[NetBehaviour] An interview with Geert Lovink

[Annie Abrahams]

:)

I would be willing to go elsewhere, no problem
but,
what exactly is wrong with using a mailinglists, I just don't understand -
thinking I am too old, a bit out of what is happening "today", just explain
me what is the problem ?

yes, it needs attention, but that is just what I think a "community" like
furtherfield would need, if you are not interested in what's happening, if
you don't have time to read, than you don't belong here, than you follow
Marc on twitter and facebook and you'll get all you need

a mailing list might be a way to reach out at really concerned people

Randall, I do follow you, I would love to see live streaming at
furtherfield events, possibilities to connect directly to visitors and the
exhibiting/eventing artists - it would be great! (but again who will
organise that?) i would love to be able to ask them concrete questions
about the relation art and environment where it is showed, their
presentation and the public's reaction.
