Great Vacations and Endless Opportunities! Thank you for responding to our ad for Entrepreneurs. We are presently ta= =3D king on dealers who have seasoned sales experience or experience in runni= =3D ng a small business and understand the ins and outs of sales. Our product= =3D is simple, We sell One Vacation Package that everyone wants.=3D20 The customer receives: 8 luxury cruises (Carnival, Princess, Norwegian e= =3D tc), 6 Las Vegas vacations (some even include airfare), and 12 Luxury Res= =3D ort Vacations to places like Disney/Orlando (airfare is even included for= =3D 2 people), 8 days and 7 nights in the Bahamas (airfare included for 2 pe= =3D ople) and much more. You will sell this package for an incredibly low pri= =3D ce of only$1,399 and guess how much of that you keep. That's right your c= =3D ommission is $1,000 on every sale! Your product will only cost you $399 = =3D (buy as you go, you don't need to keep an inventory).=3D20 There are independent dealers selling 7 to 10 of these every week, every= =3D week. Think about what you will be offering, over 25 premium vacations f= =3D or what most people will pay for one vacation. Your customers will never = =3D be asked to attend any timeshare presentations and there is never a catc= =3D h with any of these vacations.=3D20 All vacations are open ended and 100% transferable to friends and family= =3D . Who would pay $3500 for a cruise when they can have 8 (same quality) cr= =3D uises for only $1,399?=3D20 All you need to do is put out some flyers and place a few inexpensive c= =3D lassified ads and then just sit back and watch your customers flock to yo= =3D u. A motivated dealer can plan on closing at least 3 deals his first week= =3D doing this.=3D20 *** Make this business as big as you want it. How much would you pay to m= =3D ake $3,000 to $7,000 every week? Well we are going to make it very easy f= =3D or you to get involved with our company,=3D20 Your cost is a one time fee of only: $995. Here is what you will g= =3D et with your investment: 1 presentation kit, a completely customized mark= =3D eting strategy, professional marketing advice, flyers (on disk) and class= =3D ified ads that work and much much more!=3D20 But don't forget the most important thing, you are getting a real tu= =3D rn-key business selling a product that is in HUGE demand that you can wor= =3D k right out of your house. Spend more time with your family and do the th= =3D ings that you want to do.=3D20 *** If you are truly interested in this opportunity and have sales experi= =3D ence and have $995 to invest in a time tested business of your own, we wa= =3D nt to talk to you!=3D20 Serious inquiries only. PS: You may be wondering how we can give so many vacations away for such = =3D a small price, well, the concept is simple. Every time a ship leaves port= =3D they are 30% unoccupied. Cruiselines lose money of every cabin that is e= =3D mpty. They would rather give away the cabin for free than have it empty b= =3D ecause they know that if a couple goes on a beautiful luxury cruise for f= =3D ree, they will spend more money on the extras like: alcohol, tennis lessi= =3D ons, souviniers, clothes, etc. =3D20 Statistically, a customer vacationing for free will spend more than the p= =3D aying customers on the cruise so the cruiseline makes millions of dollars= =3D even though they are giving cabins away for free. It is that simple. The= =3D same applies to resorts. =3D20 *** Call us toll free at 888-354-2111=3D20 Serious inquiries only. =3D20 ______________________________________________________=3D20 We strongly oppose the use of SPAM email and do not want anyone who does not wish to receive our mailings to receive them.

The White House, NSA, and National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) are warning of a dangerous new Internet worm called "Code Red." We've been here before. Just last year, we were all treated to the impending doom caused by a series of "Distributed Denial of Service Attacks" that resulted in a host of web sites going down. Imagine the disruption to the nation's infrastructure caused by someone's failure to auction off their great grandmother's curios on e-Bay. Conveniently, a few weeks after the dreaded attacks on the dot coms (many of which are now dot gones =3DAD and it wasn't a result of hackers), President Clinton hosted a cyber-security roundtable at the White House. The gloom and doom sayers pointed out why the nation was on the verge of an "electronic Pearl Harbor." Chief among them was Richard Clarke, the National Security Council's "Dr. Strangelove" of cyber-security. However, it is not an e-Pearl Harbor we must be concerned about but an e-Reichstag Fire. Back in 1933, Hitler's Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, a pioneer of perception management, hired a bunch of Nazi hooligans to burn down the Reichstag. The next day, while the German Parliament was still smoldering, the Nazis passed the Reichstag Decree, which effectively relegated the German Constitution and all of its civil liberty provisions to the toilet. But would the United States take advantage of such a situation in cyber-space to advance a secret agenda? They've probably already done so. Back in 1988, the Internet was treated to its first worm. Programmed and launched by Robert Morris, Jr., the worm crippled hundreds of thousands of computers connected to the Internet. It just so happened that young Mr. Morris's dad was the Chief Scientist at NSA =3DAD during a period when the agency was feverishly trying to test the vulnerabilities of various operating systems and application programs. But that was then, and Code Red is now. We are told that Code Red only affects web sites relying on Windows NT and Windows 2000. Of course, why would any self-respecting 24-hour cable news network want to show a housewife trying to struggle with a virus-infected home computer operating Windows 95? Better to capture viewers' attention with hordes of computer programmers and managers wrestling with downed web sites at Ford, Xerox, Charles Schwab, and Amazon.com. And that's the way the government (and apparently Microsoft) wants it. Microsoft, the humbled post-anti trust suit corporate giant, seems to be cozying up with the Feds and their cyber-security agenda as of late. At a recent Interagency Technical Forum at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Microsoft's director of Mobile Code Security revealed that Microsoft now maintains a full-time resident office at NSA headquarters with a fully-cleared staff. Even the term Code Red is a red herring. Just like Distributed Denial of Service attack, it is more out of the Pentagon's lexicon than that of computer crackers. Code Red is just too campy =3DAD seems like it belongs in the same league with the movies "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon." But Code Red is just the kind of term that might impress our otherwise attention deficit disordered President. Computer crackers, of course, like to be a bit more original and artsy, opting for terms like "Melissa," "Back Orifice," and "Michaelangelo" How many original code names ever came out of NSA? "Echelon," for example. Boring! Now Code Red, that's something that could have been conjured up by the Faulkners of the Fort! Why the Code Red hoopla? Well, in a few weeks, President Bush (with Dick Cheney looming over his shoulder) will be issuing a new Executive Order on Cyber-Security. He will appoint an inter-agency Cybersecurity and Continuity of Operations Board and his current cyber-security guru Clarke stands a good chance of being selected chairman. If so, Clarke will have transcended three administrations in essentially the same executive branch job =3DAD a record surpassed only by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. And tomorrow NIPC head Ron Dick gets a jump start on things with a press conference on cyber security at the National Press Club. Hyping Code Red is a sure fire way to ensure the conference is covered by all the talking head networks. And it does not hurt that today, while FBI Director designate Robert Mueller is fielding some questions on what the FBI will do on cyber security during his Senate conformation hearings, Code Red is a backdrop. Coming on the heels of the G8 Summit in Genoa, Code Red also bolsters one of the items on the agenda of the leaders. It was at the G8 Summit in Lyon in 1996, that the leaders first put cyber crime on their docket, a decision that was ultimately manifested in the Council of Europe's soon-to-be-enacted Cyber Crime Treaty. When enacted, the treaty will enable police agencies to reach beyond borders to seize Internet communications record traffic. The anti-globalization Genoa Social Forum got a taste of what is to come when Italian police stormed their headquarters and seized computer disks and Inte rnet traffic records. This past April, the FBI, acting on behalf of the Canadian police, seized similar records from the Independent Media Center in Seattle after the Summit of the Americas in Quebec. Not to be outdone by his peers, British Prime Minister Tony Blair =3DAD who resembles Big Brother more and more every day =3DAD hurried back to London to urge Parliament to pass a bill that would equate computer hacking with terrorism. Perception Management actually was part and parcel of the agenda of the same coterie of Pentagon brass and Beltway Bandits who dreamt up information warfare in the first place. They knew to be successful, the public would have to be force fed large diets of disinformation and sensationalized news. Ah,Dr. Goebbels would be so proud of them. So in the meantime, we should all head for hills. Because just like Y2K, our government says our American Way of life is threatened by unknown computer toxins. Time to erect our Computer Defense Shield. Fear is the greatest weapon but the truth is the greater defense! POSTSCRIPT: Not getting the media bounce from the 8:00 PM EST Code Red meltdown hour on July 31 (nothing happened!), the FBI began spinning the story the very next morning that 22,000 computers had been hit with Code Red. Considering that viruses and worms probably strike many more computers than that on any given day, 22,000 is a relatively low number. The cyber-security perception management machinery was also put into high gear in the August 1 edtion of The Washington Times. A story by Ben Barber hyped the threat posed by Palestinian computer users who have launched a so-called "cyber-Jihad" against Israeli government and corporate computers. The article states that the U.S. government-funded firms RAND and iDefense are urging the United States to adopt the same cyber defenses as those used in Israel. And the article gives us the potential next phase of the U.S. government's perception management campaign: Palestinian sites will start distributing viruses aimed at the United States -- one Palestinian site is blamed for distributing the Love Bug and Melissa viruses. If one remembers, however, Love Bug originated in the Philippines while Melissa came from Trenton, New Jersey. They are a long way off from Nablus and Ramallah on the West Bank. Even in pseudo cyber-war, the truth is the greatest casualty! http://www.politechbot.com/p-02337.html -- __--__-- =20 Message: 8 From: "G.H.

