Marco, we don't know one another.  But the question posed here is
appropriate for the list, in my opinion.  This is because film is, in my
opinion, just an element of a larger project, of which we are a part.  For
my part, the films will be shown as film.  I can say that about work I
make.  But it's far from all I will think about or do.  And then, assuming
these questions about art and exhibition are ironed out, we can get onto
the substantive project, if I may call it that.  Where to turn?  Your list
of titles reminded me of an artist who presented a website he built under
the theme, "nothing."  He had such diverse works under the heading that it
struck me as a kind of designer-project that raises questions about the
value of design.  I very much appreciate the reservations such a list and
such a talk provoke for me.  But it means I begin to think about, not film,
not formats, but art . . in an expanded sense, in a curatorial sense, in a
sense that is timely . . may I say, interesting?  Matthew Fuller's Media
Ecologies gets me there.
