That was such a nice email and I somehow missed it until just now. I hereby submit a not much changed proposal that has been looked at by everyone it involves. It would be exciting to try for an installation for the NAC exhibition, and to work with documentation for the online hub and the publication! The November workshop at NeMe will help us pin things down further! The proposal: https://mypads.framapad.org/mypads/?/mypads/group/hack66- rv2kjs766/pad/view/hack66-for-respublika-nh2kms71r Let us know if you need anything more! C.

But I'm also committed to democratic processes (which shouldn't come as a surprise). I felt that things went a bit too quickly, and not everybody was in line / comfortable. Then it's wise to slow down, and not to rush into things. We can actually afford this, as we have a second call open (and the 15/9 deadline). If you're meeting up soon, one thing to think about is how you'll use the different spaces, in particular what you want where. We have four platforms: -the space(s) you select - platform 1 -the NAC (our material hub) (p2) -the online hub (p3) -the book, which comes afterwards (p4) Performances are a very important art form (and your plans look good), but they are famously hard to bring into an art space. That's why I want to invite you to think about what you'll do with p2 (and p3/4), knowing that the main emphasis will be on p1 (which is perfectly fine). And finally, you don't have to wait until 15/9 to submit the proposal - you can do this earlier too ;) Ciao Nico - R!curator On 12/07/2017 07:02, Orestis Tringides wrote:

The proposal came out of truly brilliant brainstorming. Orestis' performed serious magic setting the core around which we can pull together different scattered ideas. It was spectacular to see this kind of activation. My previous (frightened) email didn't show enough appreciation for this. I inevitably got told off (I was the name on an "application" that either leaked people's ideas or committed them without consent or credit) but it was easy to explain it was an honest mistake. The sense of serendipity around this persists, and the description is in development here: https://mypads.framapad.org/mypads/?/mypads/group/hack66-rv2 kjs766/pad/view/hack66-for-respublika-nh2kms71r <https://mypads.framapad.org/mypads/?/mypads/group/hack66-rv 2kjs766/pad/view/hack66-for-respublika-nh2kms71r>

Dear Chrystalleni,

We discussed your email about the R! submission not yet being supported by all involved. We do understand the problem, and apologize for any inconvenience that we may have caused.

As the proposal -according to your last email- was not carried by those involved, we have decided not to evaluate it.

You might have seen that we have launched a second call (see http://respublikafest.org/) with a deadline of 15 September. That gives you much more time, and we would like to invite you (and hack66) to submit your proposal for that second call.

Would that be ok for you?

Kind regards, Nico - R!curator
