ciao lista,<br><br>per completezza di info, ecco il programma complete della Fake Cultural Institution REFF a Londra: una dlle prime domande è stata se anche noi tiamo subendo (fake)tagli<br>
<br>la serie massiva di workshop nelle università è seplicemente meravigliosa. anche noi stiamo imparando moltissimo: dalle osservazioni, dai dialoghi, dagli usi nuovi che spontaneamente le piattaforme suggeriscono ogni volta. <br>
<br>il prodotto ha gli effetti desiderati, e trasformarsi in pusher di droghe in realtà amentata e infrastrutture per l'espressione, la reinvenzione, la stratificazione di realtà... che dire: è una misura di welfare spettacolare :)<br>
<br>infine una ulima info: ance l'esposizione del REFF è un luogo aperto: per l'occasione abbiamo creato una mappa che sarà esposta e navigabile nella galleria<br><br><font color="#000080"><span lang="zxx"><u><a href="http://reff.romaeuropa.org/" target="_blank">http://reff.romaeuropa.org</a></u></span></font><br>
<br>per adesso ci sono autori, artisti, azioni ed eventi che riguardano il REFF, ma se avete opere/progetti che reinventano il reale, segnalateceli e saranno esposti insieme agli altri (v open call sotto)<br><br>baci+<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">A special task-force was required
to ensure the immediate diffusion of the REFF AR Drug to the younger
generations. Perhaps surprisingly the Fake Institution agenda has
inspired approval and enthusiasm in the academic world. In the two
weeks prior to the exhibition FakePress, together with Art is Open
Source, are running a series of workshops and presentations across
universities and to groups of students in and around London to remix
the world:<br><br>Southbank University: Friday 11th Feb <br><br>Goldsmiths:
Tuesday 15th Feb <br><br>Writtle College: Monday 21st Feb
<br><br>University of Westminster: Tuesday 22nd Feb <br><br>*Please
