again we have a great parkparty. at 22:00 30 bagpipes and drums show up! timeless sound fills the square for an hour. old and young, mild and wild - everybody's here and enjoying an a-typical villageparty. all the drinks and things we had to buy we sell very cheap - just to be able to pay the musicians. Luks shows the video twice, at 23:00 and at 01:00. the village people like to see themself talking about the park in the video. Markus and Yasmin did it very well - looks like a real. TV-produktion! next year we want to reanimate the classicle soccergame they used to play in the marsh near L.A. and we also decide to make the projectionwall a permanent installation. children asked for it!

we get a letter from AUA EXTREMA, they congratulate. and ask us to make detailed plans for end of november. then they'll decide wich 8 projects out of 12 they are going to realize. we realy would like to do it. also good money - we could invest in studio2.

we are working on the text for DIS-POSITIV, the project of Richard Jochum. we write about the windoor. a better contact and wider possibility between theory (window) and practice (door)- soory just in deutsch.

mailpingpong with Paolo Bianchi. he lets us know what will be the next KUNSTFORUM-int.theme: art without euvre (werk). good theme/question - is there still an euvre if people don't care about quality-of-euvre, but quality-of-life?

homepage - september 1998  (homeology)

now we are preparing Bolzano. we had this idea to project a very simple homepage, not show it on a monitor. Tal came up with the idea to project it on sand. now we imagine a children's sandbox, people sitting around looking the web... the homepage just shows three spots/grains of. sand, like the beginning or the end of something, and behind each spot theres a link - 1-cittadellarte, 2-calc and 3-the university of bolzano. we like the idea, because its the offer to exchange, to weave, to "build". we want it as simple as possible, like a built scetch. ordanary pressboards on a marked square.

so much work to do! Teresa and omi will leave to Bolzano next monday already! Luks and Richard will stay in Casqueiro, they'll work on new calcaxy and some jobs we urgently have to do - the fridge is growing thin again.

11-09-2000 - sky is closed and gray. art is a windmashine for blue holes.

good evening.

Luks and Ricardo don't have time...
they mainly work on STUDIO2, some updates for YHEPPA and on the new infrasturcture plans for the Lab.
will spring 2001, when the YEARoff starts to lighten up, bring calcaxy.03?

28_12_2000 - outside the warm, quiet lab, there's the moody sky again, shaking the world, changing quickly from bigblue to darkgrey light. x-mas time on the lazecoast. the barometer is drawing an extreme valley-mountain curve since weeks. the wind surfs us.

kaufmann_kaufmann.com still isn't done.
where men build house men also build trouble - but we just heared they'll be solved before the milleniumshift. but FRED won a design prize, so we'll make a simple webfanzine for the 12th of january, when this prize will be presented to K_K. and later on we'll do the w-site...

timebackmemoryloop: middle of september, T + o leave to Bolzano. this time just an idea on board, they'll realise all in the AR/GE Kunst gallery there...we had a lot of time to talk about and to imagine the web-sandbox.

one week later, 1600miles away from mothership it's. done - light on sand. the first real meeting with Erik Steinbrecher, the "curator" and pARTizipater and Judith, the nicest gallerist of all, ist good! Erik will curate the whole university-(p)art. we also can meet the architects, Bischof & Azzola from Zürich. Erik shows us the huge hole in the middle of Bolzano, where the uni is gonna be build. we have time to think and to experiment what we will install there. faculty of design, space in between, students. 2004 should be the opening. we agree to present a next step of "sandbox"after we have talked to Michelangelo, soon.
