[NetBehaviour] Fwd: augmented reality art termed "offensive!" by Transmediale Director

[helen varley jamieson]

hi everyone,
i spoke to tamiko today & heard a bit more of the story. she was not 
actually presenting herself, but was in the audience at a panel on 
activist art when one of the panel members, who was showing tamiko's 
work as an example, invited her to comment on her work. her web site was 
being shown on the screen at the time. as well as stopping tamiko from 
speaking, gansing also asked for this to be taken off. nobody else in 
the audience said anything, which is disappointing ...

tamiko does plan to say something more about it but at the moment she 
has some deadlines; hopefully she will come on the list & discuss it 
with us soon.
