¶ its still very intense. i think this year is one of the most intense years in my life. it has got so much to do with emotions, radical expressions, euphoria and soul breakbeating.

it has got also much to do with learning, not only studiing, but also being concentrated on one particular problem - that is so everydayish but yet so essential.

today i was present at the jury meeting for an architectural fest. i was again surprised how similar problematic affects different fields of expressions: how same methods are used in creative fields as well as in simple commercial culture. culture, creativness, commercial are not ccc[tv] counterpoints but are actually merging same questons and are looking for similar answers. the questionmarks from la rochelle are continuing here - i figured out quite a few mutual points that we could adopt for the future.

i 'm looking forward for some strategic proposals to appear in this blog in further days, months, years ...

if we have already adopted some features that are enabling us ecological awarness concerning nature we are also able to adopt some of this awarness in the IT progress - thus the future is not only part of distopian vision but it can maybe bring the planet of egalitarian collaboration in a digital/natural network.

aaron the sweet :

(although it's forbidden to push violently) [i] can't wait to read digital strategies from meloninwhite labs.

big guys manifesto sounds like one of those rare statements that tell it all in fewer words than shakespear's sonets are made of. straight, associative, open and direct.

it would be interesting to find a similar associative arrays/manifestos from the "past" and do a bit of comparative analysis (ugh!)? ;]
