Hi,

I am sorry if this results in a double post, but I am not sure if my former
message made it to the list. I tried to check it on the website but the
current discussion is unavailable. Follow just in case:

convergence between audiovisual, design and new media. He is PhD in
Communication and Semiotics at the Pontificial Catholic University of São
Paulo, where he works since 2003. Bastos is the author of the e-book *Recycling
Culture* (NOEMA Gallery, 2007) and one of the editors of the e-book
*Appopriations
of the (Un)common: public and private space in times of mobility* (Sergio
