One year ago, tonight, The Path was released from a bed in a room in a hotel in San Francisco, where Auriea and I first met in person, exactly 10 years before. To celebrate this double anniversary we’ll be revealing and announcing The Path related material throughout the week. So keep an eye on our blog, facebook, twitter or wherever you’re reading this!

Today is the anniversary of our collaboration. 11 Years ago, Auriea and I launched our first joint web site on the day when we met in person for the first time. Here’s a selection of one portrait, one project and one event per year.

1999			Our DHTML love letters were presented on hell.com as a pay-per-view online exhibition, entitled Skinonskinonskin.

2001			Our web work is featured in the bourgeois exhibition Belgisch Atelier Belge, among that of Belgian art superstars like Delvoye, Fabre and Tuymans.
2002			Tale of Tales is born during a research project at the Jan van Eyck academy.
2003			After their initial refusal, we convinced the Flemish Audiovisual Fund that they should support videogames, starting with our 8.
2004			Unsuccessfully pitching 8 to commercial publishers at the Game Connection in Lyon marks the start of our career as independent developers.

2006			We presented the Realtime Art Manifesto at the Mediaterra Festival in Athens.
2007			We stopped resisting Web 2.0 and started the Tale of Tales blog .
2008			Showing The Path demo at the Independent Games Festival to hundreds of colleagues and fans was an exhilarating experience.
