(homeology) 09.09.2001 on the road again with Truces! Tru-what? that's the newname of our newcar - Alba, the little daughter of Alicia and Alvaro gave it that name because our car knows so many Trucos (tricks). T and o in direction cote a'zur, riviera and Torino. Luks stays in mothership and keeps all running. see you soon, and hear you everyday amigo! next day we see this strange ufo-settlement in St.Raphael on the mediterrean sea. what is it? a hotel, a sect? we'll ask the next time we pass by. 52Kb same day - the first time we see kite-surfers, just before Cannes. we stop and watch and think in Alvaro…he loves the wind, the kite and the sea too...since years calc is following the inventions of sports- hardware. we'd like to invent one two, one day. maybe SPANADAs SYNCTANC should extend its invention-range? what do you think Ian? 20Kb we pass our first "art-gas station": LA PIAZETTA, somewhere between Genova and Torino. do gas stations substitute museums? this place makes us think about the end of art… and the beginning of real art; where museums substitute gas stations. 54Kb we arrive in Turin some hours later and meet all the others from BIG's artistic committee. in the early afternoon Patrizia from BIG (dept. sponsoring) recieves a SMS from a news service: "World Trade Center attacked by Jumbo Jets", we run to a TV, where we see again and again and again and again and again and again the images of the crashing jets. is that true? nobody can believe it. like you never believe action movies. 38Kb we are shocked and stop working for some hours, try to reach our friends in NYC, but can't get through…again and again the images of the crashing planes, the collapsing towers. this is also a kind of media-attention-terror. one week of work > catalog, graphic, which projects where, how to solve the problems of the big spaces? we don't want this one-box-after-the-other-architecture. lets visit the spaces soon and take them into our dreams. what did we always want to see but never saw it in the huge-shows? and the smashing planes. when we arrive in cittadellarte Michel Maffessoli meets the residents, his expert week starts, while he came for the conference about "the symbol". everybody is still under shock because the 11th. what can we do? each one of us? what can art do? Michelangelo comes up with the question if we should open an online forum for this question. on the 18th of september we meet Suhat together with Judith. she reserved a table in the arabian center in Turin. Suhat comes from Morocco and works in the juvenile prison of Turin. she wants to help us to make a contact between the prisons direction and superflex, who want to install a superchannel there during BIG. Suhat is great! she likes the project superflex is proposing very much and says she'll do all in her power to make it come true. the Lebanese cook tells us that the best Paella he ever had was in Gijon! in the entrance there is a sign expressing solidarity with all victims of the 11th. of course the 11th is a theme too…our arabian friends are very worried that xenophobics increase. so far they do feel a change, but in rather good way: italian neighbours show them their solidarity - islam isn't terror. we should know each other better. the islamic radicals who want "god states" on earth should know for instance the christian history better; they'd mabe see themselves in a time-mirror which shows all the opposite of what they want to realize.
