In respond to your concern regarding content. My feeling, is that you
are not being over-critical, you are in fact raising the most important
issue that should be raised for any work, (technology or not)

</bigger></color></bold>Personally, It is the most important concern I
struggle with in my work. Additionally, in my opinion I do not feel
that members of our public really cares if works are technologically
mediated or not. In that respect, it is our responsibility to make sure
content remain at the for-front of our concerns. (specifically when we
explore interactive technologies).
However, my intention (in my last e-mail to my comrades) was to inform
you all about my next show, as well as extend an invitation to attend
in the event any one was planning to be in the area.
