on the ongoing question of digital arts coverage in the media, and the earlier thread about the digital art hack at the Tate, here's another article for consideration, in which Ruth MacKenzie is quoted rather more favourably (as Hannah was good to point out)...
http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/jun/16/hack-the-space-tate-modern
CRUMB's PhD student, Victoria Bradbury, who is quoted in the article, will no doubt have some interesting findings to report on her participation in due course,

I agree with the above & Sarah’s post on the matter works for me.
Anyway — I’m too busy at the moment with our ‘provincial’ exhibition. A collaboration with The Arts Catalyst “SEFT-1 Abandoned Railways Exploration Probe: Modern Ruins 1:220 — Ivan Puig and Andrés Padilla Domene” http://go.shr.lc/1jy7AJo
It was featured in the Guardian last week by Jonathan jones ‘The ruin-hunters who drove a car down Mexico's forgotten railways’ http://go.shr.lc/1qwbV4K
And will be featured on the BBC news on Friday…
Oh wait! I get it, it’s seen as ‘provincial’ because the work successfully reaches people, beyond their art establishment silos. Of course ;-)
bye for now.
