August 2, 2004:

Tibor Kovacs-egri who already produced the 1st Webism DVD for the Budapest/Hungary "Alagùt" Festival has agreed to help us with the CD/DVD that will be presented to space company and his friend, György Jellinek will do spectacular space music just for this product!

WEBISTS, please start find names and addresses to competing spaceship companies trying to win the
$10million dollar first in space prize by the patron of this mission.

August 3, 2004:

Each artist can send up to 5 works. But no guaranteee all will be used. It
depends on final total submitted and how many Tibor wants to use for a CD
that runs about 45 minutes.

August 4, 2004:

further thoughts for special message to space project-

We can offer museums chance to have print show along with DVD/CD performance
playback.  We, the Webists, are making the conceptual connection between
online cyberspace and outer space, the similiarity being that BOTH CIRCLE
THE PLANET AND IS OMNIPRESENT IN VISUAL AS WELL AS COMMUNICATIVE
CAPABILITIES.
What we are doing as Webists are using museums as stepping stones to get to
a higher plane, the display of art for humans out there to appreciate the
appearance of our planet outside their craft's windows/portholes.  We are
testing whether the network of museums are stuck in the rigidity of moving
quickly on new ideas, opportunities as institutions to recognize and manage
real life history being made (tourists going into space) and assist artists
celebrating this new phenomenum of the new millennium.  If none can say YES
YES YES, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, then we all know they are
dinosaurs mostly relevant to the PAST.  Hopefully those that label
themselves as "contemporary" or "modern" can justify themselves as such.

I personally plan to send DVDs to the Honolulu Academy of Arts, the Bishop
Museum and Planetarium, East Hawaii Cultural Center, the Contemporary
Museum, and offer to lecture and present the CD in the University of Hawaii
Fine Arts Department's lecture auditorium.  So if others can think of more
other institutions besides just ONE museum in their area, please add up the
costs, Tibor!

Cecil our Space Art Insider just joined the Webists but has already done a great job! THANK YOU, DEAR CECIL!!!

----- Original Message ----- From: Cecil Herring To: Pygoya@pixi. com Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 4:09 PM Subject: I took first the obvious route
hi Pygoya: I found the Space Station's link on the NASA website and actually wrote them. Here is my letter: I got a certificate back that said they would read our letters! There is a disclaimer on the site that says the crew has never answered ANY QUESTIONS DURING THIS MISSION! So there's little chance this will work but it's a way to begin our project and get it off the drawing board. We can say we tried that already! ha ha.  I didn't actually know Turstig's location so said USA as is my address! Cheers, Cecil
here is the e-mail I sent tonight to the International Space Station from Florida at 10 p.m. EST:


Hi: We are a global group of artists who are putting together an art CD for your enjoyment. Ingrid of Denmark, Hans of Germany, Pygoya of Hawaii, Turstig and  I, Cecil of USA are creating Art for Space and want to put our art works on a special free CD for your enjoyment during your brief leisure hours after all your hard work. Our art works are small images on DVD/CD that could be opened up on your onboard computers and provide you with colorful  original artworks you could print . Perhaps you might enjoy paintings and digital art on your monitors during your leisure hours during your stay in space.  Give us your specifications and how to send the CD. We could even send the images via e-mail if you give one of us the address. We all have individual web sites so you can check us out! My website is http://www.spacescapes.com
I love all space travel and space art! We support what you are doing! Good Luck, Cecil Herring
