paddy raises a point we should spend more time on. It's relatively straightforward to produce work that is slightly different or vaguely interesting and attractive but the technologies we're dealing with here are transforming society in very fundamental ways - I think we are still at the begining of the information revolution - and exploring the impact of these new forms communciations on our minds has hardly begun at all. When I look at this work I want a dailogue with the artist so i can chip in with a few ideas - now that's what social media is about and art should reflect the fact that we need to hunt down wider perspectives.
