The Blue Rider
The Dawning of the Modern Era
The Blue Rider – this is the name a group of artists chose for themselves when they joined forces just over 100 years ago to exhibit their works together.
Their pictures were extremely colourful and often did not depict objects, humans or animals. Instead, shapes and coloured surfaces dominated their pictures. This abstract method of depiction was completely new in the world of art and attracted a lot of attention. At that time, the press wrote that their first exhibition was a wild parody and a bizarre carnival. The audience was scandalised, ranted, blustered and spat on the paintings. The artists were called shameless bluffers and incurably insane. But critics and the audience could not have been more wrong since this exhibition was to become world-famous and the artists changed art forever.

Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
