Rivers & Bridges : R'n'B#1 : 3 Marzo 1996
What we intend to do with this stuff is to document our development of the process in the preparation of the Southern wind contribution to the project Rivers & Bridges.
It means that we'll put all the materials we're working on probably without so called 'organicity', step by step. Somehow this is a dramatically different proceed. Normally we try get a clear, well defined shape from the very beginning of a such co-operative project.
Now, is like if we work on 'loud thoughts' where everybody can get in, in realtime

THINK LOUD!

We'll e-mail our loud activities to kunstradio and the same time we'll put everything on the Net hosted by Radio LADA / Giardini Pensili Web Site at the URL: http://www.iper.net/giardini/R'n'B.htm

It means of course not just text but also: drawings, handwritten information, sound files, photographs etc etc. This 'documentation' proceed will be a project itself on the Net.

Now there's no time to talk about the problem of language & translation. Ma ritorneremo presto anche su questo punto cruciale, sia da un punto di vista teorico, sia da un punto di vista pratico. L'uso della lingua inglese talvolta impoverisce molto la comunicazione.
