after having a great time hosting students from the Minerva academy from Groningen, the Netherlands for Transmiediale, things have settled down somewhat and we are finally able to sit down and work on some projects that need to be finished by the end of this month.

Lending her super design sense and corporate know how (something that the boys and i have very little knowledge in) maedel.maedel is down in Berlin to help us out with content creation for a proxy server we are building for a cafe in Mitte.

i may have mentioned Sankt Oberholz in previous posts, but for those who don’t know, it is a wonderful cafe in Berlin Mitte that provides free internet to its patrons, along with all the niceties that are involved with cozy cafes. We are making a proxy that will do things like banner replacement and also host a live web log to account the day to day community activities that involve the cafe. it feels like we are working on an online social network as much as making an ad replacing proxy server.
Collaborating on this kind of work makes the atelier space feel more and more like an office. definitely a place where one feels they can be productive. Yes. Productive.

Yet all is not working in a dark office in front of computer monitors. We also managed to get some sunlight. (Look! we went outside!)

*an extra special thanks to maedel.maedel for the help. i’m looking forward to the next collaboration
