Special correspondent in San Francisco

On tuesday November 13 02012, the Long Now Foundation invited Lazar Kunstmann and Jon Lackman for a seminar titled "Preservation without permission: the Paris Urban eXperiment". This talk was given at the Cowell theater, San Francisco.
Lazar Kunstmann is the spokespeople of l'UX, a clandestine French group which did clandestine film festivals with La Mexicaine De Perforation and restored the monumental clock of the Pantheon of Paris with the Untergunther while Jon Lackman is a journalist and writer who chronicled much of their work in the February print edition of Wired.
After Jon Lackman had read a text jointly prepared, the enthusiastic audience of more than 400 persons had the privilege to watch "Pantheon, user's guide" a film realized by Lazar Kunstmann.
 

Then Kunstmann and Lackman joined Stewart Brand of the Long Now Foundation on stage for a question and answer session.
This was the first time ever that Lazar Kunstmann agreeded to publicly talk about the UX activities.
