> > graficieni, programatori, activisti, teoreticieni media, etc) sa
> > experimenteze live varietatea continuturilor si resurselor
> > disponibile in imensitatea retelei. Continuind munca Dj-lor si
> > Vj-lor, artistii Wj (webjockeys) isi extrag materialul direct de pe
> > internet si mixeaza fluxul retelei la infinit, in timp real.<<<<<<
