hello Armando,
thank you for your comment about my work. I value it so much.
I have been soo busy with work that I have not have so much time for the network.
I would like also to know much more about your work.
We should have one skype interview...or in person if I can get there.
Be well,
Marlon

What a pity that she confuses technique and technology!

This is a wonderful video. I don't really like her taste, her love of gigantic scale... superrich production. But she's embodied artist. She's so there when she speaks and when she moves. it is a pleasure to see. And only after 15 minutes she speaks about techology (personally I don't care,) but it's never off topic in this list and site. That's why I keep on thinking that Marlon is doing a wonderful job for us. Thanks Marlon.
