"9.11 - The Triple Method”
net based art work consisting of three individual art works created by media artist Agricola de Cologne.
9.11. represents not only some odd numbers of a sequence
but got its actual meaning through the terrorist attack
which occurred 2001 in USA on 9.11. = 11 September, and it
is declared as 'International Day of Peace' since many years.

   Related to dates in general, 9.11. means in wide parts of Europe

however = 9 November. 9 November became in Germany
a symbol for the beginning of Holocaust, the so-called
Night of Broken Glass. Most Jewish synagogues in Germany
had been burned down and destroyed in one single night
in an action of state terror. But 9 November is in Germany also
the Memorial day for the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989
and the later re-unification of Germany, and in this way
the liberation from another state terrorism (Communist regime).

   Drawing the circle closer, 9.11. has become a very special

meaning for the artist himself. On Friday 11 September 1998,
a terrorist attack of right wing terrorists destroyed an essential
part of his art working installed in a former Synagogue in
South Western Germany. It had dramatic consequences on his
physical and psychological existence, and changed the
course of his life completely.
As a resume, one may state that 9.11. seems to be a
magic date connected to terrorism through the times.
The work is developed according the principle of SAMAC
(Simultaneous Associative Media Art Composing) which describes Agricola’s individual way of experimental electronic writing: words, sound, images, animation, music and voice performance are developed simultaneously -depending on each other - in one long single process.
Voice, music, sound, words performed by Agricola de Cologne.
The movie is developed in Flash, produced, edited and directed by Agricola de Cologne.
