hi all,

i formulated an abstract for a contribution -- stretching the 'academic 
format' by calling it an 'autobiographical tale' but still giving lot's 
of references (see attached -- lit list is still missing). ooooo and i 
were talking and i definitely see potential for some visual/textual/data 
collage that could form a dialogue with the written text. i also see the 
possibility for interlocking it with some other forms of writing or 
break-outs or some sort of comments or reflections picking up on ideas 
expressed in the text. i will hand it in tonight but if you are 
interested in becoming part after reading the abstract and in case it 
gets accepted we can see how we can come together.

greeting!

nate
