Dada Changed My Life: In February 2002 a group of artists, under the name
of Foundation Kroesus, occupied the Cabaret Voltaire, the birthplace of Dada
in Z"rich, 1916. Their intention was to revive this space, which is the property
of a Swiss insurance company, as a cultural platform before the imminent construction
of luxury flats and a pharmacy. Over the course of two months they invited artists
from all over the world to participate in this effort to save the Cabaret Voltaire,
and created many provocative happenings in order to draw attention to the subject,
drawing much positive attention from Swiss newspapers and television. Despite
all their efforts to preserve the cultural integrity of the building, the police
entered the building on 2 April and kicked the artists out.

A Cuban Adventure starts in San Francisco, April 2003 as the Gumball Rally
is about to make its way across America, in six days, covering 3000 miles. The
Gumball attracts all kind of people who want to give their Ferraris and Lamborghinis
a good work out, though nobody could be prepared for the Cuban Brothers. Never
mind that they cannot drive or don't know much about cars, their presence and
nonsense delights everybody in their wake. This is the Gumball Rally Cuban style,
all filmed through the wonky lens of porn director Austrian Dave. Funny as hell.
