[spectre] The McLuhan Centenary in Hungary

[stephen kovats]

Hi Nina, 

great program! really liked the initiative for the mcluhan wikisprint ... this could be an excellent springboard to look more closely at mcluhan's reception in the former 'east bloc' at the height of the cold war when he was most active. 

we'll help launch the 'Massage McLuhan Remix Competition 2011' at the upcoming 'Re-Touching McLuhan' centennial event at the Canadian Embassy in Berlin May 27th, when we host DJ Spooky who will be launching the first digitally re-mastered version of the original 1968 audio recording of The Medium is the Massage'  http://mcluhan2011.eu/berlin

cheers, 

Stephen
