I'm back from Barcelona where I was talking about Spook... with David Casacuberta as part of a series on surveillance and privacy on the net at the Mediateca at Fundació "la Caixa". The talk was held at the very impressive Caixa Forum with simultaneous translation into Catalan ( a first for me ) and a very good turnout and interested audience. If you're in Barcelona check out the rest of the series if you can.

On the art trail I got to see MACBA - a museum that continues to impress - and Banquete a vast and ambitious exhibition of digital art currently at the Palau de la Virreina and travelling later to ZKM and Madrid with, I think, the possibility of further venues to be announced. As part of the exhibition they had set up a 4Mbps wireless network free for all in range for the duration of the show which I felt was a very nice touch and an interesting angle on public art.