HAL2001 will be the biggest open-air hacker event in the world with 2500 visitors who will sleep, work and collaborate in tents. The conference program consists of 100 speakers from 15 countries. The conference and festival will start officially at Friday 10th august and will end on Sunday 12th august. The network that is being built starting Monday 6th August has a 1 Gb uplink to the internet and a glass fibre backbone. Every private tent on the campsite will be connected to this network. The huge amount of computers is powered by generators with a total capacity of 1,5 megawatts, enough for 25,000 light bulbs. Main topics of the conference will be security, privacy, intellectual property issues and various political issues related to computer networking. Some of the highlights of the conference are: Hacker Ethics 1984 - 2001, a panel discussion with Emmanuel Goldstein (2600), Rop Gonggrijp (Hack-Tic) and Andy Mueller-Maguhn (CCC). Phil Zimmermann, creator of PGP, will speak about voice encryption. A panel of security experts discusses Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. John Gilmore will address copy prevention versus freedom of speech. Drive-by-hacking, a demonstration of the poor security of wireless networking. Presentation by 'Mixter' of automated exploit tools. The full program can be found at: http://www.hal2001.org/ Hackers at Large is the sequel to the Galactic Hacker Party (1989), Hacking at the End of the Universe (1993) en Hacking in Progress (1997) which all took place in the Netherlands. ---- Note for the editor: contact information press@hal2001.org telephone: +31 53 4892425 mobile: +31 6 29018922 -- __--__-- =20 Message: 20 From: integer@www.god-emil.dk Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2001 21:45:39 +0200 (CEST) To: gh@popstar.com, nettime-l@bbs.thing.net Subject: [Nettime-bold] (no subject) Reply-To: nettime-bold@nettime.org >I have another essay coming out in Leonardo this=3D20 >Fall for the Digital Salon catalog=3D20 furdzr ev!densz leonardo =3D3D refuze nn -- __--__-- =20 Message: 21 From: integer@www.god-emil.dk Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2001 22:13:15 +0200 (CEST) To: syndicate@eg-r.isp-eg.de Subject: [Nettime-bold] \/\ Reply-To: nettime-bold@nettime.org Dear Netochka Nezvanova, CONGRATULATION i adore delicate discrimination Your paper/poster was comprehensively reviewed by at least 3 members of an international committee of experts in the field, i am an expert in everyology audience.

Each one will react to these questions, in five specific sessions: free links; strange or uncanny links; dangerous links; entangled links; on-off links. In conjunction with this event, Virose and V_2 Organisation have put together a contest consisting of the development of web.art projects. The contest is intended to promote projects of an experimental nature, as should any kind of initiative of this sort. As such, multiple and varied responses are expected, but these should not drift away from the proposed Links themes. However, there shall not be any limitations to the creative conception of Links, which should be developed in a conceptually expansive form or manner. The competition is open to any art project designed and developed specifically for the Web and produced after the 1st of January 2001. The deadline for submission is the 5th of October 2001, along with the submissions form properly filled out. The Juries final decision will announce the winner. The decision will be communicated to the winning participants on the 31st of October 2001. The US $2500 prize money will go to the best project in competition.

This groundbreaking work traces a fertile and fascinating series o= =3D f collaborations between the arts and the sciences, going back to the years just after World War II -- and even further, to composer Richard Wagner, whose ideas about the immersive nature of music theater foreshadowed the experience of virtual reality. Among the essential articles gathered in the book are the Futurists' 1916 manifesto on cinema, which declared that the new medium would unite all media and replace the book; Vannevar Bush's 1945 Atlantic Monthly essay t= =3D ha=3D3D t leads directly to the hyperlinks in today's multimedia; J.C.R.

With an insightful introduction to the volume and critical commentaries on each article, editors Randall Packer and Ken Jordan lead = =3D us through the groundbreaking developments of the multimedia story. The book publication completes a unique hybrid publication project that joins W.W. Norton with Intel Corporation's ArtMuseum.net, to present an untold history of multimedia. The book and the Web site, which was launc= =3D he=3D3D d in June, 2000, are meant to work in tandem. On-line, MULTIMEDIA: FROM WAG= =3D NE=3D3D R TO VIRTUAL REALITY is a dynamic, growing resource featuring hyperlinked texts and a wealth of multimedia documentation. Please visit the site at http://www.artmuseum.net. >From the early reviews: "The best guide yet on a subject of central importance to anyone interest= =3D ed in the future of media, and the growing marriage between art and science....The collection is historically significant, given that nobody = =3D ha=3D3D s ever woven together the different threads, thoughts and impulses that bec= =3D om=3D3D e multimedia, a new form both of media and culture....

Once you understand the way this works, you will also see how it= =3D does not work if you change it. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter, it will NOT work= =3D !!! People have tried to put their friends/relatives names on all five thinki= =3D ng they could get all the money. But it does not work this way. Believe us, = =3D we all have tried to be greedy and then nothing happened. So Do Not try to chang= =3D e anything other than what is instructed. Because if you do, it will not wo= =3D rk for you. Remember, honesty reaps the reward!!! After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and REMOVE = =3D the name & address of the person in REPORT # 5. This person has made it throu= =3D gh the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune. Move the name & address in REPORT #4 down TO REPORT #5. Move the name & address in REPORT #3 down TO REPORT #4. Move the name & address in REPORT #2 down TO REPORT #3. Move the name & address in REPORT #1 down TO REPORT #2 Insert YOUR name & address in the REPORT #1 Position. PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name & address ACCURATELY! -------------------------------------------------------------------------= =3D ------- Take this entire letter, with the modified list of names (with your name = =3D now in position #1, and save it on your computer. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES.= =3D Save this on a disk as well just in case if you loose any data. To assist you with marketing your business on the Internet, the 5 REPORTS= =3D you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing information which inc= =3D ludes how to send bulk e-mails legally, where to find thousands of free classif= =3D ied ads and much more. There are 2 Primary methods to get this venture going: METHOD # 1 : BY SENDING TARGETED BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we= =3D will assume You and those involved send out only targeted 5,000 e-mails each. Targeted email is to persons interested in business opportunities. Let's = =3D also assume that the mailing receive only a 0.2% response (the response could = =3D be much better but lets just say it is only 0.2%. Also many people will send= =3D out hundreds of thousands e-mails instead of only 5,000 each). Continuing with this example, you send out only 5,000 e-mails. With a 0.2= =3D % response, that is only 10 orders for REPORT #1. Those 10 people responded= =3D by sending out 5,000 e-mail each for a total of 50,000. Out of those 50,000 e-mails only 0.2% responded with orders. That's =3D3D 100 people responde= d =3D and ordered REPORT #2. Those 100 people mail out 5,000 e-mails each for a tot= =3D al of 500,000 e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 1000 orders for REPORT #3. = =3D Those 1000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 5 million e-mails sent out. The 0.2% response to that is 10,000 orders for REPORT #4. Those 10,000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 50,000,000 (50 million)e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 100,000 orders for REPORT #= =3D 5. THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5 EACH =3D3D $500,000.00 (half million). Your total income in this example is: $50+ $500+ $5,000 + $50,000+ $500,000.........Grand Total =3D3D $555,550.00 NUMBERS DO NOT LIE. GET A PENCIL & PAPER AND FIGURE OUT THE WORST POSSIBL= =3D E RESPONSES AND NO MATTER HOW YOU CALCULATE IT, YOU WILL STILL MAKE A LOT O= =3D F MONEY! -------------------------------------------------------------------------= =3D ------- REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING ONLY 10 PEOPLE ORDERING OUT OF 5,000 YO= =3D U MAILED TO. Dare to think for a moment what would happen if everyone, or h= =3D alf or even one 4th of those people mailed 100,000 e-mails each or more? There are over 150 million people on the Internet worldwide and counting. Believe me, many people will do just that, and more! METHOD #2 : BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET Advertising on the net is very very inexpensive and there are hundreds of= =3D FREE places to advertise. Placing a lot of free ads on the Internet will easil= =3D y get a larger response. We strongly suggest you start with Method # 1 and add = =3D METHOD #2 as you go along. Study the REPORTS (#1-5) to help with your marketing. For every $5 you receive, all you must do is e-mail them the Report they ordered. That's it . Always provide same day service on all orders. This = =3D will guarantee that the e-mail they send out, with your name and address on it= =3D , will be prompt because they can not advertise until they receive the report. _______________ AVAILABLE REPORTS__________________ ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY. Notes Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for each Report. Checks NOT acc= =3D epted. Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least 2 sheets of pa= =3D per. On one of those sheets of paper, Write the NUMBER & the NAME of the Repor= =3D t you are ordering, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your name and postal address. PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR THESE REPORTS NOW: -------------------------------------------------------------------------= =3D ------ REPORT #1:"The Bulk Email Survival Guide" Order REPORT #1 from: NYS P.O.Box 607 Dunn Loring, VA 22027 U.S.A -------------------------------------------------------------------------= =3D ------- REPORT #2: "Inside Secrets To Wealth On The Web" Order REPORT #2 from: JD P.O.Box 1114 Des Plaines, IL 60017 U.S.A -------------------------------------------------------------------------= =3D ------- REPORT #3:"The Secret to Multilevel marketing on the Net" Order REPORT #3= =3D from: JZ 1006 Lynn St. SW Vienna, VA 22180 USA -------------------------------------------------------------------------= =3D ------- REPORT #4:"How to become a millionaire utilizing MLM & the Net" Order REP= =3D ORT #4 from: J Santi 833 Walter Ave Des Plaines, IL 60016 USA -------------------------------------------------------------------------= =3D ------- REPORT #5:"HOW TO SEND 1 MILLION E-MAILS FOR FREE" Order REPORT #5 from: Aaron Croft 1037 Charlela Lane #206 Elk Grove village, IL 60007 USA $$$$$$$$$ YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINES $$$$$$$$$$$ (A note on mailing to Canada. It's just as easy as to the US. Follow sam= =3D e procedure but use 60 cents postage) Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success: If you do not receive at least 10 orders for Report #1 within 2 weeks, co= =3D ntinue sending e-mails until you do. DO NOT QUIT, you do not know how close you= =3D are to success if you quit, it may be the next mailing. THIS IS YOUR WINNING LOTTERY. After you have received 10 orders, 2 to 3 weeks after that you should rec= =3D eive 100 orders or more for REPORT #2. If you did not, continue advertising or sending e-mails until you do. Once you have received 100 or more orders for Report #2, YOU CAN RELAX, b= =3D ecause the system is already working for you , and the cash will continue to rol= =3D l in! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER :Every time your name is moved down on the = =3D list, you are placed in front of a different report. You can KEEP Track of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from you. IF YOU WA= =3D NT TO GENERATE MORE INCOME SEND ANOTHER BATCH OF E-MAIL SAND START THE WHOLE PR= =3D OCESS AGAIN. There is NO LIMIT to the income you can generate from this busines= =3D s!!! FOLLOWING IS A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM: "You have just received information that can give you financial freedom f= =3D or the rest of your life, with NO RISK and JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT. You can = =3D make more money in the next few weeks and months than you have ever imagined. Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do Not change it in any way. It= =3D works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to e-mail a copy of this exciting report after you have put your name and address in Report #1 and moved ot= =3D hers to #2...........#5 as instructed above. One of the people you send this to may send out 100,000 or more e-mails a= =3D nd your name will be on everyone of them. Remember though, the more you send out = =3D the more potential customers you will reach. So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent. IT IS UP TO YOU NOW! JUST DO IT!!!!!! ************** MORE TESTIMONIALS**************** '' My name is Mitchell. My wife , Jody and I live in Chicago.

