LA Weekly : "Apart from the unfathomable condescension

inherent to what amounts to a smug citywide territorial pissing, the wholesale conversion of arbitrary chunks of nonmuseum life (chosen mostly for their adjacency to billboards running from the Westside to downtown) into second-rate ’60s conceptual art is hardly going to convince the “sometimes wary advertising-bombarded youthful audience” targeted by the campaign that a wealth of cutting-edge creativity is lurking on Bunker Hill. Nor will it ingratiate itself with many artists, even the ones who still think using a museum label to identify smog as art is a pretty neat idea. Apart from the fact that MOCA commissioned a multinational advertising conglomerate to do what could have been done by individual professional artists, the jokes just plain suck."

Jean-Sébastien Marsan : "En somme, bien que les phantasmes technologiques

des ingénieurs soient sans limites, des contraintes physiques, économiques et surtout humaines détermineront l'informatique et les réseaux de demain. «Notre propre temps biologique demeure relativement constant, même si celui qui nous entoure nous donne l'impression de s'accélérer sans cesse, relativise M. Poussart. C'est ainsi que la dimension d'une main demeure encore incontournable dans la réalisation d'une interface tactile…»." I ran into Jean Sebastien at the bar this evening. I confess he recognized me first. I thought his face looked familiar but he turned around and, after 13 years, recognized my voice. Amazing.
