Greeting Geert Lovink:

Best wishes from the Mind Island of DAXONIA...my name is Bruce Breland long time
cybernautical artisan and member of the DAX Group. I am sending you a cc of a
message to Daxonian Susan Wrbican (photographer) welcoming her participation in
what we call the "net within a net".There will be eleven participants
interacting with the members of the A.E Memesis panel, and it goes like this:

>Once upon a time we worked out of the DAX Group studios which were located in
the College of Fine Arts at Carnegie Mellon University - Pittsburgh, PA USA.

>The DAX organization was formed in the Fall of 1979. We were then known as the
Gekko Group and later we became the The Digital Art Exchange (The DAX Group).In
1991 we cut the tie that binds from the university mothership and began the
process of establishing ourselves as an independent trans-world artisans
network. The DAX Group (DAXONIA) free from the parochial constraints of an
institutional agenda and registered in the state of Washington as a non-profit
organization is currently engaged in the process of reinventing itself. Those
who know our work will recognize the names of Matt Wrbican,Cindy Snodgrass, Jeff
Brice, and Philip Rostek as members of the original DAX Group. They are now
joined by Jeff Breland who at one time operated a slowscan TV node in Baltimore,
Claire McConaughy, Rosy Beyelschmidt, Lilian Bell, John Heric, and Susan
Wrbican. Fine artists one and all representing the cities of Spokane and
Seattle, Washington; Mcminnville, Oregon; Tucson, Arizona; Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania; New York City; and Cologne,Germany...
                Memesis in process...this September 2,1996.
