[Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> how do i know i am having a poem in cyberspace? |
Don't know whether 'having a poem in cyberspace' differs much from having a poem, in text, image, moving image or sound. When you are having a poem, others know you are having a poem. You are speaking otherwise in a familiar way. There's no mistaking it.
