Re: body/machine -- CORRECTION and comment

Dear List,

I'd like to thank Jim Ruxton for posting the notice concerning "Body/Machine".

I would like to point out, though my name is mentioned, my partner's
Frieder Weiß (or Weiss) is not. 

I mention this because it happens _all the time_.  We work as a
partnership, and yet his name is often missing, or is deeper in the text
than mine. 

Art-oriented technologists are often less counted or less mentioned than
technology-oriented artists, which, given the nature of our work, is
completely unfair.


Yours, 
robert
