> Hi Karen,  I was checking our your new issue of Side Street  when I ran across Natalie  Natalie Bookchin's work.  I'd like to point out that in 1985 I initiated a work called Bad Information.  The Internet part of the  project -- <http://www.well.com/user/jmalloy/bad.html  eudora="autourl">http://www.well.com/user/jmalloy/bad.html -- has been very well documented.  (in several magazine articles,  in several book chapters including the internet section of my forthcoming MIT Press book on Women in New Media)  Many Internet pioneers contributed to it including Howard Rheingold, Carl Loeffler, Abbe Don, Anna Couey and many others.  Oh and the non Internet portion (BAD INFORMATION BASE no. #1 about computer information) was installed at SOMA in San Francisco in  (I think) 1989.  Anyone knowledgeable about pioneering  Internet work would be aware of my work - so it was a little disturbing to run across Bookchin's a rip off of the project (the ideas are also similar) in your magazine.  If the point was how easy it is to rip off artists,  I think it would be good to provide a link to my site.  If Bookchin was actually unaware of this project, she doesn't have much credibility as an artist who claims to look at the Internet.
