dear empyre-er


I am grateful for your contribution on WEEK1 topical discussion. Geert's 
comments can take further discussions. Special thanks to post from Hong 
Kongers in a very difficult time.


  Leaving week 1 discussion unfinished...


  For this week2 of September, i like to bring in two key writers, 
thinkers, practitioner s in media art who I respect, follow, bow to 
virtually (having not much occasions to take a pint together) to kick up 
the week.

book: Capital is Dead @ Verso Books. A Hacker Manifesto, Harvard 
University press 2004/, /a public declaration of principles for a 
radically new vision which calls to arms.2019, in her own words, “All i 
have is naivety and enthusiasm, having been out as a trans woman for a 
minute.I'm conducting an embarrasing self(ie) education in public. “
