Dear Kai Pata::
I am a PhD student at the University of the Arts, London who is exploring online spaces in relation to emerging art practices, and I just wanted to let you know that I’m reading your blog. It’s both fascinating and useful. So much relevant information! I look forward to commenting on specific posts soon.
Hey,
your comments are always welcome. There may be some common ideas and first experiments in relation to our ideas in hybrid space and meaning-creation with images and text in there.

Hi!
I am a doctoral student from Pepperdine University in California, USA. Your blog is fantastic and so informative. Just want you to know that I too have been reading and will participate soon. So grateful for your thoughts.
It is very nice to know that someone found it useful. If to study new media I think i as a researcher must really believe into its merits and try to use it in my research..mainly for myself…or to evoke ideas among other people.
I came here after google “alert” e-mailed me link to your latest blog post. It is good illustration of how amazing infospace is. Despite i am about 5 minutes here i found your blog interesting.
