Hi all,

I would like 2 thank Lisa 4 her description of what went "down" in
Cassandra - a mamouth of organisation! and co-ordination. Scott and Mark's
follow-up, and Jean Leavenworth.

"I think that as artists we tend to get so excited by the possibilities of
the technology that we sometimes lose sight of the artistic vision."
- and vice-versa. But I think what we'v been discussing here is actually
more 2 do with an approach and attitude, isn't it? or I am off on the wrong
track? A fantastic Finish choreographer sternly opened a lecture with the
following words,

"how do I meet u?"

nobody really knew if they were supposed 2 answer him or not! We sat
dumb-founded on our chairs, and listened 2 him repeat over and over again
these 5 words. It was terrifying/exhausting/unsettling. Eventually we
started 2 fumble our way in 2 sum kinda' response, and ended up in full
debate. But I'v found these words v. inspiring ..........

I'd like 2 point u all in the direction of a web-site which seems absurd at
first ............

http://www.moving-art-studio.com/september/hospital/hospital_eng.html

but then ...... makes u think a bit .... and wonder ... about art ...
media.....technology ..... body .... and if u r really feeling well at all!
(M@ggie wrote herself in 4 treatment by the way)

OK . here's one more question for Lisa, and then, I promise - no more ?'s -
for a while:) I really do.

When u have time Lisa, and i'll b patient, would u mind telling us/me about
the structure of the collaboration group. How did the project get born and
split into the different locations each with their different functions?

that's it folks

with love from
amanda
