AND THE CUBE CINEMA***
ALL WELCOME / NO ADMISSION CHARGE
Biography.
Heath Bunting emerged from the 80's committed
to building open/ democratic communication systems
and social contexts. He came from the street up,
passing through and often revisiting graphity,
performance, intervention, pirate radio, fax/ mail
art and BBS systems to become an active participant
in the explosion of the internet.
He has produced many internet projects, some highly
recognised and has helped form a strong context
for the practice of net.art. Recently, he has moved
into the field of genetics proclaiming it to be
the next "new media", and is also developing work
in the area of physical network performance.

END
The monthly "Second Thursday" ALUG Norwich Pub Meet is this Thursday,
8th September. It's at the Reindeer pub on the Dereham Road, just
opposite the City Gate. We'll be there from 8pm-ish, though there may be
a few people there earlier.
Topics for discussion will no doubt be as varied as ever.
Directions to the Reindeer can be found at:
http://www.alug.org.uk/venues/reindeer.html
Pictures of some of the regulars, and irregulars, and, well, just some
pictures of people that might or might not turn up are available from:

Which should hopefully aid those of you wondering who to look out for.
We're /normally/ just to the left of the main entrance.
