This update is different from the previous ones, because it is about itself as a phenomenon and how by the (re)action it provokes it might create a larger audience for its occurrences.

It investigates in a way what the relevance of the stordes updates is. The updates are intended to reflect the status of our thinking and to inform the readers about our work and initiatives. That means the content circles around the notion of organisations of works of art and what it implies in terms of the meaning of an organisation and the way it acts and operates. The form and illustration reinforce the meaning.

Normally the content and its form are as they stand without a further explanation.
