content of the presentation

Thank you for your challenging presentation yesterday. I'm a student in Fine Arts at the Sorbonne and, if possible, I would like to receive a copy of the texts presented by Nishant Shah and Stephen Wright (presented and intended). I found your presentations extremely rich and I could easily place myself into your mode of thought which is why it would be wonderful if I could obtain a copy of the text or maybe you could just direct me to the links.
Gratefully yours,
Claudia

 

Sincerely thanks you for this

Sincerely thanks you for this presentation...
Really interested, too, by the text of Nishant Shah, I would like (too) to receive a copy of the text or the link where I can find.
The pertinence off a language modulation, and the point of vew on the shadow and his metaphoric perspectives, are extremely interesting.
Introduce a reflexion on the new media is difficult, especially in la Sorbonne. Thanks For All.
