Re: [-empyre-] transgression and Matrix Theory

Hi Kate,
I am also interested in the use of the word "transgressions" in your connections with 
border crossing. How to you correlate these binary terms within a net/new media whose 
allegiance to rhizomatic principals may seem to frown on the idea of any fixed 
parameters - little own artists moving beyond (or within) them?
Have you ever found creating "an awareness (rational, emotional) of that boundaries 
existence" difficult?
Cheers,
Jess.
