we got delayed coz a reporter from a news channel wanted o talk to us first...then the camera woman joined us on the bus taking the whole contingent of competitors to the venue. I appologize for the time the other teams spent waiting in the bus while we were being photographed. :awww:
the venue is a convention center or something with a large WIF banner in front and two toyota eco friendly vehicles in front. gee i wonder what the contest's theme will be this year.

the tv reporter then interviewed vinil in front of the building and took somemore pictures and video footage..:whistle:
The first seminar i sat in for was by Sacha Gattino a sound designer. the topic was "Sound mobility: a legaacy between art and tech.
he spoke in french and i forgot to grab a translation headset. anyway it was only 45 min long and i liked the examples of audio art he was showing. including a few cool websites. I guess some sounds transcend the barrier of language.:happy:

the second seminar was by Pascal Migayrou the director of Retiss
the topic was:
Archaeology of nanomedia: from self made media to webTV
This guy probably had some good stuff to show, but his mac crashed :mad: and the other machine he was using wouldnt connect to the net.
he mentioned joost, so i left a note asking him to look up miro. anyway he took all our mail ids so he could mail us the stuff he couldnt show us.
