Re: <nettime> a free letter to cultural institutions

[marc garrett <marc.garrett@furtherfield.org>]

Thanks,

That's exactly what we have been up to...

However, it would be lovely to get some help from the academics out 
there who say they are into the type of things that we do, but rarely 
include it in their writings.

There's some heavy political stuff going on at the moment in UK - 
especially regarding funding and institutions affiliating themselves 
with 'happy-clappy' corporate hacking groups, joining together to cherry 
pick what they see as less critical works so to build a pseudo version 
of what many of us have spent most of our lives building -- this is 
being demolished by them right now!

I'm not even sure why I'm bothering say any of this -- it feels pointless.

If anyone wishes to respond and do something 'real' please email me 
personally.
