not in vain aLe works with artists like Clemente Padin, artists that have a
very nice blend of intelligence and sensible way of doing things.
.'communicating a lot but keeping it simple'.
-The visual poetry, mail art, performances, etc developed by C.P. are very
interesting.-

what i was trying to say [thinking out loud here, sorry] was that maybe when
you put this things into an interface and into a medium where language(as
common symbols of a culture) is no more *the important* thing because your
work will end up on the screen of people that even don´t know where your
country is, nor your idiom, etc.
Then is when you begin to re-think the way of communicating things, and to
think in the way interfaces work, and the way to reach to a visually and
interactively/more_inmersive (even playfull) solution.

the case of the magic rat, for instance.
a work that has a 'navigational narrative' beyond the 'main line'.


btw, interesting review, regina :-)
