Black Forest – Sculpture 2019

February 5, 2019 admin

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.

Sculpture selected!

January 15, 2019 admin

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.

We met Tarja Prüss who runs a great blog on Finland during our stay in Oulu. She is an exceptional writer and wrote a very nice story about the Baltic Snow Call. Her Blog is also very popular and a nice place to spend ours on great stories about Finland (Tarjas Blog). Check out nordisch.info to read all about the Baltic Snow Call from a different perspective.

Thanks Tarja for being with us and for the outstanding article.

Carving Day 4 – “Dancing Bubbles” is a beauty

February 25, 2018 Mike Schneider

The sculpture is done and so we are. The snow carvers party last night was a blast. The remaining Kirschwasser was shared with the carvers. We finished work on the sculpture around 19:00, just one hour before the dead line. After positioning the light we called it a day. The result is beautiful.
