Note from the author: Ciao/CU goes together with a novel in print which will have the same title, and is written in Dutch. Aaaauw, about 1% of all webtravellers speak Dutch. Approximately 1% of my neighbours speak Dutch. I would love to give this story back to as many people as helped create it. That is why I have decided to experiment with this digital infrastructure. In English.
Ciao/CU is a story by An Mertens in collaboration with
in coproduction with Constant vzw with the support of Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie. With a big thank you to Laurence Rassel, Nicolas Maleve, Femke Snelting, Rotor, Maya Van Leemput, Myriam Stoffen, Pieter Heremans, Daan Pleumeekers, Mushon Zer-Aviv, Dan Phiffer and the entire team of Shiftspace.
