Who or what is Cytara?

Cytara is one of the domain names owned by Fashionoffice.org. It was once registered for continuing the virtual model 'Cybra' which was given birth in 1997; it was the year that on occasion of a tragic incident, role models and the hunt after them (keyword paparazzi) was discussed heavily. 'Cybra' was derived from the word 'Cyber' and should give place to a model which is like an avatar a carrier - in this case of thoughts about lifestyle; a carrier which can't be used easily as 'model' (in the meaning of a fixed outer form) as it changes steadily it's visual self. Cybra was in motion and spoke; well, it wasn't interactive. The domain name Cybra was already registered for a .com domain, so the decision to re-name the female figure led to 'Cytara'. But on Cytara.com, the virtual model figure never appeared; like any other existence, even a virtual figure's living is a question of financial funding. The domain Cytara.com was used in the following years as space for data and some try-outs were made to breathe life into the domain. Now, Cytara.com is at the beginning again - not as virtual model but as written text, uploaded via Blogger.com. The .com domain Cytara points to cytara.blogspot.com where in future sights on society, online, culture will be published in the style such as it was done on Blogs by Fashionoffice during the last years.
Responsible publisher of the content on
Cytara.com or cytara.blogspot.com is the
same as on Fashionoffice.org: Karin Sawetz.

The next blog posts will be about the currently running presidential election campaign which seems to become in Austria more a voting for political parties than the person of the president. The role of the Austrian President is in difference to the US President (only for example) all-party. The presidential election result hasn't (normally) any direct influence on the parliament or the government; it's not such an active political role. But even the Austrian President could use the power which is legally assigned to the position. And even when the head of the republic doesn't use all the power of the office, the president's lifestyle, the approach to culture will have influence on how our country will see itself and how Austria will be perceived by others. A great task! The next president will be the model for many for the next six years. Election day (in Austria) is the 4th December.

"We waited so long for a sign of intelligent life in outer space and have overseen that the Illumis have been already living among us on earth. " Demian walks through the spaceship. It's a newer model with self adjusting rooms and corridors where the nine members of the research team have lived since they left earth six months ago. The video communicator-drone follows him and creates a film-like live stream with various close ups of Demian with changing focus on the face, his wild hair,  beard, or his fine slender but strong hands. The drone program edits the stream in thriller-mode selected by Demian to match the visual dramaturgy of the live video better with the occasion. The drone program cuts the video and includes scenes showing the ship inside in changing wide angle perspectives, recordings captured by the outer space cameras, and pictures of the Illumis such as the entities are cal

Will the election campaigns in US influence Austrian strategists?

Image
By Fashionoffice 's publisher Karin Sawetz Austrians see the US presidential candidates probably more often than the country's own possible next president. The campaign machinery of US presidential elections is legendary and the exploration of the strategies behind belong to educational content in communication sciences. Even profane gossip such as which US star wore Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump Halloween costumes reaches the Austrians. Keyword Halloween. Halloween is a new party occasion in Austria although this time with All Saints' Day (1st November) and All Souls' Day (2nd November) is traditionally very contemplative and quiet. Both days are contributed to thoughts about deceased family members and friends. But Austrians are flexible and added Halloween with its costume parties on 31 October to the annual calendar. fig.: The picture shows me during a walk at one of the worldwide largest cemeteries, the 'Vienna Central Cemetery' (Wiener Zentralfrie

'Dog Tales' series, 2nd episode ( 1st episode ) By  Fashionoffice 's publisher Karin Sawetz At 'Faust', dogs in cages are the first impressions visitors get of the performance-installation by Anne Imhof at Biennale Arte Venezia 2017. At the 'Apotheosis' by Balthasar Permoser,  a figure with wings sits in front of Prince Eugene; seen at the palace Schloss Hof in Austria nearby the border of Slovakia.       fig.: The image shows me at the 'Apotheosis of Prince Eugene' at the former hunting  palace Schloss Hof, one of the properties of Prince Eugene in Austria.   I wear the skirt with print of a painting  by 'Hondecoeter' which gave this series  its title 'Dog Tales'. (At the first episode, I've introduced with a partly surrealistic text into the  new art review series).  The two examples are significant for how society changed during the last 300 years as the content of the two artworks is the same: it's about th
