Group 'Dream on!'
Yesterday, Wed, Jan 26, 2005, we learnt a new word: WINDCHILL
1] A still-air temperature that would have the same cooling effect on exposed human skin as a given combination of temperature and wind speed - called also chill factor, windchill factor, windchill index.

2] Nobody really likes being outside dealing with snow, windstorm and freezing rain all at the same time.

3] Nobody really loves running on a car park from 8PM to 4AM with frozen hands and manipulating a few hundreds shopping trolleys with a windchill of -16°.

But at the end, when we think back about it...
NOTHING STOPS US DIRECTING AN ARMY OF TROLLEYS!!!

Group 'Read on!'
Today we finished to 'draw' letters with the optical corrections and proportions. For us it's been a new way to do calligraphy. It's easy and attractive to test curves. Then we filmed the installation and currently we're doing a 'montage' of the film. It'll be a short movie, a video clip following the movements of a pencil and showing the letters constructions. We also started to digitalize the 'b' and the 'e'. It looks sophisticated and has a potention to be a new kind of calligraphic typeface. By'cha!
