Hiya, Last week we heard from approximately 40 people (including a number of private emails). I just send a fresh renewal message and will do this for the next 2 weekends.
It's fascinating to learn more about the lives, thought and work being done by old comrades, and list lurkers and to hear about how they relate to this social space and the work of dedicated contributors :) I'd really enjoy meeting in a VR setting Mez - nice call! I agree with Alan and Paul that it would make sense to choose a place where people can join with either monitors or goggles. I am late to the "VR party" but recently started playing with VRChat (a highly programmable VR space) with friend and collaborator Cade Diehm (of the Para-real series <https://stream.undersco.re/ >). I hear you Paul in your desire to see people's faces and at the same time one of the things I really enjoy about VR, after a pandemic year in jitsi/zoom/teams is the freedom to give my face a rest. Also the ability to escape the world of heads floating in rectangles to play with the virtual physics of social space. Look forward to seeing what happens :) Warmly Ruth -- Ruth Catlow she/her Co-founder & Artistic director of Furtherfield & DECAL Decentralised Arts Lab +44 (0) 77370 02879 *I will only agree to speak at events that are racially and gender balanced. **sending thanks <https://www.ovoenergy.com/ovo-newsroom/press-releases/2019/november/think-before-you-thank-if-every-brit-sent-one-less-thank-you-email-a-day-we-would-save-16433-tonnes-of-carbon-a-year-the-same-as-81152-flights-to-madrid.html> in advance *Furtherfield *disrupts and democratises art and technology through exhibitions, labs & debate, for deep exploration, open tools & free thinking. furtherfield.org <http://www.furtherfield.org/> *DECAL* Decentralised Arts Lab is an arts, blockchain & web 3.0 technologies research hub for fairer, more dynamic & connected cultural ecologies & economies now. decal.is <http://www.decal.is> Furtherfield is a Not-for-Profit Company Limited by Guarantee Registered in England and Wales under the Company No.7005205.