"When you see an armoured police vehicle coming your way, you run or react in the same way you react when you see a gun pointed at you. We, in Genova, in Via Tolemaide, built a barricade to safeguard our well-being. For three hours we reacted against police attacks. We along with lots of others. Carlo died while defending himself against attacks by the paramilitary carabinieri.. At the same time, he was there along with thousands of men and women to affirm that "another world is possible". Luca Casarini, spokesperson for the group of social centers [centri-sociali] in the northeast of Italy, charismatic member of the Tute bianche, one of the driving forces of the Genoa Social Forum, does not have tempered words about the days in Genoa. " There is a huge difference between=20 those who construct a barricade to defend themselves and those who decide to militarily supress a large scale movement, such as the one against economic globalization. The former affirms the right to change a reality that produces misery and exploitation. the latter defends the G8 which is an illegitimate organization that wants to decide the destiny of the world ignoring the desires and hopes of those who inhabit it." In Genoa we have seen the end of political mediation between movements and institutions. I am thinking of the month in which the Genoa Social Forum (GSF)=20 carried out direct negotiations with the government, during which time the oppositional, center-left members of parliament said nothing of significance. Or the implosion of a party like the DS... To speak of death is sad after what happened to Carlo. Yes, in Genoa the institutional left died. Try to imagine the embarassment of the center-left which helped prepare for the G8 summit and then finds itself face to face with the images of brutal beatings and Carlo laying dead on the asphalt. They stammer and are speechless. And yet, preparation for the G8 was their thing. We have attempted to analyze the global government. We talked about Empire or better yet the imperial logic of the global government. This means erosion of national sovereignty. Not an end but erosion and reshaping itself into a global, imperial system. In Genoa we saw the warlike way in which this manifested itself. How to oppose this imperial system is a burning question which we were ill-prepared to answer. Il Manifesto: It seems to me that the Tute Bianche are also finished. Ended. That's a bit too strong. Exhausted perhaps, the conclusion of a phase, certainly. The tute bianche was an experiment which attempted to make the idea of conflict legitimate again. Try to picture the Genoa Social Forum. There are Catholics and us, the Arci, the Cobas, the Lilliput Network, Drop the Debt and Fiom. A powerful mixture. We acted as the main driving force without trying to gain hegemony. As tute bianche we have covered a lot of ground and questioned ourselves as to what we were doing. A positive experience but one which now seems inadequate to deal with the imperial system that faces us, where politics is the continuation of war and not vice-versa, as Karl von Clausewitz has written. Think about the Balkans, Palestine, Africa. Many people forecast that that this autumn we will enter a delicate phase of social struggle. =20 Workers who have seen the Cisl and the Uil sign a humiliating contract and the Fiom who has called for a general strike. Then schools that have become businesses, hospitals that treat health like=20 merchandise... It's these last factors that bring me to say that the phase of civil disobedience has been exhausted. Now that needs to change into social disobedience. It needs to be noted that all aspects of the Genoa Social Forum are in a state of crisis. But this does not mean paralysis so much as a recognition of the limits of its analysis, perspective and political agenda. That social forums are created in every city is positive, that they form alliances is fundamental. Even if I prefer to think not about alliances but a social process in which the movement becomes a magnet that exercises its influence on social forms and realities through a distance. Think about what happened in Genova with attorneys and volunteer healthworkers.=20 Lawyers who were certainly democrats but certainly not close to the Genoa Social Forum, who after having discussed the matter, decided to wear shirts with " Union of Democratic Lawyers" inscribed on them and to come to the demonstration; these same lawyers argue with genovese lawyers after the police beatings grew into the hundreds and had them write a harsh document about the workings of the government to the Department on Criminal Matters. Or look at the experience of the nurses and doctors who looked after those who had been beaten and then got beaten themselves by the police forces. Two positive examples of networks that developed as a result of being drawn to the theme of the movement. This doesn't mean that all is going so smoothly. We find ourselves faced with a tough difficult reality which must be understood and analyzed anew. It's not fascism but a change of state form which lends itself to a profound transformation in the means of producing wealth and subjectivity. And that is on a global level. Think about what happened on the streets of Genoa. It seemed like a riot not a street demonstration. This needs to be understood, analyzed. I am not talking about the "Black Block" obviously but about those that fought back. The so-called "Black Block" should not be incriminated though. They are people who believe that to attack capitalism it suffices to break windows. That's their "Smash Capitalism". We think otherwise. We think in terms of a process of social transformation where "the network of several networks" becomes a=20 magnet which grows in strength and favors the birth of other social networks. Il Manifesto: I think that it's right to posit that after Genoa "nothing is the same as before". But for you, what has changed? I ask that you revisit the days of Friday the 20th and Saturday the 21st. Or better the photo that the weekly "Carta" and then you, "Il Manifesto" published. It was done by Tano D'amico and shows how already in Via Tolemaide, well before Carlo was killed, the police [carabinieri] had pulled out their pistols from the holsters against us. This shows the militaristic position of the government toward the=20 anti-G8 demonstration. The police charged violently. We fought back and I stand behind our response as a political fact. Nonetheless, for us to also take up militaristic tactics would b crazy and political suicide. At Genoa there were all the forces of order, the army, the Secret Services of the eight most powerful - both economically and militarily-nations on the planet. Our movement cant measure up with that type of military power. We would be crushed within three months. Therefore we have to find a third way between those who reject economic globalization and those who opt for a symbolic gesture, like demolishing a bank. Il Manifesto: There are those who argue that Via Tolemanide was a trap into which you fell... Was there naivite on our part? Maybe. But I see it in another way. As Tute Bianche, we signed a pact with the Genoa Social Forum and we respected it. In the preparatory meeting for the day of "disobedience (Friday, 20th) we never hid our intention to violate the Red Zone. We were even clear about what instruments we would use. We didn't carry clubs or attack weapons. We didn't even wear white overalls, a decison discussed at length among ourselves at Carlini Stadium.. I think that it was right to do so because when you immerse yourself in a networked reality such as this movement, the important ingredient is not the demands of one group as much as the "contamination" between different groups who nonetheless share a common goal. If in Genoa we were naive, then this is how we were naive: remaining faithful to the pact, respecting those who thought differently from us but who like us wanted to achieve an objective. Was it a trap? Yes, set there to ensnare the entire movement. In the past, it has been written that the Tute bianche were faking it. That confronting the police was a gag. There were those who went to the point of saying that we had some kind of agreement with the police forces.=20 It has never been so. Two, three years ago we thought at length about how to act in a conflict without it becoming destructive. Our technique was different: we stated publicly what we wanted to do, letting it be known that if the police attacked us, we would defend ourselves only with shields and padding. It was our rule because it was essential that we create conflict and consensus about the objectives that we set-up for ourselves. In Genoa we expected that more or less the same thing as usual would happen. They deceived us.=20 Try and remember the meetings of the Genoa Social Forum with Scajola and Ruggiero: none of the guidelines agreed upon were respected by them. The police forces used firearms, even though they had assured us that they would not be. The right to demonstrate which Ruggiero agreed was an inalienable right was run over under the wheels of the armored police cars. Il Manifesto: And now? For me it is essential to start from what has been called "The Carlini Laboratory". Intense experience. It taught me a lot. For example, how to build a public space where "multitude" was not just a word but a shared political constuction by the "disobedient". -- __--__-- Message: 6 Date: Tue, 07 Aug 2001 10:18:59 +0200 From: Wander Eikelboom <wander.eikelboom@tyger.let.uu.nl> Reply-To: wander.s.eikelboom@let.uu.nl To: "nettime-l@bbs.thing.net" <nettime-l@bbs.thing.net> Subject: [Nettime-bold] son of star wars Reply-To: nettime-bold@nettime.org - pressrelease- STOP STAR WARS STOP THE AMERICAN MISSILE SHIELD Wednesday 22 August At the American Consulate in Amsterdam, Museumplein 19, 3 o'clock. Organized by the Jungle Association of Autonomous Astronauts The National Missile Defence system (NMD), which the American government is planning to built in order to defend themselves against miniature 'rogue-states' like North-Korea proves once again the high amount of slapstick present in the rhetoric of George W. Bush. He may be evil but he is still a lousy Darth Vader. Darth Vader, for all his sins, expressed himself in an intelligible manner, looked a great deal better and even posessed of a more coherent ideology. The missile system, however, is nothing more than sentimental machismo from frustrated cowboys: Bush bragging to Vladimir Putin he has got the largest (rocket). The expensive refuelling of the Cold War this missile shield is promising to offer, left aside (Greenpeace has taken upon this issue fairly decent), the Jungle Association of Autonomous Astronauts is organising this demonstration to protest the reality that every nation with the power to do so can use space for military uses without consulting the 'people'. Even though space aviation has always been part of military policies, secretely forcing the political processes at the background, this NMD plan is a slap in the face of everybody who believes in the possibility of a peaceful, democratic and creative space aviation. It all started so gloriously. Assuring to fulfil all promises made by science fiction, the official space travel agencies have become black holes. Boring scientist who have to battle with military and commerce for room and financial back-up, all proposing their own mediocre short termed projects. There can be no doubt that if we have to wait for them, it will take at least another century before the first civilian astronauts will get their chance to travel among the stars. This demonstration is targeted not solemnly to this Missile Defence System but also against the political processes which are at the background of it: the conspiracy of nameless technocrats who are operating within the shadows of their back offices without bothering about the consequences or moral problems which are connected to the abuse of space in the interest of an elite. Demonstrate with us in favour of a democratic independent space aviation. Demonstrate with us Against the National Missile Defence system. Bring your own sound system to this Demonstration For more information we refer you to the Jungle Association of Autonomous Astronauts website: www.socialfiction.org/jungleaaa or contact us by e-mail: jungleaaa@socialfiction.org The Jungle Association of Autonomous Astronauts takes part in a worldwide network of groups dedicated by building their own spaceships.

