terrible news, having lived through similar times they have all my solidarity. but then why not simply release the archive in a torrent file? nowadays curatorial activities take place also within private trackers and there more people are keen to even payfor it. sure, it underground. sure, artists get nothing but visibility, as usual shared with curatora and aggregation platforms. but then at least it seems that visits are more while marginal costs are way lower. a bit of a provokation, pardon the cynical approach you really have my solidarity and I know how it feels, I only wish we could keep it afloat yet it seems there is no plan to "let go". maybe there is a plan after all? ciao # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:
