Re: [-empyre-] Thanks to Paula and guests--and welcome Sergio Basbaum

["sergio basbaum" <sbasbaum@gmail.com>]

Hi empyrean folks,

My proposal for a topic on debate is something I've been thinking
about for a long time now, and that I´ve presenting in some events
I've been into recently.

It is the idea that the digital dream is the dream of a immaculate
informational fluxus, thus the dream of a "world without noise". So my
suggestion would a discussion on the topic "The work of art in the age
of noiseless utopia" - or something close.

I think this opens a lot of directions that would be interesting for
us to discuss.

great wishes from Brazil

S.
