Miltos Manetas at Galerie Eric Hussenot, Paris
Press release: It started in Milan -for me- in 1994. Then in New York in 1998. In 1994 I got married- sooner or later we all did- to laptops and in 1998 with the internet. Married? If that’s the case, a divorce would be possible. Indeed recently, most of us left the 94 laptop-wife for