Paradox reigned supreme, in gray matter, and age-old=20 unanswerable questions were flowing... some later digital work directly relates to what was learned from=20 this early experience: * identity: philosophy, metaphysics, alchemy http://www.architexturez.com/site/identity/ HEALTH: diagnosed with bi-polar depression and actively administered=20 anti-depressant drugs while attending college as a preventative=20 measure, so as to remain within the irrational and counter-productive=20 educational system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1-- HYPOCRISY OF BUREAUCRATIC DEMOCRACY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: 1990-1994, on and off, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA College of Architecture & Landscape Architecture (CALA) EVENTs & ANALYSIS: attempt to fit into architecture school 3 times with no success.=20 ideas did not fit well within the corporatized studio-driven=20 educational model, which does not allow for basic research.=20 imagination, while good for design, was a negative in that i 'did the=20 opposite of everyone else' and was called 'schizophrenic' for work i=20 pursued. never did anything 'right', in an esoteric type of=20 moral-architectural truth. for example, in a course on environmental=20 systems, by including noise from airplanes and cars, and pollution=20 from the busy streets next to a famous architect's library, my work=20 was chided by the teacher as i was disrespecting authority by=20 bringing up these issues in my homework, well within the range of=20 reasoning... . during one of my three times leaving architectural school an=20 architectural teacher whom i once admired, Andrzej Piotrowski , told=20 me in no uncertain terms that i could never study, understand, nor=20 know 'Architecture' outside of the University. i disagreed, may have=20 called it 'dogma' as he liked to say to me, and proceeded to leave=20 school, considered a failure. wrote to this teacher later regarding=20 my work but was never responded to, as i was no longer a part of the=20 institution, even though i was doing public architectural work. this=20 professor has just published a book from the University Press on=20 Architectural Discipline and Authority. This is highly disturbing in=20 that while he may understand power, he lacks a broader truth. This is=20 amongst the gravest insults i have encountered in my journeys, the=20 betrayal of truth by power, and the takeover of public education by a=20 privatized despotism. . well-known urban planner William Morrish met with me during his after=20 class hours. Morris had a class similar to the book Defining=20 Community: A Neighborhood Perspective which "... identifies and=20 synthesizes the ideas, strategies, and partnerships that Minneapolis=20 residents are generating through a wide variety of neighborhood=20 planning processes, particularly the Neighborhood Revitalization=20 Program (NRP)." at that time i was working for the University of Minnesota's Center=20 for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA) for the NRP in Minneapolis'=20 Phillips neighborhood as a housing researcher and was actually doing=20 the work the class was about. the class project i presented expanded=20 the local media infrastructure to empower the community, such as with=20 freenets, bulletin board systems (BBS), and community radio. my work=20 was considered 'confusing' to the Teaching Assistant, as they did not=20 understand it (or what a computer network was), and i received a poor=20 grade. When i went to talk with the professor about this, he confided=20 something to the effect that school was not the time for working on=20 your own ideas. that it would take fifteen years, and if i wanted to=20 work on my own ideas it may be better to leave school. i was ready to=20 do my thesis at the end of grade1 and had 3 years to wait before i=20 could, and even then i would not be able to pursue `basic research'=20 dealing the role of electrification within the built environment, but=20 instead would be 'designing' a building for a fictional client. thus, i was told in so many words by Morris that my personal (public)=20 architectural ideas did not belong in a University college of=20 architecture, and that i'd have to leave to work on these ideas. he=20 said this with compassion and pragmatism, and i appreciated his=20 honesty. yet, for me this was a cultural death sentence, being a=20 student without a degree, with no hope of working in the profession,=20 student loan debts, and in waiting arms of the psychiatric arm of the=20 state. . met with studio professor Lance Lavine and tried conveying my ideas=20 on electricity's role in architecture by showing brochures for=20 American Electric streetlights and comparing theme to the Classical=20 orders of Greco-Roman architecture. I was told 'this is not=20 architecture, this is engineering' in absolute terms. meaning that it=20 had no cultural dimension. ironically, this same teacher publishes a book on Mechanics and=20 Meaning in Architecture from the University Press in 2000, which=20 explores '...technology's role in architecture and, in turn,=20 humanity's understanding of nature." and his work focusses on=20 electrical HVAC systems which would not exist today without=20 electricity and such absolute statements were and are absurd but=20 cannot be challenged, as they are status quo answers beyond=20 questioning, even to this day, as truth is secondary to power in=20 architectural discourse. . during a class presentation, studio professor B. Aaron Parker=20 censored me when saying i could not discuss the electrical=20 distribution 'poles' on my map for my studio project, as they were=20 not architecture. i said they were architecture, and he declared i=20 could not talk about them. This is the map i worked on to show how=20 the electrical distribution grid is an architectural order in the=20 built environment but it was the 'wrong' idea, again... * contextual site map displaying electrical order http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/icons/map.html i left the architectural program after appealing to the Dean that i=20 was being censored, and even had my work ruined when a vandal threw=20 water all over the map. . i went to the office of the Dean of CALA at that time, Harrison=20 Fraker, Jr. and tried to convey my intentions that i was being held=20 back by the educational system. He was unable to help find a way for=20 me to continue my work at the university, and i was handed down to=20 three professors who were also unable to relate to anything i was=20 saying about the electrical infrastructure, computer networks, the=20 Internet, etceteras. Ironically when i asked for Dean Fraker's help, he ended up saying,=20 in effect: there is nothing i can do. i was referred to go to the=20 Independent Study program at the University. It is quite ironic to me=20 that this architectural administrator is now the Dean of the College=20 of Environmental Design at the University of California, Berkeley. it=20 shows how the spirit of freedom of thought of the 1960s student=20 movement in the University has been rolled-back when a helpless Dean=20 now leads a supposedly emancipated school. It is indicative of how=20 radically conservative the architectural profession remains today. HEALTH: frustrated, was told to see a University psychiatrist, which i did to=20 stay in school. i was given medicines such as tranquilizers and=20 anti-psychotics while telling the psychiatrist that what i was=20 attempting to say in architectural school was being censored and=20 unfair. That i was sane, that the teachers would not accept facts=20 into debates, etc. productive period of ascii architecture, where my ideas were not=20 accepted in school, so i put them online, specifically in the=20 design-lit forum from Pennsylvania State University, a list founded=20 by Howard Ray Lawrence and now run by John Young of cryptome.org. My posts on the design-list range from the architectural=20 establishment to my specific ideas on the implicit role of=20 electricity in understanding the built environment and architecture=20 of the present day, including the early Internet. anxiety attack when professor said i could not present my own work in=20 front of the 100 or so classmates. another student presented my work as i had to stand by listening.=20 they didn't even know what my work was about. as i heard them=20 improvise an architectural presentation about it which had nothing to=20 do with what i created, but with what the 'educators' wanted students=20 to hear, see, and believe. i started to hyperventilate and my chest and arms tightened and i ran=20 to the hospital, as i began getting extremely ill from the absurdity=20 of this situation. It was apparent i was the one who did not belong in this system, and=20 could not be made to fit either, as i was too wild, or 'not=20 disciplined' enough. i contacted the Legal Aid society and tried to bring a lawsuit=20 against the University for limiting my ability to speak about my=20 ideas in school. but they said they could not take the case, as it=20 was not clear cut enough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2-- INDEPENDENT ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: 1993, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA Program for Individualized Learning (PIL) EVENTs & ANALYSIS: apply for an Independent Study at the Program for Individualized=20 Learning (PIL) at the University of Minnesota. After three failed=20 attempts to fit my public educational pursuits into the College of=20 Architecture (CALA) `training' environment, it was my last hope to=20 continue my work. As I remember the application was turned down on its own merits. I=20 also was unable to find an academic advisor in the architecture=20 department whom I could work with. Thus, my application was not=20 accepted. * rejected P.I.L. Independent Study application http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/pil/ this meant I had no architectural future in the University and would=20 have to leave it to pursue public research. By