"Good morning",

Are you already ready to our guided visit in the second floor of the Museum=
of the Essential and Beyond That?
The second floor of the museum is part of the primitive building and its ga=
lleries are created for the inauguration of it / July - 2002. Yes, the muse=
um have grown a lot since its inauguration, one year ago: the attic, Paris =
Connection and the terrace did not exist when our institution was launched=
. The text below was written to the inauguration
The museum started out as a "work in progress": so is it information archit=
ecture? But it is also an imaginary two-story pixel-building with a basemen=
t. The building's architectural design can be changed at any time, whether =
by constructing another story or changing part of its shape - a Niemeyer de=
sign, constellation, space station, Piranesi engraving: creative interface
. This museum was conceived as an open structure in which information is sp=
read out in a number of spaces; a machine that can travel infinitely in all=
directions.

However the second floor galleries are always being enriched with new works=
. The museum seems to be an alive organism, a spatial-temporal shape built =
up through movement: transportation and communication able to grow in the =
most different ways. We have already lots of growing projects to 2004… Yo=
u must wait!

r.

d one of his famous spams, including the spam of the museum ;-))
