They have transmissions in many different languages that can be heard on the Internet, by short wave and through FM radio transmitters and cable channels in the USA, Canada, and Australia.
While working in Beijing, China on the project “The most beautiful people in the world” a journalist called to ask if she could do an interview and come along on one of the visits to a most beautiful Chinese person to make a radio program.
Her name was Karen Meirik and it was great to have her join the project.
It was quite a situation: we went to see a soap opera TV actor who claimed that not only he was the most beautiful but his wife and his daughter as well.
Visiting the actor was the photographer and his wonderful team member Lydia Han, the team of the national Chinese TV and Karen Meirik of Radio Netherlands Worldwide.
What a party but the actor and his family had no trouble having so many media people visiting their house.
Yesterday the radio program Karen Meirik made for Radio Netherlands Worldwide about the project “The most beautiful people in the world” was on the air.
Announced with a story on the websites of Radio Netherlands Worldwide.
Karen Meirik did a very good job.
Catching the essential of the project and making her program interesting and pleasant to listen to.
How is it to be on the radio?
To get publicity for an artistic activity?
Most satisfying is that the message of the project is presented to the attention of many more people.
That is considered as very important.
Personally nothing is noticed of the media event.
Here at Punta Boca del Salado the Gonzales family has no idea that this is going on and they are not informed.
Within the context here it is of no importance.
No e-mails are received of listeners who might have something to say in response to the radio show.
But what can be noticed is an increase in number of visitors to the website of the persisting photographer: www.szulc.info .
The address of that website was published as a link on the websites of Radio Netherlands Worldwide.
What is really exciting about the project “The most beautiful people in the world” these days, is the process of having someone join the team to go and perform the project in India in March 2008.
There is now communication with over 5 persons who all are enthusiastic about the project and love to come.
As there is time, step-by-step it is becoming clear who that person will be.
It is not a matter of comparing curriculum’s and selecting one person.
It is a beautiful process of communicating and both coming to a conclusion.
In the past, a project has been performed called “World of Energy”.
In 20 countries worldwide a person and his or her family were documented active in a specific way of producing and consuming energy.
Resulting in major exhibitions, magazine and newspaper publications and an impressive book published in May 2000.
Although there were results, besides the visits to the families, the whole production of that project was one of the worst nightmares ever experienced.
It has been the most negative experience in a career spanning over 37 years.
One of the ways to make peace with that horrible experience was to start and perform new projects based on what was learned from “World of Energy”.
And this has been successful.
As awful the project “World of Energy” was, as wonderful the project “The most beautiful people in the world” is.
