[Geowanking] Locative and pervasive arts event. ICA London

Thu Jan 13 15:04:54 PST 2005

Hello Ben,

Congratulations. This looks like an outstanding meeting. Along with many 
other international colleagues, I'm sure,  I am disappointed that I 
can't be there.  Are you planning to incorporate any facilities for 
remote participants - e.g.media streams, a dedicated irc channel,  live 
blogs etc.  ??

Many thanks-

Mike Liebhold
