2 brand new presentations to announce:

In 1999, international artists Philippe Parreno and Pierre Huyghe picked a sad, lost and lonely Manga character from a Japanese licensing catalogue. They bought the copyrights, named her Ann Lee and invited friends and fellow artists to provide this virtual character with its own identity.
We have the honour to announce that Ann Lee herself will be giving the opening speech at the pictoplasma conference 2004.

Characters are doing it for themselves!

Buro Destruct, Switzerland's answer to Japanese craziness, have turned their hands to the VJ mixer.
They'll be taking the night train all the way to Berlin to dazzle the dancefloor with a mind-boggling set of plump unicorns, weeping moles and an elk.
