Collapse, L'Étranger
PUF's venerable Revue Philosophique de la France et de L'étranger reviews Collapse I in its October/December 2007 Issue, concluding sagely: 'Collapse se traduit par "effondrement", mais désigne aussi la perte de connaissance.'

VJTheory Publication
VJTheory/Realtime Media have recently published VJam Theory. VJam Theory (collective writings on realtime visual performance) presents the major concerns of practitioners and theorists of realtime media under the categories of performance, performer and interactors, audiences and participators. The volume is experimental in its attempt to produce a collective theoretical text with a focus on a new criticality based on practitioner/artist theory in which artist/practitioners utilise theoretical models to debate their practices.
