Mit kleinen, scheinbar harmlosen Aufgaben lädt der Künstler Carsten Höller uns ein, den Alltag auf den Kopf zu stellen. Ob allein, zu zweit oder in der Gruppe - diese Spiele funktionieren überall: auf der Straße, im Bett oder im Zug. Ohne Requisiten und ohne Vorbereitung. Nur der eigene Körper, die Sinne und der Mut, sich auf etwas völlig Neues einzulassen, sind gefragt. Manche Spiele fordern den Kopf, manche den Körper. Einige Partien sind gewagt - wie etwa ein spontaner Aufschrei als Beifahrer mitten in einem Parkmanöver oder plötzlich (und untrainiert) einen Salto zu vollführen. Andere sind subtiler - merkwürdige Phrasen in Gespräche streuen oder dem stoischen Gegenüber ein Haar auszupfen. Mit wissenschaftlich geschärftem Blick verbindet Höller Kunst, Psychologie und Forschung zu immersiven Erlebnissen, die das Denken herausfordern und an Grenzen führen. Sein erstes Spiel entstand 1992 spontan, aus purer Langeweile, beim zähen Dinner einer Ausstellungseröffnung. Seitdem sammelt er Ideen - inspiriert von Freunden, dem Leben, den Surrealisten und Arthur Rimbaud. In diesem Buch versammelt Carsten Höller seine unkonventionellen Spiele und illustriert sie mit einer Vielzahl visueller Assoziationen. Auftragswerke von Christine Sun Kim und Anri Sala stehen neben bekannten Fotografien von August Sander, Nan Goldin und Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. Filmstills von Chantal Akerman und Zitate von Shakespeare folgen auf Gemälde von Salvador Dalí. Schnappschüsse von Joseph Beuys mit Sohn und Donna Haraway mit Hund finden sich ebenso wie Schätze aus Höllers eigenem Archiv - und dem seiner Mutter. Herausgegeben von Stefanie Hessler und Hans Ulrich Obrist, fordert dieses Buch zu spielerisch-intellektuellen Experimenten auf, die verwirren, verblüffen und am Ende immer ein leises Lächeln hervorrufen.

Flavor Name: Prickly Pear, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It taste good and what a great price! However it tastes very different than the Monin brand that I love. To me it taste a lot like the DaVinci cherry which btw is so YUMMY. Its not bad just different.

Best ever
Flavor Name: Banana Bread, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried a few others brands. This one is the best. I’ve drank flavored coffee for years. Banana bread is 10 star worthy, rich in flavor and it doesn’t take a lot. Very smooth. I like it alot. I’m not looking for another brand because I already know where it’s good. I don’t mess around with my coffee ☕️ 🍌 🌰 🍞

Try it in a carrot cake, it is yummy!!!
Flavor Name: Chai Tea Concentrate, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have without question been extremely happy with all of the DaVinci syrups, and products I have purchased. This chai syrup really was perfect for making chai lattes for my wife, and adding some chai flavor to other drinks, and I even used it in some cheesecake frosting, and inside of a carrot cake recipe, and it was perfect. I strongly suggest that you try it in carrot cake, and in other things like frosting. The chai carrot cake I made ended up being the perfect compliment to a nice cappuccino. I made a bunch of cupcakes using the carrot cake mix with the chai,and the chai cream cheese frosting, and with a nice coffee made the coffee taste better, and the carrot cake complimented the coffee perfectly. I have made them a few times now, and will say don't overdo and put too much frosting onto the carrot cake, and it is something I can't recommend enough. I actually have been using it more it making baked goods, and little desserts more then for chai lattes even. It just really works perfectly in them.

Comparing to the coffee giant version
Flavor Name: Brown Sugar, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Brown Sugar, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Starbucks comparison (from a personal standpoint): I’m fortunate enough to have a bottle of Starbucks Brown Sugar. Problem is, I’m almost out. Looking around at some alternative options, and reading the reviews- I see some saying this is a good substitute. Because I happen to have the syrup on hand, I figured I should see if it is, because it would be great given the low cost of DaVinci syrup. This picture I’m attaching is just to see the color difference. Consistency wise, the DaVinci syrup is much lighter, more runny. The Starbucks is definitely a thicker liquid, that runs much slower. Flavor is the big one: DaVinci is lighter on taste, and sweeter. The best way to describe the flavor is comparing DaVinci’s to 100% real maple syrup that’s been diluted down with water. It’s good, but not really similar (in my opinion) to Starbucks Brown Sugar. Starbucks is more smokey in flavor, more strong/bold. My drinks are made using espresso, oak milk, cinnamon powder, and ice. I made my drink the same way, but used DaVinci Syrup this time. I found that the same amount of syrup that I use for the Starbucks, didn’t feel like it had a strong enough flavor. What did I do? I added an extra ounce of DaVinci hoping to get a stronger flavor. The problem is, DaVinci is more sweet than the Starbucks syrup (in my opinion) and ended up making my drink taste too sweet. It’s sweet enough that I’m not going to finish drinking it. I’m not knocking the DaVinci syrup itself. I think it’s a good brand and a good flavor. It’s just not the flavor I was hoping would solve my issue for a Starbucks imitation. I would encourage anyone to still try this syrup, but do so to enjoy it for being its own flavor.