doing so, I would be=20 considered crazy, as I was not making 'rational' decisions by=20 continuing this pursuit to my own personal detriment. The atmosphere=20 was one of being perceived by others as not knowing what is 'good for=20 me' and needing bureaucracies to decide what is reasonable for me to=20 be doing, such as working in a Coca-Cola factory. . start researching online, in lieu of being able to pursue my ideas in=20 the local environment, in hopes that somehow i can find a way to=20 continue my education... * first 'Architecture and Electricity' post online http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/texts/alphae.html HEALTH: Without institutional support in an official independent study=20 program, the individual student was prescribed psychiatric=20 medications so to explain 'irrational' behavior in a suitable way to=20 others, i.e., the person is mentally ill for pursuing ideas that the=20 institutions are not ready to accept or allow as legitimate decisions. Thus, the individual learner is cast out of the educational=20 environment, and is on their own. The free pursuit of truth and=20 knowledge in educational disciplines is limited by institutional=20 power and its rote bureaucracy. ~~~ SPACETIME: 1993-1994, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. enroll in various=20 multidisciplinary classes outside of any formal degree tract, just to=20 learn. EVENTs & ANALYSIS: study Science and the State with professor Donald Geesaman at the=20 Hubert H. Humphrey Institute for Public Affairs, a genuine public=20 philosopher. some essays and ideas that bubbled to the surface of the=20 mind during that influential time include: * Window (1993) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/dg/window.html * The Spectrum from Truth to Power and Constitutional Relativity http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/dg/spectrum.html * Text to Self (1994) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/dg/text2self.html * The Architect of Policy http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/dg/policy.html * Being a Student in the Transition http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/dg/dg.html ... some evidence that i was conducting computer searches of public=20 libraries in an effort to find books related to the cultural aspects=20 of technology during this specific period of time, in order to work=20 my way out of the predicament i was inside: * computer search for 'technology' (1993) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/dg/library.html ... simultaneously take a class on the United Nations with professor=20 Knutson and submit the following paper for a final project which=20 received a nearly failing grade at the time. The paper explored the=20 realm of telecommunications and energy systems in relation to=20 international governance and public representation. * The Architecture of the United Nations (1993) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/AUN/main.html most of this paper was written to try to explain 'why' one would=20 write such a paper, yet it still was not good enough. ... about this same time i attend a metal sculpture class and design and=20 build two symbolic electrical artifacts: * Electrical Crucifixion (1993) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/icons/crucifixion.html * Automatic Streetlight (1993) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/icons/light.html these become foundational for me, by putting the ideas and experience=20 in a tangible form, in relation to the world around me and the world=20 inside me, in conflict. HEALTH: Donald Geesaman was the best teacher i have ever had. a true=20 philosopher. As the question was never answered in advance, and=20 always contemplated again and again. His work influenced me greatly and aided in my 'mental-health' in=20 that he did not treat me as crazy but as someone who was questioning=20 the world around them, the goal of education. This helped me to=20 continue on, despite a threshold that would be with me for years=20 which i could never break through. But the ideas, and the freedom of=20 thinking that Geesaman shared was truly inspirational and i will=20 always admire his humanity and graciousness and daring to think while=20 in the University. his work helped me ground my mind, in the realm of=20 science in relation to art, and thus a good foundation for=20 architectural research. while making sculptures i was given medicines which made me so=20 unstable i would temporarily be unable to see. It was not due to=20 welding, either. i began to feel psychotic and the medicines, for the=20 first time in my life, made me feel suicidal, as they made me feel=20 crazed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3-- ASCII ARCHITECTURE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: online the Internet Design-List, 1993-present EVENTs & ANALYSIS: go online the internet and write about my architectural ideas on the=20 design-list. find others whom are willing to listen and debate the=20 ideas: here are a few posts which reflect the attempt to break down=20 the issues faced when trying to enact institutional change (language,=20 identity, logic, and power): * sample of ASCII architecture online http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/ascii-arch/ write about the experience at the University of Minnesota College of=20 Architecture and Landscape Architecture (CALA) online the design-list: * private public service (1995) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/texts/service.html receive feedback from professors, students, and professionals that=20 others are experiencing similar limitations, and meet several good=20 friends through this public dialogue. HEALTH: Some ASCII architecture from this time period was kindly published in=20 the book Being On-line, edited by Alan Sondheim, Lusitania press. The academic saga unfolded online and as a result i was in many=20 public debates about architecture, my research, the educational=20 system, and beyond... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4-- NO IDEOLOGICAL EXIT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: 1994~1995, Western Europe and back in less than 30 days Amsterdam, Paris, Venice upon returning to the USA i attend a grant-writing workshop and apply=20 for a research grant with the Charles Lindbergh foundation for=20 cultural research on technology. My proposal is declined without=20 comment. EVENTs & ANALYSIS: fly to Europe in search of architecture, and for opportunities to=20 work on architectural research. It is here that i realize the=20 electrical infrastructure is a common, international aesthetic. For=20 example, in Venice, Italy, all the rooftops of buildings hundreds of=20 years old have television antennas atop them. * cover of hand-made book on universal aesthetics (1994) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/icons/book.html upon returning to the USA i created a handmade book with colored=20 paper and drawings and photographs about the idea of universal=20 aesthetics and its relationship to the electrical infrastructure,=20 which i discovered during my European travels. i used this book as a=20 document to try to logically communicate with my professors, with=20 visual evidence for my public ideas based in fact. again, with no=20 luck. likewise, i realized public utilities and construction sites also=20 shared universal aesthetics via color, material, and form, especially=20 during various stages of a building's construction. This view enables=20 one to relate language with architecture, order, and design. The sum=20 of this work is later exhibited in an online photogallery: * the aesthetics of deconstruction (2000) http://www.architexturez.com/decon/ the common language of construction and demolition across world=20 cultures, which could become the basis for a shared language of=20 design, and of identity. with no money to stay in Europe, and no work for student=20 architectural researchers available, it was necessary to go back=20 'home' and face the inevitable- being institutionalized as a madman.=20 there was and is no way out of this cultural institutional insanity,=20 only ways deeper into its rotten core. i confide in a friend in Italy that i know if i return i will be=20 electroshocked. cannot avoid returning to Minnesota, and thus face=20 the consequences for not 'obeying the rules' of the authorities of=20 the reigning architectural establishment. HEALTH: absolutely crazed. The complexity of my situation, and seeing no=20 probable way out other than death made me try to escape to Europe, in=20 hopes that i could find something to stop what i foresaw inevitably=20 happening if i should have to return, being labeled crazy, on more=20 and more drugs, and inevitably becoming more and more=20 institutionalized, more and more crazy as i pursue this public work,=20 as there was and is no other possible outcome given the total control=20 over thought in the architectural academy. i could not foresee a life for myself in the USA where i could=20 continue my work and be free, within its system, and within the=20 psychology of culture. becoming confused from being processed in the cultural system for not=20 fitting in, i began to worry i lost control over my limited ability=20 to self-determine my future. instead, i faced the chaos and fury of=20 the status quo, and as a consequence was losing my sense of identity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5-- CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: 1994-1995, USA severe psychiatric breakdowns due to complications with prescribed=20 medications, requiring me to hospitalize myself twice to stay alive,=20 as i lose my ability to think rationally due to the enormous=20 pressure, and the hopelessness that nothing can be done to live life=20 outside of the total authority of cultural bondage. EVENTs & ANALYSIS: returning to the USA and i had no other choice but to stop=20 fighting the system and passively accept the label of being 'chronic=20 mentally ill' so as to survive, and have my student debt reduced, and=20 to obtain food, clothing, and shelter by the State of Minnesota. ultimately, i had no other choice than to accept i was 'insane' in=20 order to stay alive, a forced confession so to speak, under duress. Instead, my ideas did not belong 'in the real world' and i was=20 institutionalized in the mental health sector and shunned by former=20 teachers and students as being an aberration as i had failed to=20 change anything, and thus was not fit enough to survive the=20 psychological hazing of architectural 'training'. During this time, US Senator Newt Gingrich publicly declared=20 something to the effect that 'if you are perceived as being mentally=20 ill or disabled, then you are'. so, ethically and morally i used this as my guideline for knowingly=20 choosing to accept this paradoxical label in order to survive, as the=20 reason for my mental illness was others who were labeling me as such,=20 while denying all logic, rationality, reason, facts, and the truth i=20 tried presenting at every possible moment in an attempt to fit into=20 the current system, to help change it for the better, in the public=20 interest. This was a completely coerced confession, else i would=20 never get out