Dear Tamar=20
your message seems to talk about Deep Europe as roots ( and =
impossibility to have only one country-culture?).
Is that what you mean?=20
Do your net-art works deal with this?
Ciao

DEEP EUROPE AND DISPLACED IDENTITIES
A silent voice comes to life triggered by the deep Europe concepts to
comment about its identity. I speak from an immigrant country, my =
ancestors
came from Poland, I have friends whose origins are from all over the =
globe.
I leave in a mixed village by the sea where Moslems, Christians and Jews
leave together. 15 minutes from Tel-Aviv, Israel. The Muasine - Muslim
narrator, prays 5 times a day, this sound is overwhelming and punctuates =
the
days.
I cook Arab food with recipes I get from a woman I know at the local =
market,
mixed with Eastern European recipes I have from home. The language of my
trade is English, my syntax is weird, but my sense of poetry comes from =
the
bible, which is written in my mother tongue.
Life hazards, due to local terrorism attacks, is being reported daily =
on
tv, Our sense of a safe geographic map had shrunken during the last =
year,
but my real window is window's nt. The internet had always served as a
strong displacement tool, through which my displaced identity found =
fellow
voices that shared and enhanced my new media enthusiasm.
Internet communities like real life communities are always trying to =
define
an `other`, a bad guy, in order to map their boundaries. I find the lost =
of
boundaries thrilling. My web sites design, net.art projects and =
interactive
installations I dream up, trying hard to realize in a place where the
infrastructure for such a venture is scarce, are all strengthened by =
info
bubbles the travel through my mailbox, for I'm an artist who found the
virtual reflections a hell of a place to be.
