What does Ramasuri mean?

Ramas’uri · (Viennese) jumble, medley, chaos, tumult, trouble → also Remasuri; probably from Romanian rămasuri (plural of rămas): remaining, remainder, rest → synonym: rămânere; and/or from italian rammassare: to accumulate, to amass → Synonym: ammassare; both share the same latin root remaneō (present infinitive: remanēre): to remain, to stay behind (→ also origin of the english word remain)

about Anne / shortbio:

Anne Altmeyer (MSc) is a designer, an artist and engineer specialised in urban and architectural design and theory. In her studies she sets her focus on the social production of space and knowlegde. She has worked in several architecture offices in the area of exhibition design. Working at the intersection between art, technology and architecture, she likes to explore transdisciplinary approaches, as well as experimental and artistic research methods.
For a while she is also engaging in sound art. Together with Cathérine Lehnerer she develops and performs Sonic Comics, an art form, where live drawings emerge on walls and windows in the style of graphic novels, accompanied by synthetic sounds and narration.
Interested in urbanism, architecture, arts and media history in the aspects of technological, political and social transformation, in her current research Anne also looks into artistic, social and spatial practices as counter-cultural strategies.
