#Superbloom 2026: Organizers break silence on #Munich festival's future

After months of speculation following the closure of the #OlympicStadium, the team behind Superbloom has finally confirmed that the festival will return in 2026. While the primary stage is out of action due to a massive four-year renovation project, a new update promises that the music and arts event will find a way to adapt to the changing landscape of the #Olympiapark.

Olympic Stadium renovation cast doubt on Superbloom 2026 - On Duty of Munich

Since 2022, Superbloom has held a permanent place in Munich's event calendar, but the project's future long remained uncertain. The primary reason for discussions was the unavailability of the main venue.

On Duty of Munich - The art of news creation

Death Valley and parts of southern California have erupted in #wildflowers thanks to record rain that helped deliver spectacular blooms.

In the famously arid national park,
the rare display has covered miles of the landscape in vibrant shades of yellow and purple.
Park officials announced on Sunday that Death Valley was experiencing an “above-average bloom year”
that is nearing levels of a #superbloom, a phenomenon that typically occurs once a decade.
The area most recently had a superbloom of millions of flowers in 2016,
which can only occur in “perfect conditions” with “well-spaced rainfall” and mild temperatures, the park said in a statement.

Cuatro días atrás, la Ware lanzó Ride. Parece que buzz single a tenor del video, que más que video es un visual.

Se agradece que así sea. I Could Get Used to This le gana de plano (ver la entrada del 27 de enero en el hashtag popazo, cierro autopromo).

Esta canción descoloca en parte. Usa unos beats que remiten a otros ya manoseados y manufacturados por la artista, sin embargo, antes estaban al servicio de más elementos compositivos, se repartían el protagonismo, sobre todo, con instrumentos y melodías setenteras y artimañas émulas de la discomusic más sensual y delicada, creando un subestilo donde reconocer a la artista.

Esto suena a bonustrack (de Kylie). Si durase la mitad hubiera dicho a interludio.

Los primeros segundos sorprenden y redirigen tus expectativas; luego, las atenúan bastante.

Ride es como si Sade se hubiera vendido al pachangueo. No lo hizo. Y fue un acierto apostar por su línea editorial.

Ware, excesivamente morriconiana, perdidilla entre el morriconieo (ella es más de marriconear, si sale de ahí se atasca), frasea manteniendo el tipo, porque no es una pista mala, solo justa y bordeando la salida de tiesto.

Esto parece una cesión de la intérprete ante una ida de olla de su productor excitado por una idea. Una pista impersonal ideal para sonar en un descanso durante un concierto, para mantener al público calentito mientras te cambias de outfit y le das un trago a la infusión de jengibre, o mientras estás en un probador jodida porque esa chaqueta tan molona no te luce como lo hacía en el puto maniquí.

Debe -de- venirse al menos un single más antes de la puesta a la venta de Superbloom (titulazo) en primavera.

#DeathValley #wildflower report: too early.

This is the biggest concentration of wildflowers I saw between Jubilee Pass and Furnace Creek. I stopped at Ashford Mills and have seen a lot more flowers there in the past. I'm thinking that people wanting to catch the beginning of the #SuperBloom should probably wait at least a week or two.

I definitely recommend coming in from Shoshone on Ryder 127 in the morning. Amazing views and no one on the road until Badwater.

網路剛開始發展時,沒人能預見未來它會變成什麼樣子。但它的確是人類歷史上第一個可以承載各種多媒體格式、並且快速大量通訊的媒介,超越地域與物質摩擦力的限制。

雖然經歷了 2000 年的網路泡沫化,但當柏林圍牆倒塌、以及紐約世貿中心遭受攻擊等事件影響,大部分人覺得民主化必須是一種趨勢,而所有人都可以參與的網路,更是民主樂觀主義者不可或缺的媒介和工具。

然而,網路會發展成什麼樣子?對人類會帶來怎樣長期的社會和文化影響?其實我們並不清楚,也對是否介入管束的政府,造成困難,就像現在 AI 的發展一樣——我們無法預見快速發展的科技,所帶來對社會機制和人們生活深層的影響與位移。

我輩七年級生,經歷了網路的興起,也見證了「去中心化的網路能強化民主」的樂觀主義泡沫,碎裂崩解⋯我感覺此刻有些人正在沈潛、重整,試圖停下腳步思考:關於科技深度鑲嵌到生活後,人所遭受的影響和應對。

也不再天真。任何具備破壞力的技術進步,必定伴隨著與人性攪和之後,各種好的和壞的加乘效應。

網誌版 #Superbloom C6-1 & 週五的休假日
https://pbear6150.blog/2026/01/30/superbloom-and-off-day/

接續前文,把 #Superbloom C5 讀完,講到 1973 年的經典之作 Social Penetration: The Development of Interpersonal Relationships. 每個人要和他人發展友誼都是一段漫長而脆弱的過程,通常有四階段:orientation, exploratory affective exchange, affective exchange, and stable exchange. 從初步、淺層的探索,到更多私密的自我揭露(exploration to revelation),不只需要緣分相遇、有相處的時間,在各種變動夾擊的生活中,動態的平衡也不能時時如願,甚至友誼有時會交惡、倒退,並不總能溫馨共進。

同時我們與他人的關係裡也埋藏著潛在的張力(tension),在開放與封閉之間(openness & closedness)游移。就像攝影師與被攝者之間的緊張一樣,被攝者難免擔心被簡化為一張無法自我辯護的照片,失去自我的複雜和能動性(complexity and agency)、彈性與自由。1/2
