Dear Colleagues, dear Friends,
Today, I was to supposed speak in Singapore, for the second time in the ISEA symposium, on the topic “Border transmission”. The title of my talk “No Space For This Time” is inspired by the future World Fair 2010 in Shanghai. It made following a first presentation at ISEA 06 in California. And it is also the continuation of a theoretical artistic event which I made between Shanghai and Munich in 2005 on an aircraft moving above the borders.
As in 2005, then in 2006 and now in 2008, I have always taken contacts with the French embassies and other cultural institutions, as an artist and a theorist of arts and the new media who lives in Paris and is open to all the world. I never received any answers or support from these contacts either in 2005 (Shanghai), nor in 2006 (San Jose), nor at this moment in Singapore. In 2006, the French Embassy in San Francisco presented my participation in ISEA as being supported, just they are now doing in Singapore 2008 (*). This is completely false and has pushed me to cancel this trip to Asia. This desinformation of reality in the name a country's culture _ while at the same time, all is done in France to no longer support the electronic arts _ is symptomatic of this unacceptable current vision.
Afterwards, I will take part in another event in Indonesia and I can not be physically there. But as for ISEA, where my text was published, I will make another virtual proposal from Europe. Also from Paris, by my not physically coming to ISEA but also by this open letter, please believe, dear Colleagues and Friends, my sincere support for the development of technological arts in Asia and everywhere on the planet: in the name of intellectual freedom and of the creative originality… of human beings.

You cannot beat him in hospitality and wonderful conversation. Congratulations. You have organised a great ISEA 2008. Looking forward to meeting you again and staying in touch. This show/event has been brilliant thanks to you.
ISEA 2008 shame on you !!!
What you say is true. But every freedom struggle comes from within the space of oppression. And if things are so bad in Singapore, why is it that there doesn't seem to be enough energy in the "opposition". Or has Big Brother won? In which case, your tirade against ISEA is pointless! Further, it is important for dissidents to work together and not co-opt ISEA into their struggle or condemn ISEA for its position.
ABiologist in Woolagong who hails from Bangalore? It's a small world. Well, there is a major effort to turn Bangalore from an IT Silicon Valley into a Biotech Valley. The government claims that Bangalore currently houses 92 of India's 180 biotech companies, with total actual investments of over Rs 1,000 crore, of which Rs 140 crore has been venture capital funding. Do keep in touch as Srishti is also interested in delving in to Bioarts and exploring the scene.
Thanks Tapio. It's a pleasure. I will get onto this a little later seriously. First time I am using Crowdvine. See you in India soon.
Hi Md, I'm keen to hear some of your electronic music... got any material online?
Avygravy I am interested to know more about Bangalore, I hear its the biotech capital of India and I am keen to vist and see what new media and new biology is happening over there. I have been working in collaboration with anbilogist in Wollongong who hails from Bangalore
Thanks for the presentation today, looks like an interesting development. My partner and I also produce an immersive audio-visual performance called Supermarket, it might be of interest to you...
