We got the structure, the design and the contents for the first CAL©AXY version and start to fill/program.

Hilario Suarez, a legandary barkeeper from Navia, asks us if we would help him to install a bar “without money, without time”. We have the idea to open not a new bar, but an old bar. We imagine, an owner who puts all kinds of images/memorys in his bar for 50 years. In two nights we install with friends all images we could have found… The “Alternativa” opens on 29th of March. We decide to hop into the net with the beginning of Spring!

Bertl “Angel” Theuritzbacher and Leo Schatzl visit us. They come with two fat Macs to Bertls flat, which he bought in Puerto de Vega, to practice new computerprograms. We think about possible collaborations …Leo wants to do a virtual portfolio and use the C-mall for his art-products…Bertl is cooking very good!

Graphic concept and design for the dealer organisation Asacuna, Navia, Spain.

We get invited by Martin Gepp and Kurt Spirig to join the RHEIN-ART 97 project, an international sculpture exhibition in Switzerland an Austria, to do a “virtual piece” – we want to do a translation of the real-works into virtuality, seen as an own complex “virture” (virtual sculpture).
