[-empyre-] rehearsal of a network - [week 4]

[Shu Lea Cheang]

Dear all

thanks to Fran llich's latest posting (as promised) which coming at the 
tail end of week3 serves well to lead us into week 4. I believe there 
would  be some follow up for Fran's tremendous endeavours, Fran, please 
stay with us for this week 4.

This week we focus on proposals for speculative, tangible networks -  
the unrealized, to be realized, the anticipated, to be anticipated, the 
trashed and the in progress, deep sleep conjuration, deep water dive in, 
deep root expounding.... we open up this week to welcome all your 
proposal contributions.

I am honored to welcome the following three heavy-weight thinkers, 
writers, hackers, weavers+++  whose work i admired much to join us this 
week.
