How to save 2,30 € for a latte in Berlin
DISCLAIMER: Don’t do this at home …ähhh … at the city trains U-Bahn or S-Bahn. They check those quite often. The bus driver in the city might ask you for a ticket or yell at you but you can always try to just walk in. At Tegel nobody cares AT ALL …. enjoy the coffee places in Berlin! ( That’s all we have ;-)

How to make your own MOMA artist pass
[first released on F.A.T. , don't miss the comments there...]
1. Download your pass here.
2. Print it on heavy paper, both sides.
3. Insert your name with a pen.
4. Visit MOMA a whole year for free!
You are only eligible to obtain an MOMA artist annual pass (25,-$) (regular entrance fee 20,- $ !!!) if you can proof that you had ‘OFF-LINE’ !!! art shows. Can you believe that? Online art doesn’t count in?!? We need to change that.
The making of the Free MOMA pass:
Let’s scan this!
It seems I am artist number #7156 which got an artist pass. (This year? Since the system was implemented? Doesn t matter in fact.) The entrance guard will just scan the code and look at the read out if the pass is valid. Code format is CODE_39. Ok nice!
Let’s scan the whole thing in high res!
We better generate that magic code A000000000007156 again at Online Barcode Generator for better print quality :-) You might wanna also just become the artist pass owner #7155 in case they kick Aram Bartholl out of the DB for some reason. ;-)
Done! I recommend the Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures show on 5th floor. Awesome! Let’s meet for a make out flashmob in that ‘exhibtion’ cinema ;-)
[You might also just go to Free Friday Nights, held every Friday evening from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m :-)]

The Free Yacht Saga
In the first place a ‘how to’ is a manual but to a certain extend it also always tells a story.
Some people push the story part quite far on Instructables. :-) I like that!

A million thanks to my studio colleague Holger who made this transaction possible!
The godfather of ‘How to’
“How to solve 5 Problems using a map” produced by Theo is another result of the ‘How to DIY‘ workshop week. I like this one a lot because it plays with the different formats of DIY. The successful McGiver TV series is well known for its story embedded DIY survival solutions. Theo converted these absurd Mc Giver How to’s to a typical step by step Instructables tutorial. This way godfather Mc Giver becomes part of the DIY Web 2.0 masses. Do his solutions convince the Instructables audience? The web based, user 2 user DIY format of Instructables attracts a very large community. Sometimes its tutorials seem to be more influenced by the old TV formats and than by cutting edge Web2.0. The entertainment factor often outweighs the usefulness of a DIY tutorial. A dream came true, everybody can be Mc Giver today!
