Re: [-empyre-] subscription

greetingts from ISEA,
We are on the ferry, going to Tallin --as I write.  We have wiress and it 
is going to be easy to communicate with the lists we all are attentive to.

Alan, I ask you to consider if you are referring to PHYSICAL perameters 
rather than the emotianal intimidation some galleries have.  Many people 
NEVER consider going into a gallery -- while logging on may need a good 
connection, equipment, and the knowledge to 'log on' -- similiar 
information is necessary to possess in order to 'enter' gallery (or High 
Art) rspaces.

We must be very careful setting up comparisons between these two very 
special environments.  Not everyone has your experience (or mine) in 
understanding the operations of a gallery, the business backing that has 
allowed it to be a reality, or the curatorial perspectives, in comparison 
with list management and the creation of a net community.

It seems like a kind of endless debate with no real positive outcome (to 
me).  Can we discuss -- for example -- how to bring the two worlds closer 
together, is there any reason to do it, and -- what do other people think?
