Re: <nettime> ISEA 2011 fees

[Andreas Maria Jacobs <ajaco@xs4all.nl>]

Are not we doing that i.e. "self organizing", already?

One of the problems is to have distant houses and buildings on route  
spread across the globe to be visited in a free and open way and to be  
able to maintain these places of gathering with a minimum "personal"  
dependencies on financial and/ or tax burdens

One of these places is "Art Residency Walkenried, Germany" see:

Be welcome,
