After telling artist friends who visited me last night what I've been doing, one said '...but what are you going to do this year that's creative'. I'm sorry, I thought that writing, taking photographs and contributing to a blog in which I write exhibition/performance/installation reviews and other philosophical thoughts - often in a poetic way, WAS being creative. I didn't realise that activity in virtual space was so under-rated!

I believe the prejudice against the virtual is the resistance to change Margaret Mead identified amongst tribal hierarchies she called moneism, or the threat of the new. The virtual is unfamiliar, demands new activities and thoughts which are not yet legitimized by the appropriate authorities of delineation and specification, as M Foucault might have said.
