Thanks,
Giovanni performed in Dortmund as part of the Expanded Cinema show in 2004
that Mark Webber put togther. http://www.hi-beam.net/fw/fw26/1241.html
He performed quite regularly in the 1970s/-early 80s in London. His mirrored
sanding disk on a power drill reflecting and interupting image & sound of a
French documentary about being an airline pilot is still also quite
memorable.
Best Wishes
Rob
