About Me

MySpace Slideshow Upload Images MySpace Graphics MySpace Editor Photo CollageI&I Relations is a social-cultural organization which organizes events all over the Flemish side of Belgium. Founded in 2006 by 2 students from Brussels. Pim Rose a motivated artistic coordinator and Ben de Melker, a soon-to-be social-cultural worker at the ERASMUS hoge school, came together and started organizing parties which would bring people closer together.
Today I&I Relations has already organized many parties in different cities of Belgium. I&I is meant for everyone! From the slowest reggae bands to the hardest Breakcore sets, I&I Relations hopes on coming in contact with all sounds of the universe.
Because of this I&I Relations has had many co-productions with different organizations from all over Belgium. Organizations as Bugklink, De Vaartkapoen, Mekitburn, Clash Of The Cultures, therapy Sessions... but also artists as Venetian Snares, Bogdan Razcynski, Knifehandchop, Zion Train, Limewax, FFF, Throttler, DUB Inorporation, Neil Landstrumm, Frog Pocket, Milanese, Dunkelbunt, society suckers, ... and many more have past the I&I revue.
Since the beginning of I&I Relations the idea grew to organize benefits with social-cultural purposes. Now, after more then 2 years work, the first edition will finally go through in 2008. More information will follow, but it looks massive!
The benefits will have two main objectives. First and especially we want to be able to do our share in society by supporting the less fortuned. And second of all we want to be able to bring people together by using music as a method. Nowadays everybody listens to music, and that’s why we want to do something with it. By allowing to combine different kinds of music on our events we hope to be able to evolve the cultural insights of our visitors. And that they can build up the respect for others around them!

Influences: Behind the logo of I&I Relations hides a theory. A theory and a message we as an organization would like to share with you...

I&I Relations has a message. Instead of saying ‘you and I’ we say ‘I & I’ as a kind of reference to equality. You is represented as I because you are equal to me. I am You and You are me. So I say to you ‘I & I’ instead of ‘You & I’ because we are equals.

The center of the logo refers to the message of I&I Relations. It’s the secret center of everything, the point where we all are the same, where we are human, made from flesh and blood! We as individuals all experience identical feelings and emotions throughout our lives.

The lines are symbol for the life we lead (lifelines). As you can see they all point towards other directions. This shows the fact that we are never the same, that everyone experiences and interprets life differently. You can also see that some lines are shorter than others. Here we point out the chances people have in life. One much less than the other. Notice as well that the longer a line is, the further away it is from the center.

The circles are the steps we take in life. The first circle, vague in color, refers to the so many vague steps that we have to take in life to fulfill our objectives. The second circle, more solid in color, refers to our objectives we want to accomplish in life. Don't run if you can't walk!!

If you take a look at the logo you can see how certain people (lines) don’t even have the chances to attain their objectives in life (circles), and that others have passed far beyond the point of completing their life goals.

‘I&I’ to you all…
