I feel the same way unfortunately,
I'm based in the Performing Arts Department of Istanbul
Bilgi University and I really enjoy reading the emails
even though I don't write much.
It is great to hear about the NYU program because I was
a student of BFA Dance and MPS Interactive
Telecommunications Program there and after I graduated I
tried hard to open joined classes. It is great to see
that finally it is happening.
all the best,
beliz

Me too!?!
That said, we are all too aware of the lack of places
to gather, share, play, and think.
I'm very much hoping that the Dance and New Media
degree I'm birthing here at NYU with Bill Moulton
and Paul Galando will lead us to hosting such a
gathering... Ironically, I think our chair Sean
Curran performed at the last IDAT....
I feel like 'the conversation' has shifted almost
entirely to the realms of our european friends
(witness Johannes, Marlon, Scott, Mark and other's
now making homes for their work on the other side of
the pond.)
Anyway - this is more of a personal dream then a
promise at this point but it feels we need a space
to gather over here as well... and an NYC based
dialog could be quite fun/interesting...
In the meantime, I'll echo the sense of overwhelm in
trying to start something, make work, and negotiate
the realities of life at the same time...
I appreciate the call to link the worlds of making
and theoretical that what ever conversation we are
having is as widely relevant as possible...
as well as the appreciation for seeing old friends
here...
all best
Jamie

Johannes,
I am with Dawn on this one. Life has
taken me some strange places in the many years
we have all been at this. I may not find much
time to contribute any more, but I still like to
lurk and keep up with the old gang, and the new.

contribute. I seem to barely have enough time to
act in my own life let alone respond to the
abundance of information that passes over my
computer screen. It’s a weird thing because I
really like to know what is happening out there
but I find myself scanning more than really
absorbing the words/thoughts/ideas. I very much
miss our regular gatherings, which are probably
still happening without me, but my life is
different now. If there was a place for me to
check in, I would still. Maybe a bulletin board
would be a good way for those who can contribute
do, and those who want to check in can.

But it’s a reality that I barely have the time
to create/conceive and no time to reflect and
report on my findings. Maybe a bigger topic of
discussion is - how in the hell do we keep up
with all the discussion?
