I met Angeles in 2002. She wanted to study 3D Modeling and Animation and offered her services as an expert in Flash animation in exchange. As an academic manager and audiovisual creator, the proposal interested me and I accepted. The TV reported bombing in the Iraq war, and then I decided to commission Angeles to develop a net-art version of my short film “Images of a Bombing” (1984), about the bombing of Barcelona in 1938. It was a long process in which Angeles expressed her creativity freely. “Barcelona Savagely Bombed” came forward in 2003 to what is now known as “web documentary” or docuweb nowadays. Thank you Angeles for your creative input.
