Snowsculpting is a tough business. It is real sport and comparable to any other extreme sports around. Catering is key.

Finally we arrived in Oulu. Blocks are waiting for us. Tomorrow we will start carving. However, snow is not perfect. Much too warm. Currently we have 2 degrees plus. Very unusual for that time of the year. Tomorrow will be the lottery for the Blocks. Hope we get one, not too much exposed to sun.
Just one hour away from our final destination. Lothar brought some Bean Soup. Unfortunately the soup did not make it to Oulu. Bit of a mess on Lothars underwear 😂
Lothar did an outstanding job and created a beautiful piece of art. The sculpture is quite challenging but we a confident to carve it out of the block quite nicely. As Lothar always said: “The sculpture is already in the block, we just have to carve it out”
Name of the sculpture is “In the Matrix” – An abstraction of how social networks are determine our lives. There is always an exit, an open part of the fence. A life without being networked. But no one is brave enough to take the step.
Yesterday Dethlef, Lothar and I met to discuss about the sculpture. Finally we decided for one of the most beautiful one I have ever seen. The name of the sculpture is “Caught in the Matrix” and is a homage on social networks and what it can do with individuals. Stay tuned, I will post a picture as soon as I got the green light to do so from the team.
