When the early Christians arrived in England with the mission of St.Augustine to Aethelbert, King of Kent, in 597, the pagan Anglo-Saxons were so impressed by the Christian chants, the clothes the burning incenses and mostly the enormous books from where the priests were reading their teachings that some of them would fall on the ground as if they received a blow. text/html 2009-07-22T12:52:54-04:00 Miltos Manetas http://www.manetas.com/biennale/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=biennale&rev=1248281574&do=diff B Biennial F First Internet Pavilion, futuristic G Glamour H hypnotize I Internet P Pavilion S Science V Venice Biennial, Vatican, virtual W Writing ---------- Miltos Manetas Jan Aman text/html 2009-07-22T12:44:10-04:00 Miltos Manetas http://www.manetas.com/biennale/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=writing&rev=1248281050&do=diff We should always write in more than one language.

It is a place from where you can reflect on the order of things. The Internet pavilion is thus not the same as the internet. It is a pavilion from which the internet(s) and other related things can be observed.
