The big project
Wow, it is now February. I have been laid low by a cold for weeks now; it really does seem my immune system is worn down. I need a break to recharge.
I plan to get some sun in March; in fact, I could be spending not much time in London this summer and spring. I plan to be in Japan at some point to visit my brother and see some friends. I have a project to work on but I don't have to be in London to do it; I just need a laptop and a decent internet connection.
I am building a computer game as an art piece. I am working for hire for a fantastic artist by the name of Paul Noble. Paul has had exhibitions in New York and London. We met by chance at a gallery in East London last July. But really, I got the gig through Paul's girlfriend Georgina who is also a filmmaker and artist.
It all happened last summer in late June 2006. It was a lovely evening and I went to this showing with "mio fratello" Angelo. We were standing outside and chatting with people. Angelo was chatting with Paul as it goes and I struck up a conversation with Georgina and another fellow (sorry dude, I forget your name). 'George' was telling me about a film project of hers; where she was going to re-create scenes from old black and white movies and many of these movies did not exist anymore. I thought what a great idea and gave Geroge a business card and asked her to let me know when the film would be screened. She asked what did I do and I replied "well, I make computer games and stuff. "
