischen Kind und Kochen weiterarbeiten konnte. Und so wuchsen wir als Kinder zwischen Lochkartenmaschinen auf. Der Vater hatte von der IBM Maschinen und das Outsourcing für Reisespesenabrechnungen beschafft. Und so konnte meine Mutter mit mehreren weiblichen gleichgesinnten Datenerfassung betreiben, während wir Kinder zwischen den Maschinen umhertollten.
Das Geschäft, vorzugsweise in den 1970er Jahren betrieben, neigte sich irgendwann dem Ende, die Idee für eine andere Tätigkeit war aber längst auf den Weg gebracht.
Nach einer kurzen Übergangsphase, das Geschäft durch den Auftraggeber IBM erfolgte dann der Wechsel hin zum Vereinsbedarf. Neben Artikeln Auszeichnungen durch Vereinswettbewerbe, wie bsw. Pokale, Urkunden und Medaillen wurden auch Textilien aus der Herkunftsregion des Vaters, der Textilhochburg schwäbische Alb bezogen und verkauft, vertrieben und es wurde Beflockung angeboten, die bevorzugt Sportkleidung und Lifestyleartikel produzierten. Ein Namhaftes und bis heute stabil geführter Sporbekleidungsproduzent.
Die Maschine im Vordergrund zeigt eine Lochkartenmaschine. Hier wurden Lochkarten erstellt. Karten, ca. DINA5 Format, durch die Löcher in den Karten wurden Kodierungen den Karten aufgeprägt.
Der Blick der Damen geht auf den sehr kleinen Monitor. Informationen auf den Belegen wurden in die Maschine eingegeben, die Belege abgestempelt und in Ordner abgeheftet.
