===============================
c) net-art02/03? open_digi
as some of you may have noticed there has been no 2002 edition of the 'net-art'
open arena at www.net-art.ws organised or announced. As you can see from the
list of >wartime< project events and hapenings at top of this mail, for the duration
this is taking up the majority of available time of people previously involved in
running the annual 'net-art' event. So I am afraid this edition of 'net-art' will not
happen. Hopefully things will be more peaceful by the appropriate time for a net-
art03.
Similarly with so many shows and events of >wartime< planned or in planning
around the world, its really not possible to continue the monthly local open_digi
events in Brixton, South London for the time being.
thanks for your support
yours sincerely
