Re: J.KOSHUT ABOUT MANIK'S NEW WORK


Hi Manik,

I think that this is a fine idea - a few people from belgrade, serbia
have been involved in Node.London and also visited the various
Nodes/venues that were part of the Season in March.

It seems to me that there are a few like minded people from belgrade,
serbia who are interested in similar media related proejcts but are not
connected yet - is there an online platform/forum where such seaside
frequenters can meet, or physical a venue even?
