The minimal conversation around the term "singularity art" is more snarky than academic. Nevertheless, Wikipedia will probably decide the validity of the term based on citations in academic publications more than on your fervent support of the term per se. If you know of any publications that validate the term, it would be particularly useful to inform Wikipedia about them. best, -- Paul -- ----- |(*,+,#,=)(#,=,*,+)(=,#,+,*)(+,*,=,#)| --- http://paulhertz.net/