of the hospital unless i agreed that i was mentally ill. to stay alive i joined a Mental Health Day Treatment program for=20 roughly one year as a certified schizophrenic while reading Deleuze &=20 Guattari's Anti-Oedipus, Schizophrenia and Capitalism. It became a=20 useful tool, and this psychiatric philosophy, or 'schizo-philosophy',=20 offered a type of liberation-in-waiting from the United Statesian=20 worldview. After several months in Day Treatment it was clear that=20 the only way out of the hospital is through total submission, and=20 fully adopting the identity of being mentally ill, and being process=20 through the mental health system, hopefully to come out on the other=20 side. This involved the death of the ego, and also the conceptual=20 death of the individual as bearer of meaning. The future would bring the altogether unexpected, onward... HEALTH: given pills to control my behavior, and continue trying to work=20 within the system to move the ideas forward. given anti-psychotic=20 medications, i start to feel suicidal beyond my own will. working in Minneapolis in landscaping. have to quit because of=20 side-effects of the psychiatric drugs which try to adapt me into the=20 system. So too, my ability to work is ended when taking psychiatric pills and=20 building boulder walls, as i collapse into a fetal position on the=20 ground while outside working in the sun. i am now totally physically=20 and mentally reliant upon the drugs to determine what i can and=20 cannot do, to the point of complete submission, else there is only=20 suicide. unable to work, have to enter the hospital as a way to stay alive,=20 and ultimately the only choice, in order to continue working on my=20 ideas in the system, becomes ECT... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6-- THE ELECTROMAGNETIC LOBOTOMY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: 1993-present, the Internet Design-List reading Sartre's work Being and Nothingness while going into the=20 hospital for ECT. related to ideas of non-being and of an existential=20 process of becoming a self without an identity. post-ECT, it takes 6 years of failure trying to fit back into society=20 that necessitates looking back into these files, in the summer of=20 2001, to accept the consequences and acknowledge the anger and=20 resentment i have for having to undergo such an event in 'the land of=20 the free'. EVENTs & ANALYSIS: i break down and volunteer for Electroshock therapy, as it is the=20 last thing i can do to try to change my situation. i was not coerced=20 in any way to do this by any individual, but by an entire=20 bureaucratic system which makes the individual conform to its needs,=20 and never adapts to the needs of unique individuals. electroshock therapy is and was *torture* in the sense that it became=20 the only choice for me to survive with my public architectural ideas=20 in a despotic system with a remnant of my self intact, so i was=20 hoping. And a future where i might have a different perspective, due=20 to a mental rebooting which, one must trust, i would rather avoid at=20 any cost besides that of death without ever having lived. During hospitalization i decided to create an e-mail discussion list=20 called e-shock for keeping the ordeal public while institutionalized=20 to undergo electroshock therapy during a two week period. i have=20 hardly any memory of this event, but do remember getting my computer=20 out of a locked area in the nurses quarters (where they kept the=20 medicines and dangerous items) and then unplugging the phone in the=20 hallway and putting my 386sx laptop on a small table or chair and=20 dialing up the Internet to send out semi-weekly messages updating the=20 ongoing events via a 2400 baud modem. * E-Shock mailing list posts (1995) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/e-shock/ yet, it was not the ECT itself which was the problem, as it did help=20 in some ways to keep the ideas alive. The problem is that electroshock was the ONLY option to continue=20 working on public ideas, that they are considered mentally ill and in=20 need of reform, or, the literal erasure, and rebooting of the brain,=20 so one has to reformulate their whole universe again. Thus, this=20 event finally made me truly insane, as it was pure torture, and i=20 will never recover what was lost in this destructive attempt to heal=20 me of my 'irrational thoughts', judged so as they did not fit into=20 the University system, and i hold the architectural establishment=20 significantly responsible for denying the public pursuit of=20 architectural knowledge, in order to hold onto the truth as they see=20 it, in a privatized authoritarian worldview. HEALTH: frequently nightmares, the memory of electroshock is so disturbing.=20 many nights when falling into sleep, i remember being prepared for=20 ECT when the shock-doc said- 'Let's Turn it (electrical voltage) up=20 this time..."- which filled me with terror as i fell into=20 unconsciousness in the operating room. post-ECT effects include language troubles, damaged memory, social=20 stigma, illegitimacy, prejudice, psychological issues, etc. After shock it becomes impossible to read. often have short=20 seizure-like events with a brain twitch, a miniature seizure where=20 the brain reboots, similar to that which Virilio describes in 'the=20 Aesthetics of Disappearance.' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7-- MULTIMEDIATED ARCHITECTURE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: 1996-1998, move from Minneapolis, Minnesota to San Francisco Bay Area, Northern California, USA EVENTs & ANALYSIS: attend school for multimedia studies and continue to independently=20 research the relationship between architecture and electricity. apply for a grant from Weblab.org for the Architecture of Electricity=20 project run by the former head of the P.O.V. film series in the USA.=20 my work is again turned down for not being what they are looking for=20 in web content, while they promote their service as something to=20 challenge status quo views of things. Apply for a 2 year scholarship to the SFSU Multimedia Studies=20 Program, then directed by Randall Packer. Move to California to=20 attend school and work independently on public ideas i was unable to=20 pursue in architectural school. in my scholarship application i=20 attempted to explain my paradoxical situation: * Multimedia Studies scholarship application (1995) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/mm/form.html i was grateful to learn many new skills such as digital audio, video,=20 and imaging in a CD-rom based curriculum. later on, i taught myself=20 web skills, and applied all of these newfound skills in producing=20 works online. . As a result of a having time to research, it became possible to=20 develop various aspects of the future Architecture of Electricity=20 thesis for my graduation project. John Young at cryptome.org kindly=20 scanned and posted a document online that i sent out in paper form to=20 dozens of Architectural academics and administrators regarding the=20 research i was developing, and asking for support. i received no=20 replies: * the AE blueprint @ cryptome.org (1997-1998) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/cryptae/AE.htm The result of this blueprint was an online prototype of an=20 educationally-oriented map of electricity and an electrical cosmology=20 to help explain why one would want to rationally define a direct=20 lineage from the Big Bang to the Internet: * Mapping the Electrical Assemblage (1998) http://www.architexturez.com/mea/mea_m.htm * The Story of Electricity (1998) http://www.architexturez.com/mea/story1/2main.htm my work included 3D computer model of a chess set that i described in=20 the Program for Individualized Learning (PIL) application years=20 before... * Electrical Power System chess set (1998) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/chess/1.htm upon graduating from school, receive the Robert Bell outstanding=20 achievement award and share my work online the Internet, but still no=20 one in the field of architecture relates to it, and so i accept that=20 i will need to find work in the field of multimedia, and pursue my=20 architectural research on the side. My main goals were to stay healthy and work my way off of public=20 assistance. both of which prove impossible. HEALTH: went dentist, dr. vu, who asked why i had disability insurance. i=20 said i was mentally disabled. all people in the office were screaming or moaning in pain. young and old. i began questioning the work she was doing on my teeth, as she would=20 just start drilling until she hit a nerve, and then i would demand to=20 know what she was doing and i was assured i had severe problems with=20 my teeth. when i told others about my suspicions, i was considered=20 paranoid. So i was silent and accepted that i must be 'crazy' to=20 question this dentist. In the end, i was given 4 unnecessary root canals, none of which the=20 state would pay to cap, so i had teeth without tops, which were=20 severely infected by unhygienic tools and overdoses and subsequent=20 reactions to antibiotics. In an emergency a relative helped pay for=20 me to visit another dentist as i was in so much pain i could not=20 think. today my teeth are still infected and my health never=20 recovered from having the dentist drill on open nerves and misuse of=20 antibiotics. dr. vu left town without a trace after 'mining' my teeth and many=20 other people using the public health system. ~~~ SPACETIME: 1998-1999 EVENTs & ANALYSIS: although displaying skills often much more diverse than most employed=20 in the multimedia industry in San Francisco, i am unable to even get=20 interviews based on my resume and portfolio. So too, my architectural=20 work and research are of no help in obtaining a way out of total=20 dependency and subservience to the statistical ideal of the reigning=20 bureaucratic worldview. develop a portfolio of my digital media skills for showcasing my work=20 skills for potential employers, in an attempt to work my way off of=20 Social Security. My unique generalist skills are not valued in the=20 specialist marketplace. * SITE (going offline) http://www.architexturez.com/site/ as a public service, develop and maintain an online portal and=20 archive of freely available architectural research and theory texts=20 online the Internet in my spare time, while working on my=20 architectural research. It becomes an established site, on the main=20 page of Yahoo, and has 30,000 plus visitors a year. Yet still cannot=20 find work in the profession. * architexturez.com (being transferred) http://www.architexturez.com/ also create an architectural glossary in an attempt to deal with the=20 pervasive architectural issue regarding discourse and language, in an=20 attempt to find a shared meaning. * The glossalalia project (being transferred) http://www.architexturez.com/glossalalia/ both the architexturez and glossalalia projects are being transferred=20 to a team of online collaborators whom will continue to develop the=20 projects for the public domain. HEALTH: a computer grant was facilitated through the Center for=20 Independent Living (CIL) in Berkeley, California, where the=20 disability rights movement began in the USA, including originating=20 the drive for the American with Disabilities Act and advocacy for=20 disabled rights to work. The goal of the computer grant is to work my way off the Social=20 Security system. The mac-clone enables many things, including=20 reentering the workforce as an independent contractor at SFSU's MM=20 and IT Corporate Training program, helping develop their website and=20 strategy part-time, while also continuing my architectural research,=20 which i desperately need to do to keep my sanity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8-- ARCHITECTURAL DEBATE (SIC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: 1998, the Internet Design-List EVENTs & ANALYSIS: architecture exists online in a way it cannot offline. That is, all=20 of its paradoxes and difficulties cannot be contained in a clean-room=20 environment and philosophical architectures are beginning to form=20 through debates in public forums. There is no 'public' architectural debate, outside the University.