One more queston, also from a middle-aged woman, this time with an Italian accent:

Q: Do you think it's necessary to identify your aesthetics with a group of artists who you publicly associate with?

A: But what is "publicly associating" in this context? Our brand-name identities flow in the the same bitstream and are "aired-out" publicly via the same self-perpetuating mediascape. Besides, what are aesthetics in this context? I have no aesthetics. In the age of interconnected virtual realities, there is only one dictum we need live by: I link, therefore I am.
