I just stopped over at my friend BB’s blog and had to chuckle upon discovering the-above-oh-so-familiar photo. It’s the »How to Work Better« Mural is by Swiss artists Fischli & Weiss and covers an office building in Zurich-Oerlikon. You can prominently see it from the train when you get into Zurich station.
Very nice!

Curious that it’s in English. Any idea why?

So great, so valuable…

Khoi, good question. Well, I think it has do to with english being much catchier and most of all shorter. You can say way more in less and shorter words. German words are never-ending. :)

Never happened to read the full list while sitting in the train – thanks for the photo!

Thanks for the photo. I lived in St Gallen for seven years and always tried to read the list when visiting Zurich. Makes me miss Switzerland.

No. 6 Technological Determinism – Did any body have a doubts that it could be a little sarcastic? That’s why is not in German, irony doesn’t fit it

It makes so much sense in English, but I guess it wouldn’t for some other languages, like mine, Italian. It needs a re-interpretation, not just a translation of course, for each different language, I suppose. Try to say “be calm” to an Italian and he’ll get mad on you. Ahahahaha!!!
