Dear Geert Lovink,
i am already ashamed to repeat: it looks like you would have never heard 
of artistic work with border concepts before Documenta X, and such work
would have been possible to conceive only in computer environment.
why not mention the
- Republique Geniale of Robert Filliou and numorous following territrial 
concepts
- the artist's passports and actions such as the neoist passports,the 
Martian passport of Guy Bleus, NSK's passport, the nomad passports and 
the Manoeuvre Nomade,
- performance works such as the work of Guillermo Gomez Pena or Monty 
Canstin
- the Refugee Republic of Ingo Gunther
- Van Gogh TV and Piazza Virtuale
- Slavoj Zizek's text Es gibt keinen Staat in Europa
etc. did you forget Golania - or Romanian social movement is not 
important enough to remember?
