Tonight was the final night of this suite of Cross-Border Communication. We sent another set of messages to Detroit, and hopefully there were some receivers across the river, as I got to talk about the project on WDET’s Detroit Today earlier in the afternoon.

Huge, great exciting news! Our project, Cross Border Communication, is a finalist for the 2010 Rhizome Commission!!!
