Dear Crumb
For some time I have been in private
email discussion with one of the curators
of the ZKM project that we have been
discussing.
I have asked him for permission to
make public our email exchanges
but he has refused, telling me that he
doesnt have time to deal with the
response or discussion.
I think that when someone creates a public
act like this they must assume responsability
for dealing with any "push back". The
virtual world is full of real people. Having time
to create a public project but not having the
time to engage in discussion seems to be
not much fun. Its easy to have fun by yourself
at other peoples expense.
He has appealed to freedom of speech
and fun as some of the background to
his project and doesnt understand why
some of the people whose texts have
been mashed without concurrence are
objecting.
The Leonardo/OLATS Advisory Board
chaired by Marc Battier is discussing
whether we will request that all reference
that implies that Leonardo/OLATS has
agreed to participate in the project be
removed from their web site.
