Letters from Lebanon

Nat Muller (whom I interviewed for Rhizome, here
http://rhizome.org/thread.rhiz?thread797&page=1 ) is also there. An
excerpt from a recent letter from her…

I've been emailing with Doran Golan (http://computerfinearts.com,
http://dvblog.com and http://the9th.com) who's living in Israel currently.
He's usually in NYC.

His mom lives in Haifa and she's elderly and not well, so he went there with
his brother to keep her company (Doran is living in Tel Aviv). Haifa is the
town that's been getting a lot of the Hezbollah missiles.

He sent me a link to this video he took of a building near his mom's place
(he said it was only 40m from it):
