Can't seem to fine the content for "Five Ambitious Commissions." I get a page with "This Fall/Winter, Rhizome presents events, commissions, and exhibitions that offer considered illumination of contemporary digital culture, provide support for artists, and elaborate our vision for the born digital arts institution."
That said, I have paid little attention to Rhizome over the past few years. I found things happening in more scattered locations rather than in a "central" site. This may be part of the problem. -- Paul On Sun, Oct 19, 2014 at 3:44 PM, Patrick Lichty <[email protected]> wrote: > I reviewed these, and it IS concerning. > Most of these are books and films, or operas?
