This is the inside of the place where I am training - looks like the Guggenheim
This is one of the guys I am training - he's from Hong Kong. They always hold their arms out like that there. It's a sign of respect.
The window inthe bathroom had a nice pattern on it. Taking pictures in the men's bathroom makes you look pretty strange though.
This is the schematic view of Flame, the compositing system that I'm teaching these people in Shanghai about.

Another one of those hotels where each room is created by a different artist - like Hotel Fox in Copenhagen, and Hotel Des Arts in San Francisco This one is in Berlin, within view of the Reichstag building, the Spree river, Friedrichstraße, Unter den Linden, and the Brandenburg Gate.
The picture is room 308, created by Stefan Bree (Hannover):
This light installation is a meditative, playful reflection on sense perception. The best effect is achieved in the dark with the UV light switched on. A monochrome picture entitled “before I vanish” reflects an image of the viewer that remains “frozen” as a shadowy picture, and only slowly disappears. The lettering installation “Luisiol” is similar. It is a game about sense and senselessness, new languages and meanings. After the lights go off the letters fade slowly; scrabble for the soul, a nice way to fall asleep at the end of a long day.
