[Nettime-bold] Mayor Jim Baca of Albuquerque |
Subj: Re: The Genius 2000 Video First Edition Date: 3/5/2001 10:02:00 PM Central Standard Time From: mayor@cabq.gov To: Nmherman@aol.com an apology is not needed....I just wondered if it were tongue in cheek! Jim Baca Mayor ++ I'm happy to hear you were not offended or irritated. But yes, most of my attempts to promote my group's ideas are tongue in cheek. The video however is a quite serious attempt to improve the democratic, non-partisan, non-denominational discussion of our nation's deepest values. We neither advocate nor discourage any particular set of beliefs; rather, we recognize the urgent need for all people--here in the U.S. and in other nations--to peacefully discuss what we call "hostilities of belief" and resolve them in a tolerant and forward-looking manner. I have already sent nearly a hundred copies of the video to various artists, scholars, writers, and public figures. If you wish to ask a third party opinion of the tape you may contact Alex Galloway (alex@rhizome.org) of the highly respected digital art site Rhizome. And if you decide you'd like to see the tape (nothing obscene or offensive except mild profanity) I will be more than happy to send you one. (Jesse Ventura has one, and so does Matthew Mirapaul of the New York Times!)
