  • My Barbarian performing at #CTsummit http://t.co/GOth813u #
  • I bet you My Barbarian does birthday parties and corporate conferences. #CTsummit #
  • The anti-drug message on stage is disturbing. Is this a self-help clinic? Am I in rehab? #CTsummit #thoughtsofacaffeinestarvedBrooklynite #
  • I have to say that @GRITlaura is a good keynote speaker. This thing is getting better. #CTSummit #

  • I think the non-American presentations have been MUCH more interesting than the US ones. Sad reality. #CTsummit #
  • “All efforts to create politics as aesthetics have ended in one thing, war.” I’m paraphrasing (NSK) Neue Slowenische Kunst. #CTsummit #
  • Ok, now VOINA is here. #CTsummit #
  • VOINA said a few words and now they are showing a video presentation…I wanted them to speak! #CTSummit #

  • It’s strange to hear people laugh at VOINA’s work (laughing with them?) considering I know serious consequences they’ve faced. #CTSummit #
