Laziness Prevails

Holm Friebe established the term „digital boheme“ and probably he just fits into the category. As chief executive at 'Zentrale Intelligenz Agentur' (Central Intelligence Agency) he brings project conception and analyzing to a whole new creative level. It’s difficult to picture what to expect from them unless you have tried working with Z.I.A. In their own words, it's about bringing together the professionalism of a company with the flexibility of freelancers. As a trend-spotter Holm Friebe knows his business and makes Z.I.A be on track with the trends or even ahead of them.
He conquers the idea of permanent economical growth and says that the main problem the creative sector has to deal with is being seen as vanguard of the change in the job-market, from steady positions to a hire-n-fire mentality. When he thinks of the avant-garde, there is no way around the Internet. And there is no way around prompt decisions. Influenced by that his avant-gardist of choice, Peter Glaser, is sharing much of his ideas.

If you want to label Peter Glaser a web-native you are doing him horribly wrong, because the guy who claims to be an author – and a list of humorous and award-winning publications proofs this – is an actual pioneer of the Internet. He was one of the first to implement computer-based media into (his) readings.
Glaser started reaching a larger audience since he has published a column on the development of digital technologies and their impact on the society. This is the topic he keeps working on as a journalist and writer. One of his projects that he started in 2008 is a blog called 'Glaserei', in which he collects curios from allover the web.
Peter Glaser has found his own way of combining both of his occupations and has worked for big publications in the German-speaking sector like 'Spiegel', 'Zeit' or 'NZZ' and is a member of 'Chaos Computer Club', a group of hackers with a vision.

In both Holm Friebe and Peter Glaser lies the urge of the impetus. Driven by that, their next step is never predictable, but always exciting.
