[NetBehaviour] Reviewing as writing exercise - CTM festival reviews

[Mark Hancock]

Hi fellow travellers,

Does writing exist if no one reads it? Or ideas activated in the world if
not shared? (reading and sharing aren't always the same thing, right?).

I've been trying to flex my tired and atrophied writing skills while I'm at
this year's CTM/Transmediale festival in Berlin.

Here are four recent blog posts reviewing gigs I've been to. Part of the
exercise was to see how quickly I could turn around some moderately
literate copy, while not having to tailor it to the criteria of any
particular publication's house style.

As writers, we all have our failsafe, fall-back phrases and modes of
thinking that we use to get work done quickly. I was hoping to break
through that as the festival progresses. We'll see how that goes, I guess.

Thanks

Mark
