Next week we’ll present you Pep Torres, a neo-renaissance man as he likes to call himself. And yes, when you meet him you get the impression he could be a Leonardo da Vinci of the 21th century: a thinker, a creator, an innventor, an “agent provocateur”, a media man, a musician from Barcelona. If you want to know more about him and his work, stay tuned because in a few days we’ll post his video-interview here. Or, if you’re lucky enough and live in Barcelona you can go and see his latest works in the exhibition FUTOUR at the FAD, Pl. dels Àngles, 5-6 (opposite the MACBA). But hurry up, because this Sunday is the last day of the exhibition that takes an ironic and sometimes dismal outlook on the everyday life objects of the 23nd century.

And, talking about the future, Zak has opend a discussion about the future of YouTube and asks why we tube and what impact our videos will have on the way we used to communicate before we started send a video instead of sending a mail or a letter (anybody still knows how to write them…?).

We at Barcelona wants MySpace tube because it’s the easiest way to present the incredible richness of the people of Barcelona. The reason why we do this is to convince companies like MySpace ,and all the others who might plan to start operating in Spain, that this city offers a special and potent blend of creativity and quality of life, ideal for hosting creative interactive activities, making it one of the most inspiring places to be at the moment. Not because of its past glories, but because of its future present, us the people.
