[spectre] re: Synthazards

[EAF Director]

Thanks for this Vladimir.

It is a quite interesting project, indeed.
I certainly look forward to seeing it in May.

I am also curious as to why you have chosen to look into, or define, 
these works through the notion of "hazard"?
Also curious if there is any connection to Rene Thom's catastrophe 
theory?


Cheers,

Melentie
