I recently had an email from a friend in Pittsburg describing a lecture by
Ines (a Croatian Sculptor) which contained a passage which seems to me
pertinent to some of the brouhaha that has recently been consuming the list.
Even if it's not, it's a neat paragraph, and resonates, at least for me.
> Ines had one more insight she shared through her art which applies
> directly to [name deleted] ***. Her critique on the Internet while being
> humorous is also expressed very practically. She uses performance
> artists to express her critiques and masks are employed to depict
> concepts. To wit: For the face of the "person" on the other side of
> the Internet interface she provides a mask without features somewhat
> like a gas mask, or a mummy's. No gender i.d.
>
> N O P E R S O N A L I T Y.
