1) Something significant to you.
My Postcard“No name” of Teun Hocks artwork from the Exhibition “Juegos y Simulacros/Jeux Et Simulacres”

It reminds me to meditate.

2) An inspiration.
The Script: Smoke & Blue in the Face Script from Paul Auster.

3) Something you've done that is deeply interests you.
My multiplatform interactive cinema creation “Inside Track/Vía Íntima” with a Interactive DVD and Internet version www.medialabmadrid.org/viaintima and a cinematic linear version.

A) Why this item is interesting/meaningful/important to you (or universally)?
A.1) Because it shows the real small size of human being and that there is always bigger than one/ourself, something or Someone to learn from.
A.2) Because it shows the magic and emotional touching moments of human daily lives in a cross-cultural and multiethnic context.
A.3) The different ways to tell, read and experience a story or game context.

B) What are the issues, concerns, principles, processes or attributes that surround each item?
B.1) Humility, Discovery, Wisdom, Amazement, Learning, Spirituality.
B.2) Tolerance, Multiculturalism, Friendship, Spontaneity, Originality, Authenticity, Courage.
B.3) Personal History, Surrender, Hope, Miracles, Honesty, Willingness, Strength.

C) How is each item relevant: socially, technically, politically, phenomenologically?
C.1) To relative human science as a final explanation for reality, as well as humble rationalist people through inviting them to think about new solutions, and other type of higher life, laws and/or powers.
C.2) To show how the time people spent in knowing each other becomes the real miracle of experiencing the real life.
C.3) To demonstrate how technology should and can serve to classic and interactive storytelling and storyexperiencing and what are the narrative potential and levels of interaction that each platform allows.

D) What do you not know about the item, and would like to investigate?
D.1) Other artworks of that collection, how they relate to each other as well as more paintings from the same author. I would like to investigate the relationships between the organization, access and synthesis of knowledge and wisdom within small versus big spaces, the tension between the expansion and contraction of human knowledge and creative process.

E) Look at your three items as a whole and see if you can discover similarities (literal or abstract), are there intersections?
All of them suggest me interesting questions that excite my imagination: for example Where does that big foot print come from? What make equally human to different people? How new technologies and interactivity can serve to build humanitarian and multicultural dialogs?
F) Does your analysis suggest an area of interest, or (series of) questions?
Yes. Crossculturalism, Multiethics, Interactive Collaborative Projects, Spiritual Principles learning process, Sharing & Cultural Exchanging Experiences in general.
