"I would like to write you so simply, so simply, so simply."
Jacques Derrida, The Postcard: From Socrates to Freud and Beyond.

Postcards from my desktop is a performance mixing RSS news feeds and simultaneous transcription. Sending snippets of communiqués across the ether, the work plays with interpretation, point of view and the imperfections of streaming technology.
Seeing the desktop as an exotic place where the world converges through RSS, the performance explores the limits of translation, immediacy and communication.

Renée Turner writes digital narratives and has been a member of De Geuzen: a foundation for multi-visual research since 1996. Her work can be viewed at: http://www.geuzen.org/ and http://www.fudgethefacts.com/
