Dear friends and fellow spectrites,
just a reminder of some basic rules for the spectre-list; this is
important to remember, esp. when you normally love attachments,
exotic colour fonts and multiple-address posting:
The Mailman-software we use is configured to accept:
- no HTML, no formatted text, no attachments
- messages must be smaller than 40K
- you have to post from a subscribed address
Messages which don't apply to these rules sometimes get discarded
automatically, so if you don't see your messages appearing on the
list, try the beauties of plain text.
This morning, the list has 992 subscribers.
Best regards from Inke and Andreas

SPECTRE is an open, unmoderated mailing list for media art and
culture in Deep Europe.
Initiated in August 2001, SPECTRE offers a channel for practical
information exchange concerning events, projects and initiatives
organized within the field of media culture, and hosts discussions
and critical commentary about the development of art, culture and
politics in and beyond Europe. Deep Europe is not a particular
territory, but is based on an attitude and experience of layered
identities and histories - ubiquitous in Europe, yet in no way
restricted by its topographical borders.
SPECTRE is a channel for people involved in old and new media in art
and culture. Importantly, many people on this list know each other
personally. SPECTRE aims to facilitate real-life meetings and favours
real face-to-face (screen - to - screen) cooperation, test-bed
experiences and environments to provoke querying of issues of
cultural identity / identification and difference (translatable as
well as untranslatable or irreducible).
