((If you're anywhere near New York, please come out for this
event on 12/7. As discussed earlier on Rhizome, Monkeytown is one of the few venues in the region supporting emerging artists (on a daily basis!), especially those using technology in their work. Their disappearance would be a major loss to this community. Plus the performers at this event are awesome!! ~ Marisa Olsen))
