[-empyre-] Norie Neumark: Resolutions for Digital Futures

[Timothy Murray <tcm1@cornell.edu>; Renate Ferro]

Hi Renate and Tim,

Soft skinned resolution for 2009, first try, stopped at the border

'Soft skin' reverberates all too painfully as I 
am confronted by images of damaged and destroyed 
bodies of Gaza Palestinians. Resolution seems 
futile. Yet my networks allow me to share 
information, support, outrage and maybe even have 
some political effect. Let's hopeŠ


Soft skinned resolution for 2009, second try... border crossing

Border crossingsŠ hoping for more porous borders 
in 2009 -- locally, globally, networked, actual 
and  imaginary.

This try too comes after days of listening to 
horrifying reports about Gaza. Despite 
globalization, too many borders remain as closed 
and troubled as ever ...  digital networks are 
all the more important to make them porous.