=20 But sometimes there is, in some regards, a fish out of water... debated Columbia University's architectural theorist Stephen Perrella=20 in a public forum, the design-list, regarding a Lingua Franca article=20 and the ideas presented therein centering around the idea of=20 'schizo-philosophy' as employed as a radical politic inside the=20 insular circles of architectural theorists inside the University. i=20 called this an absurd theoretical bluff, in so many words. The result was an exchange in the design-list archives... * debate with spN of Columbia University (1998) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/debate/ the debate ended, as if it never happened. spN privately said he=20 would send me a copy of his hypersurface book and then offered me a=20 chance to write in his next book. neither of which happened. And both=20 of which seemed like an opportunistic buyout at the time, as he owns=20 access to the press. For me all of this it was an indication that=20 architectural thought today is highly privatized and controlled=20 inside the University, to the point where it is impossible to have an=20 open, public debate, as those in positions of power with total=20 authority over the interpretation of architectural ideology may risk=20 being wrong or having their ideas proven basically unsound. HEALTH: besides the prevailing prejudice about being labeled schizophrenic=20 and thus, all my work being boiled down to firstly being that of a=20 mad person, dangerous even, and most certainly irrational, no matter=20 how logical or rational or reasonable one may be. They are still=20 nuts, then there is 'certainty' of where they fit into the ruling=20 system of order and control over independent thought. these documents=20 are presented to give the reader an opportunity to review=20 architectural discourse outside the institutional walls which confine=20 architectural truth and knowledge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9-- SOCIALIZED INSECURITY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: 1998-2001 Oakland California Social Security Office is rife with clerical=20 errors, lost data, lost files, do not answer phones or return calls,=20 and are chronically overpay, underpay, and at times totally stop=20 payments, canceling my medical insurance, while i try to work my way=20 off of the 'support' system. My PASS Plan for staying employed as a disabled worker was denied by=20 the San Francisco office of Social Security in the heart of the=20 dot-com economy, as they could not comprehend why one would needs a=20 computer at home to work as a web developer and content designer. The representative went hysterical when i tried to describe how the=20 multimedia industry is different from the industrial model of work.=20 To develop content online one needs equipment to do so, and without=20 it, one cannot keep up their skills, stay competitive, and employed. Another example of the frustration with the Social Security=20 bureaucracy is that when i wanted to take on more hours at my job, i=20 was given the name of a contact to call to find out how much i could=20 earn, without losing my insurance, and they never returned my calls=20 after one month of trying to contact them to find out. EVENTs & ANALYSIS: Upon reentering the workforce I contact several Social Security=20 Administration representatives to make the necessary changes in my=20 governmental support. From this point onward, it became impossible to=20 work and maintain my health on Social Security, as i would be=20 underpaid and overpaid and would be in constant crisis while working,=20 and trying to figure out what went wrong with the bureaucracy became=20 my part-time job, as public money was being wasted. Everytime i found the source of the errors, which were entirely=20 caused by Social Security, i would be charged for the mistakes and=20 have been submitting paperwork and resubmitting it for 3 years (they=20 lose it and do not have a central filing system) just to stay=20 employed. This damaged my health, as working became destabilized by=20 trying to get off the system and it became obvious that unless i=20 could work full-time i would end up not able to work at all. which=20 eventually is what has occurred. i have contacted the head of the local Social Security branch, my=20 Senator two times, and others to try to figure what has been wrong.=20 In the end, i was blamed for all of the errors and now am unable to=20 even talk with a representative as i am considered a troublemaker for=20 trying to fix the problem. because i am labeled with a psychiatric=20 disability any challenge to their logic is seen as my illness and i=20 have been retaliated against and discriminated against, so the=20 bureaucratic system can work the way it does without changing, a=20 familiar theme. i was both denied the opportunity to work my way off of the system=20 because of the constant errors in my checks, never knowing if i would=20 be able to pay rent or not while working, as there was an error in my=20 file. And also, after working for one year searching for a computer=20 upgrade with no success, i applied for a savings program but was=20 denied the right to save money for computer equipment to stay=20 independently employed because of systemic ignorance of today's=20 high-tech working world. The Social Security PASS Plan application forms did not relate to the=20 digital media industry i work in, and thus i would have had to lie to=20 get the grant. The bureaucratic representative could not believe that=20 one needs a computer to work as a web developer. Thus, when my only=20 computer was recently hacked and corrupted for good, i was unable to=20 continue working and now am in dire need of a new system to keep=20 working, continue my research, and remain paradoxically sane in an=20 utterly insane environment. i am more disabled since working and being on the Social Security=20 system than i would be otherwise. It has become a trap cannot escape,=20 as everytime i try to get out a problem it takes all my energy to=20 fix, and months pass by... * first public statement on Taking Pills (2000) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/nettime/pills.html Social Security denies Waiver for overpayment from a mistake 3 years=20 ago that I have worked for 3 years to correct. They review no=20 paperwork, and then tell me i did not provide the data. I believe i=20 am being targeted for speaking up to their system and calling for a=20 review of their procedures to fix the problem, as the public is=20 losing money to a broken system. Have to quit work because computer was hacked and destroyed and=20 health is deteriorating with stress and no future. When recently=20 reporting about my loss of work income, i receive no response after 5=20 attempts to notify the Administration, but a check for $1.00 US=20 instead of the regular amount arrives, threatening my ability to pay=20 rent. Again, for the 2nd time, Social Security has started the=20 process of taking back money without denying my claim for a waiver or=20 appeal from a problem generated by their system 3 years ago. It is too much for me to handle alone now and i have to ask relatives=20 from out of state to represent me as i can no longer write or talk to=20 them, or write letters, as it is now totally out of control and=20 impossible to keep up with, healthy or severely unwell, as i am now. HEALTH: Develop severe anxiety and panic attacks. Start becoming allergic to all medicines i am put on, where i develop=20 hives and welts under my skin. i am put on different drugs and the=20 same things happen, over and over. As i get sicker and sicker as the=20 stress gets more and more. The oddest coincidence is that every time i was ready to work more=20 hours in an attempt to become self-sufficient something with Social=20 Security would go wrong that would take 3 months to deal with, at=20 which point my health would be worse off, and make it impossible to=20 take on more work as fixing all the problems were a part-time job. The only choices were to remaining living on Social Security with 500=20 month or so income from working, per month. else, full-time=20 employment. anything inbetween these would mean i would likely lose=20 my housing assistance, health insurance, and supplemental income=20 should i not be able to pay rent. All or nothing. after half a dozen serious efforts to get off of the system, i came=20 to realize this would not happen for me. So i began to restrategize=20 and focus on my research work as my way out of this situation, even=20 though all my work is considered illegitimate. To do this i needed a=20 computer system to both stay employed as an independent contractor=20 and also to do research work online. After a one year search for public grants, it is clear i will not be=20 able to find another computer to stay employed and work on my ideas,=20 and thus stay sane. i apply for a grant from Social Security to save=20 for work equipment but i am refused, as i am employed, and cannot=20 prove i need a computer to do my work online. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10- ARCHITEXTUALIZING ELECTRICITY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: Y2K, December 31st 1999 and January 1st 2000 EVENTs & ANALYSIS: finish and publish roughly ten years of independent architectural=20 research on the AE thesis website on Y2K. It consists of roughly 100=20 screens of information detailing the cultural significance of the=20 electrical infrastructure in architectural terms, for the layperson. * AE public launch announcement (Y2K) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/texts/aeY2K.html * the Architecture of Electricity (Y2K) http://www.architexturez.com/ae/ A study of the electrical infrastructure compared in relation to=20 classical notions of architecture. at this point it becomes clear that the feedback from JYA of design-l=20 and cryptome.org about addressing the larger issue of=20 electromagnetism and not only electricity is where the future of the=20 architectural research work lies. HEALTH: The only critical feedback on the project received was regarding the=20 lack of a religious perspective on the ideas being presented. upon=20 replying to an e-mail request for why this is so, my work becomes the=20 focus of a well-known religious warrior whom damns my work as that=20 for not addressing this issue. subsequently, i receive e-mail=20 threats, strange phonecalls, and other visitors requiring security=20 measures. