Press Release Summary: With his individual art project, InspiNation, Düsseldorf
artist Dirk Jakobs is hoping to take part in this year’s Pangea Day – the world’s
largest film screening. These short films have one aim: to promote tolerance among
the cultures of the world.
Press Release Body: Düsseldorf, Germany,March,14,2008 -- The dimensions are
impressive: On 10th May 2008, in public viewings, in cinemas, on the internet, or
simply on their mobile phones, several million people from Rio de Janeiro to Kigali,
from London to Ramallah and from New York to Tel Aviv will see a series of short
films produced independently by thousands of people. These short films have one aim:
to promote tolerance among the cultures of the world. Over 1,000 videos produced for
Pangea Day (http://www.pangeaday.org) are already available for viewing on YouTube.
One of the participants is Düsseldorf artist Dirk Jakobs. He wants to support the
aims of Pangea Day with his art project, InspiNation (http://www.inspination.org).
InspiNation consists of abstract art works that can be viewed on Jakobs’ website and
a music video, which aims to clarify the basic idea of one global community. “We are
all parts of inspiring nations, which enrich one another with their diversity, if
the focus is placed not on the differences but on what we have in common,” Jakobs
explains. Jakobs sees the fact that people from different cultures and nations are
aware of this intellectual treasure as something to counteract the frequently
sobering and small-minded reality created by the political classes all over the
world. “No-one is our enemy and no-one is a stranger. I hope the new art series will
contribute to our understanding of planet earth as a single entity, in which we all
have an important role to play,” says Jakobs.
