Dr. Simeone discussed how Germany always produces at least one great race car every decade. The National favorites from the 1920s, 1930s, 1950s, and 1970s were featured in this Demo Day Event. They were all great international winners of their time.

  • 1927 Mercedes Benz S-Type Sportwagen, the brainchild of Ferdinand Porsche while he was working for Mercedes Benz,
  • 1937 BMW 328, der erfolgreiche deutsche Sportwagen,
  • 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, the race car of the street,
  • 1970 Porsche 917 LH, the car that inaugurated Porsche’s wins at Le Mans in 1970 and 1971.

"the Silent Camera" was conceived in 2009 and was inspired by the music of Arvo Part especially his piece "Silentium". I perceive the modern world as oscillating between two extremes that are analogous to two of Arvo Part's pieces: "Perpetuum Mobile" represents the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the sea of people surrounding you, the noise in the streets, the deadlines, the challenges and the lessons to learn, the new technologies and risks facing our civilization, the musical pieces you learn [or fail to master],.. etc. "Silentium" represents the resolution of every musical note, every spoken word and every movement of your day. It is the moment that you are most likely to remember after the day's noise has settled and its turbulence has subsided. It is the moment that we all crave and the moment that will allow us to persist to the next day when the Perpetuum Mobile cycle starts again.
