It’s all about numbers

Well, we didn’t manage to do much shopping, mainly because our time was taken up in some really interesting meetings about the multimedia and interactive side of 100 Words. We have made a very good link with the Media Lab at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. The quality of work produced by CAFA students is extremely high and we’re excited about the possibility of involving them creatively in the project. We spent lunchtime and the rest of the afternooon at Dashanzi Art District, talking with potential bloggers and having a great brainstorming session around the logistics of producing live linked events in countries 7 hours apart in time.  It’s no coincidence that numbers have cropped up throughout our trip, and that our final meeting should take place at 798 Space (all auspicious or lucky numbers, apparently). We’re also keen on ’12′, ‘32′ and of course, ‘100′!  Keep reading over the forthcoming weeks to find out why…
