Good news everyone. We are being invited to the Cellsbutton#04 Media Art Festival in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Even better news – thanks to the Austrian Government and the BMUKK – the flight is paid for by Austrian Tax Euros. Thank you.

Nice to see many friends amongst the participants, including the omnipresent Hans Bernhard from Ubermorgen, Marc Dusseiller, Michiko Tsuda and Andreas Schlegel. Looking very much forward to meet the other participants too.
