If I get your drift, yes, we don't want to leave out the art aspect. so the
Center would focus both on art and technology

Good idea.

I am also hoping to build a large base built on folks like you find here on
this list. There is plenty of opportunity for independent volunteer
work such as oral history for one. I met Pierre Brochet in Fountainbleau
in October 2001. He was in his 90's then and I don't know if he is still
with us as I don't do French and have not kept in contact. Pierre has been
doing carbon since his teens and Dags and copper gravures too! Someone
should do some extensive oral interviews with him. There are lots of others
out there like him. He is not particularly known as an "artist" so he has
not attracted any attention from the museum crowd. Like he is only a
technical geek so why bother.
