Re: [-empyre-] interactive video, a few works for Easter

[Alan Sondheim <sondheim@panix.com>]

Hi Nicolas -

I want to say what I appreciate most of all in your work is its dirtiness, 
the ability to break through the clean and prper body (Krsteva) of the 
interface itself, not with debris, but with content that relates for me, 
more than anything, to experimental cinema and all that implies in terms 
of film theory etc. Not only does the 'grain of the voice' come through, 
but also the border's dissolved in a way that can only tend towards a 
future of interactivity beyond the monitor etc. Of Vadim's work, I have 
seen this in film itself...
