The servers belonged to Google Creative Labs Sydney (now apparently defunct)

If anyone reading worked there/knows someone who did pls get in touch urgently so this pioneering work of digital literature can be saved

going to be in London for a couple of days in mid-Feb - what art should I go see?

'croissant oatmeal bake'?

Caiwei Chen at MIT @technologyreview.com recommends Amateurs!

i think i wrote that one already, but i might have a go at the first now...

a romance with no love interest sounds good too

i want to read a 'thriller with long flowery sentences'!

(spoiler: i am not leaving ireland as the headline seems to suggest...)

I'm in today's @irishtimes.com in a piece about Irish artists in Marseille & in great company!
