_erwin liedke is a living multiple. A creature, that is in doubt and turns this into new energy for himself and his diverse constitutions and interests. Driven by indecision and the try of sincerity. "I'm a stimulus-figure, in the positive and negative way of thinking, someone who turns things literally into movement."
_first intensive net_contact in the beginning of 1997, participant of the new-economy-movement as co-initiator of the internet-auction-channel ricardo.de, its medial frontfigure and the world's first internet-auction-moderator; in 2000 he dissociated from reproductional tendencies of the offline-world in internet-contextes, started a digitalization and 'rhizoming' of his life: accessabilities, connectivities, reduction of offline-materials, facing the conditions of beeing mobile. Since then he lives an online-existence and works for an extension of his activity field on matrix2k, that included connectivity, intensity, inter-/active participation and influences on the protocols of society processes. With concequences of transfer of un-/reasonablenesses, change of subjectivity- and working processes and invention of ethical components.

_position: between1530 and 1610 nikolaus kopernikus, johannes keppler und galileo galilei put in an exhausting new, the heliocentric idea of the world. The sun is the center of circled (since keppler elliptic) orbits und the earth moves around the sun and is circulated itself by the moon. Our planet moves. And even around the sun. But still this idea has not much to do with the usually view of the world.
In june 2002 chief-editor gabriele fischer from business-magazine brandeins wrote
(translated): "It's good to believe in something. To believe in something contrary to your own knowledge is standstill."
It's not better to describe that every sunrise and every sunset produces standstill in mind, to be precise in our own one.
Since kopernikus but latest since galileo we should know that there is no sunrise as there is no sunset.
So far the wilful-head human nature. So far the 'not-power' of science.

_at the persian new years party 1999 the idea of GeheimRat was born relaunch2k05.geheimrat.com. Planned as a project it early turned into a process-orientated work. It's configured in the name, that it could be a single person and a committee or a panel as well. Meanwhile GeheimRat is an extensive trademark and by that a stress-field between business- and artprocess.

_erwin liedke - narrator [some extracts since 1999]
_in the beginning it was a juristic gray-area. Internet_auction. Auctioning of brand new goods via internet. Live. At that time in germany there was running an auction-stateorder from long long time ago. After a few testings around christmas-time 1997 it started in the early 1998 a cooperation between the publishers companions and gruner&jahr. We auctioned parallel to the internet-exhibition cebit 1998 and delivered brand new exihibition-premieres and lots of other lifestyle-goods during 2 or 3 multi-hour live-auctions per day. The world's first internet-auction-moderator was born.
During this first auctionweek we ran through a really wonderful auction. It was the evening of the 24th march1998. In movie_length it happened a fight around an o.tel.o telefon-card with a normal value of dm10,-, nearly
eur5,-. 1h43min the auction ended close after midnight with the final result of dm341,-. Marcus schindler, who was the assisstent that evening, and I were gone through the most fascinating internet-auction. It was a superb piece of internet-history we were involved that evening. 'stefan' lost the auctionfight. But together with the winner 'peterpaul' he was the main_actor in that real crime-story, live. Some screenshots: http://www.relaunch2k05.geheimrat.com/auction-history.html
From that time I'm convinced about auction-mechanisms as model of entertainment and price-finding. I guess this is still a huge market.
From my point of view is the direct production of jobs a quite boring idea in millenium_2k. Very roughly I guess that during and following that auction-competition between ricrado, ebay and other auction_platforms some 15.000 freelanced, full- and halftime occupations started and probably more will start. Maybe I had my little part in that development.

95 theses to online-systems, online-markets. Some excerpts:
78 You want us to pay? We want you to pay attention. 80 Don't worry, you can still make money. That is, as long as it's not the only thing on your mind. 81 Have you noticed that , in itself, money is kind of one-dimensial and boring? What else can we talk about? 91 Our allegiance is to ourselves, our friends, our new allies and acquaintances, even our sparring partners. Companies that have no part in that world, also have no future. 94 To traditional corporations, networked conversations may appear confused, may sound confusing. But we are organizing faster than they are. We have better tools, more new ideas, no rules to slow us down.
