This is a project about labour and barter economy. Small robotic vehicles trade their manpower for food. The vehicles can draw and whistle the popular songs “Happy Birthday” and “The Internationale”.

Das Robotterchen hat am Mittwoch bei Der Langen Nacht des Kurzen Glücks im Rotem Salon um 23 Uhr seinen Besitzer gewechselt.

Es wurden viele kurze Berlin-Filme gezeigt und zwischendurch die Auslosung gemacht. 10 Gewinner wurden am Sonntag geehrt. Das Maschinchen lag im Korb eines Menschen, den ich für kunstbegabt halte.

2. Gruyère is sweet but slightly salty, with a flavor that varies widely with age.

3. Gres des Vosges is a traditional soft-ripened, washed rind cheese. It is a true farmhouse delight.

4. The Moosbacher cheese owes its uniqueness to a double ripening process.

5. Sourdough (or, more formally, natural leaven or levain) refers to the process of leavening bread by capturing wild yeasts in a dough or batter, as opposed to using a domestic, purpose-cultured yeast such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

6. Panettone is a typical bread of Milan, usually prepared and enjoyed for Christmas and New Year around Italy, and one of the symbols of the city.
