49th biennale of art in venice. following is the speech which has been 
delivered by OBN at this occasion:

"In behalf of the Old Boys Network, an international autonomous cyberfeminist 
networking organisation, we offer this acknowledgement to Vuk Cosic. We 
congratulate Vuk on his success on bringing net.art to the venice biennale, 
which definitely is one of the pinnacles in his career. additionally he has 
curated the first temporary autonomous pavillion ever at a biennale. we honour 
Vuk in using his powerful position not just to represent slovenia and bring his 
personal net.art position to this prestigious international event, but also to 
show the positions of his net.art colleagues. we wish him well in his future 
responsibilities to the net art community."
