“What’s up with you?” Counter Entropy and Aachen’s tradition
In the afternoon of April the 30th the first members of the Counter Entropy team arrived in a garden, meeting to saw of a couple of birch branches. These knots should serve later as may trees, but this will be explained in the following.
After reusing parts of the former soccer stadion “Tivoli” of the soccer club “Alemannia Aachen”, they got acquainted with other cultural aspects of Aachen’s regional lifestyle.

 Youtube-Channel of Re-UseTV
“www.Re-Use.TV“ can be regarded as a serial video concept that reveals the idea of reusing objects in a simple and innovative way. Several team members present how to create new useful objects out of old products which are no longer in use. In every video an individual instruction and the needed materials are given. The presenting person explains and demonstrates the steps of converting reusable objects. Some of the reused products consist of objects which can be associated with the everyday use, such as plastic bottles transformed to a lamp, a film reel weaved to a bag or a beverage carton folded to a wallet. The filming area for “www.Re-Use.TV“ is professionally prepared with a special equipment. Two cameras are filming from different angles during the demonstration. After all, an explaining description supports the film. We started broadcasting the videos on our own “www.Re-Use.TV” youtube channel at the end of November, frequently producing new ones.
