Esther, his mom, is becoming 70! congratulations and a happy new year! while casqueiro is out of calcis (Curt and Dagmar also left for a week, because Curt is doing a mural in Munich) Richard and Valerie live there. they already started their cooperation with MANA V.A., but they also keep on helping us for the bigguest.net web site. and everyday calc's travel mailbox is full of questions and proposals around the BIG Social Game. and phonecalls, SMS's. but better we don't loose too much words about it now; the projectpool will be online soon, so you can have look what the artistic committee has chosen. Judith already left to Torino to do the preselection. on the 21st of July we will start together to go through this mountain of ideas. its the week when Stefan Münker and Annette Spohn will be here as experts to work with the a.i.r.. pitty that the calcis miss them, really bigpitty, but Juan will tape it on video, so they can at least learn indirectly. after some weeks working in cittadellarte and after all arrived we're doing a big welcomeparty. a real one! Juan, Charly and Teresa are installing sound and light in the performance room of citta', Fillipo fills the fridge and omi wants to be the DJ. wow, what a dancing night! 8 hours - from Barry White to the Beastie Boys, from Madonna to Eminem. everybody dances, everybody! it seems that we are this year after some weeks where we have been last year after some months - in the disco!. Benoit and Anke, his girlfiend, come to join the party! 12Kb Afrodite from BIG's office calls, they need a logo for the BIG Social Game they can use for specific print applications, like in the city programme, etc., we do one. again another one. the graphical line of BIG 2002 is that there is no graphical line, but a play. BIG graphical play. Luks and Märle and Curt are back in Casqueiro, Richard and Valerie moved to Gijon, where they live in Alicias house, while she is travelling with Alvaro. Curt sends an image of the mural he did in Munich. in an office house. looks good! how does it feel to go up and down this spiral staircase near this image which grows to the vertical or falls to the horizontal? 27Kb all a.i.r. work like crazy on their BIG proposals, in two days their projects have to arrive in Torino! Luisa (Teresas sister) and Tom (her fresh friend) are passing by. how good to see Luisa again! it rains and rains, but thats okay, the ricefields near Biella, where they grow the famous Arborio, will like it. today is the 20st of July, tomorrow morning Michelangelo, Teresa, Judith and omi will leave to Torino. there they'll meet Corinne and Ciacinto to start the BIG selection. finally we'll dive into the sea of proposals. we all are very curious to see and to find out how the BIG Social Game will be played. it will take us a week to go through all projects, after we'll have the goodbye-first-month-dance night in cittadellarte and then Teresa and omi will drive home again. August at the atlantic ocean. in September all, the a.i.r. and the calcis, will be back. sea you soon.
