I’m posting this quite late, but there are a few hours left in Anne Roquiny’s latest incarnation of WJ-S, a system she designed for audivisually mixing the web, like a DJ, or a VJ, hence « WJ ». At the Maison des métallos in Paris, Anne, along with Anne Laforet and Isabelle Arvers will be mixing the Internet while speakers of various ilk simultaneously discuss the last 15 years of artistic creation on the web.

Since I couldn’t make it up to Paris (train strikes), I’ve instead posted this pre-recorded presentation which will be mixed in with a series of links I was asked to comment. *Note: My presentation starts at 23h20.
