But isn't this the process as related to an individual artist, ie what I, as an
artist, not in the abstract, must do or not do to open up my personal creative
flow. But the sense of meaning outside of myself, seperate from any
individual, the questions
Why and what is "aura" of art/artist? Is "aura" necessary? Cannot meaning be
found without it? Could not a consumer - find this aura inside themselves?
Thus art or artist becomes a triggering mechanism for discovery? In the anon
nature of net.art, where is the "aura" - back with the art? Or the medium? Or
the initimate relationship between human/machine/human?

NERUDA, he wrote about berlin and horses once. Throw stones. In 1922, both my
grandma and grandpa on my mother's side turned 14. They didn't know each other
yet. She became the first woman real estate broker in North Carolina. But the
bank account had to be in my Grandpa's name.

Could you collect the pee in a bottle, label it, and send it to me. I am
collecting bottled pee from laughing or crying.
