I have the great fortune of living in Buffalo NY and am greatly looking
forward to the upcoming conference -- though the next few months leading up
to it will no doubt prove very interesting and useful as well. My name's
Joanna Raczynska, and I program media arts for Hallwalls Contemporary Arts
Center in Buffalo. "The dynamics of collaboration, models of critical
web-based art, and the role media technologies play in the making of social
networks" are all interesting to me and I look forward to exploring these
issues with you. Many thanks.
