The words BEWEIS ZU NICHTS (proof for nothing) have been selected by the Cologne Artist Marcel Odenbach after a corresponding poem by Ingeborg Bachman from 1952. This particular message installed on the roof of 235 MEDIA questions media images in general and pleads for a constant interrogation of “photographic authenticity”. Thereby they take into account the critical analyses of digital utopias during the 1980’s and 90’s as well as the prevailing, increasing manipulation of mass media in semi-democratic states. 235 Media was established in 1982 by Axel Wirths and Ulrich Leistner as an international editor and distributor for media art.
