History and vanguard are like prisms. They do not give us a panoramic view of the real world. Rather, they allow the richness and polymorphism of experiences in the past to be reflected when viewed from different angles. Memory does not become art until it is translated into a proper artistic language. . Included in this exhibition is a selection of graphic works by: MIRÓ- VALDES- TAPIES- PLENSA- CLAVÉ- CHILLIDA- RAFOLS CASAMADA- LUCIO MUÑOZ- GUINOVART- CASTILLO- SAURA- LAM- HERNÁNDEZ PIJUAN-PONÇ- MATTA. After the exhibition we will move to the BreakTimers chill out evening at the Coctum bar across the road where we will distribute free BreakTime banknotes.

Monopoli Money Exchange
Posted by Alain on Jan 28, 2009 in Break Time Currency, Breaktime Stories
OSLO, Incredible! A lady went to a bank and exchanged Monopoli money for Euros 190! Double Incredible! Happy with the result she goes back and tries to exchange more Monopoli money for the value of Euros 750!! Well this time the bank employee was a little smarter than the first one and called the police who arrested her….. does this show us that the value of money is only a matter of trust (or stupidity some may say)?
See more on the history of money and why the economy is collapsing at http://www.breaktimers.com/bank/history.html. In any case please dont try to exchange BreakTime Banknotes in banks, nevertheless you may try to swiftly barter them for people’s time.
Sleep well…… and the economy will take off!
Posted by breaktimer on Jan 20, 2009 in Breaktime Stories, Breaktimers Manifesto
AMSTERDAM (Holland). This is the result of a research on the cerebral mechanism during sleep, conducted by the Dutch neurologist Ysbrand Van der Werf, at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) in la Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam.
They demonstrated that good sleep is beneficial not only to the individuals but also to the economy! This is because people who sleep well are more productive and perform better.
Sleeping nearby a motorway, a railway or an airport causes problems with remembering information and learning and organising new ones.
We already knew that a bad sleep made us very grumpy to say the least, but what Van der Werf demonstrated is that we will also have productivity problems.
Apparently (according to the professor’s study):
“Sleep before learning benefits memory encoding through unknown mechanisms. We found that even a mild sleep disruption that suppressed slow-wave activity and induced shallow sleep, but did not reduce total sleep time, was sufficient to affect subsequent successful encoding-related hippocampal activation and memory performance in healthy human subjects. Implicit learning was not affected. Our results suggest that the hippocampus is particularly sensitive to shallow, but intact, sleep.”
The hippocampus affects the way we remember old memories and store new ones.
Van der Werf discoveries question the current trends of sleeping in noisy cities and fewer and fewer hours.
As BreakTimers, we feel it’s part of our mission to encourage people to sleep more and better!
Professor Van der Werf provide us with a strong scientific argument that will help winning the argument for more rest: it’s good for the economy (your company and general) too! So in a period of crisis it should be our duty to make sure we sleep enough and well.
Van der Werf’s results are published in the internet magazine Nature Neuroscience. We propose Professor Van der Werf and his team as Great BreakTimers!
sleep well
