This meeting will take place in Medialab Prado (Madrid) on the week of the 3-6 of March.

Online collaborations are also welcomed.  If you’re interested on helping us translate the Inkscape and Collaborative Futures manual to spanish please contact me.

Today I had two meeting; one with the peer advisors and one with the technical group. They basically wanted to know a little bit more about the project that I want to develop during my residency, my goals and expectations. It’s really nice to know that a group of people will be supporting me during the process.

I presented my work to the rest of my peers and the general public. The Tikos were the ones that attracted more attention to the audience and people wanted to know a little bit more about it.

I am really exited about the project my peers will be developing, and I feel incredibly honored to work with so many talented people.

Today was my first day at the Almost Perfect 2009 program at the Banff Centre (Banff, Canada). It started with introductions from the staff of the Centre and all the people that will be involved with us for the next 5 weeks.

After the introductions, Jim, the nicest person, took us on a Tour around campus. Jim was a former geologist so he gave us really usefull information about the different animals and specimens around the Centre. I wish I had a better memory to remember all this valuable information.

After the tour, we received the key of our personal studios. My studio is big and bright. I was not expecting such a space.

Today I demonstrated my interactive toys at the MFA DT Symposium.  I got great feedback from the visitors.