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11- PUBLIC DISINFORMATION ZONE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: 2000, online the Internet printed in a Hong Kong-based international design magazine. EVENTs & ANALYSIS: no one in the field of architecture or cultural research in the USA=20 will publish nor even read my work, including old student friends,=20 likely for fear of losing expertise over their version of=20 architectural reality, by insulating themselves from uncertainty.=20 Thus, the audience i focus on is everywhere but in the closed system=20 that is today's USA, unable to adapt to the present. The specific circumstances which led up to the AE thesis, that is to=20 say, the story behind the thesis, was left out for the most part, as=20 the reviewers of family and friends did not like the ending. So it=20 was rewritten so as to not mention E-Shock. Yet, without that=20 dimension, it appears just like any other boring work of research,=20 and just another thing, when it has been so highly controversial as=20 to be censored and actively dismissed. Thus, it seems appropriate to=20 put the work in its original context, after having learned that the=20 process of the work is as important as the work itself, in=20 understanding it: * original unedited AE Epilogue (Nov.1999) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/AE/aftershock.html the 'red' texts were left out of the final version in addition to the=20 images of the electroshock experience because people were so=20 disturbed by how i connected the experiences as a product of the work=20 itself, a connection which i maintain is relevant to this day. After posting the Architecture of Electricity, i wrote a synopsis of=20 the thesis in an essay which is published by Hinge Magazine in Hong=20 Kong in the summer of 2000. * Electromagnetic Architecture (2000) http://www.electronetwork.org/features/essays/ema.htm this gives me great hope in that it is the first time anyone has=20 accepted my work. The article was made to be very palatable to a=20 general audience and yet still is written for architects. This helped=20 me greatly to believe that someday my work may be seen by others,=20 outside the total control over information by architectural=20 institutions in the USA. also write a poem about the end of the public Internet * death of the internetwork (2000) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/nettime/deathnet.html HEALTH: getting sicker yet, having nightmares often and also panic attacks so=20 badly i cannot go outside at times. suspected of being complications=20 from psychiatric pills i was still able to go to a specialist doctor,=20 whom after months of tests concluded i do have nerve damage which is=20 highly unusual for a 30 year old person, and then said it will only=20 get worse with age. My ability to speak, write, and think rapidly deteriorates, i am=20 dizzy often, off balance like i may fall over, and am now even more=20 fatigued to the point of needing to close my eyes during the daytime,=20 yawning all day, and developing various nervous ticks which appear=20 during times of stress. My request to see a neurologist is denied, as=20 there is not enough evidence i may have some more severe problems. i am told all of my symptoms are that of post traumatic stress=20 syndrome, previously known as 'shell shock.' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12- ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERNETWORKING ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPACETIME: 2000-2001, online the Internet. interest and support for my research work from European and Indian architects EVENTs & ANALYSIS: i am contacted by a Swiss architect and asked to write a proposal for=20 an article in an upcoming special issue of 2G magazine on=20 Architecture and Energy, published in both Spanish and English. This=20 opportunity lets me write thoughts about the larger issues related to=20 the electrical infrastructure as a cultural assemblage and my=20 proposal is accepted. Because of my situation, i am unable to accept payment due to the=20 inevitable loss of housing and healthcare and i am also denied by the=20 Social Security PASS plan the right to save the money i could have=20 made to help buy the computer equipment necessary to stay employed in=20 the multimedia industry, and to continue my work. i rewrite the essay and make it into a website with graphics and=20 animations, non-copyright, and instead have to ask for donations of=20 computer equipment as I cannot risk losing my benefits as i could end=20 up further institutionalized and even homeless due to the many rules=20 that conflict with one another and the bureaucrats that decide the=20 fate of the individual by an illogical economics of institutionalized=20 subservience. During the period prior to launching the project online, my computer=20 comes under attack, and i need to send out the maps i was working on=20 for the project and an essay to make my work public, as i fear that=20 my work may be destroyed before i could get it online. With some luck, and a public presence, i am able to launch the Seeing=20 Cyberspace project online to a few e-mail discussion lists: * Seeing Cyberspace project launched (7/2001) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/seeing/ after publishing the full-text essay on a three e-mail discussion=20 lists, there is a large response from the .mil, .edu, .com, .eu,=20 .org, and .int domains. It is again ironic that so many people "on=20 the job" from high-profile domains are visiting a mentally insane,=20 college dropout's work, and makes one wonder why they are visiting.=20 As i am not getting any better, and weird things are now happening=20 with my computer and website... * interesting visitors during June-July 2001 http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/energy/visitors.html it then becomes clear i am under cultural attack, not by any one=20 person, but by a United Statesian cultural ideology that cannot deal=20 with ideas it does not condone... it seems i am becoming a terrorist=20 for 'thinking differently' in my own country, and being terrorized=20 for using my rights as a public citizen...

My=20 dial-up IP address is then blackholed so that i cannot even send=20 e-mail to topica.com to let them know what has happened to try to fix=20 the situations. next, one definite act of physical surveillance is noted, where a=20 private website with logfile monitoring is visited by a company whose=20 business sign i was looking at while outside having a cigarette late=20 at night. i wake from sleep the next morning to find this company has=20 visited my private website, an event so statistically improbable that=20 i can only assume that i am under some kind of surveillance from=20 across the city street. computer is then hacked into and the soon to be launched=20 electronetwork.org website defaced. web server e-mail being=20 monitored, as accounts which post with at random have long download=20 times (several minutes) while non-accounts on same ISP have no delay.

All passwords are corrupted. even my PDA=20 repeatedly breaks during these very strange events.

EVENTs & ANALYSIS: i try one last time to fit into the system. There was a position for=20 a content developer at Sea-Change, a George Soros funded organization=20 for social entrepreneurs. It is based on the concept of using private=20 capital and resources to serve the public good. highly-qualified, i=20 was passionate about working with them as a content developer, and=20 also applying for a grant as a social entrepreneur. i never got interviewed for the job. nor an e-mail after twice=20 querying the status of my application. It was as if i never sent in=20 my application, essays, urls, and ideas they requested. It was as if=20 i did not even exist, although i knew i was the one for the job. It=20 is what i believe in. instead, looking on their website two months=20 later i find that an editor from a well-known non-profit is selected=20 whose skillset seems to match only 10% of the job description,=20 whereas my skillset matched more like 90% of the qualifications. That=20 was my job, and i didn't even have a chance of getting it, for=20 reasons i have tried to not accept as true. The result is writing=20 this story as an alternative. i tried to fit in, and, well, it didn't=20 work. So i'm changing strategies now. The wealthy and powerful executives of many a corporation lead this=20 effort to enact social change, to change things for the better.=20 private industry in service of the public. a great but very=20 troublesome idea that could work, if its paradoxes were acknowledged=20 and dealt with openly. That is to say, that the social goals are=20 public goals, not those of private industry. This is an essay i wrote for their writing sample on the idea of=20 philanthropists funding public social entrepreneurs: * social venture capital (3/2001) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/change/ at the same time i applied for a grant as a social entrepreneur. My=20 computer being recently hacked and barely operable, i decided it was=20 time for me to tell the truth, or my side of the story, that of a=20 public citizen who was working on public ideas on their own, without=20 any resources, and who would be able to make significant progress=20 with these goals if given a chance, and some support. i was ready to=20 make things happen. The fighting spirit was still alive, even though=20 i was under attack for my ideas online and off. After one month of filling out and then revising the online=20 application, the answer to my initial question as to whether or not=20 one has to be a legal nonprofit is answered contrary to a previous=20 answer e-mailed to me, and my application was instantly null and=20 void. i need to be a business, they now said with an apology, to be a=20 social entrepreneur. In addition to this 'my story' was critiqued as=20 not being relevant to being a social entrepreneur. As it was my=20 personal experience. not about the social entrepreneurial ideas, but=20 about me as a specific and discrete individual. i wrote back to=20 SeaChange stating that i am my ideas, and these are public ideas.=20 They are human ideas, and not just private aberrations. It is so odd to know that others can dismiss as irrelevant the lived=20 experience. what is a social entrepreneur if not first an authentic=20 individual human being? my answers to both 'obstacles encountered'=20 and 'major risks' were viewed as `out of bounds,' it seems. This act=20 of turning away from the truth, from seeing a human being who is=20 dying for their beliefs, for the pursuit of the public good, to be=20 simply dismissed away, even while this life form is in such a=20 precarious position as to be on the verge of extinction, and to do=20 nothing but turn away-- it is unconscionable and a horror that our=20 hypocritical societies of bureaucratic democracies look the other=20 way, as a holocaust of human rights is now underway reenacted by the=20 machinery of the world estate. * feedback on SeaChange application (7/2001) http://www.electronetwork.org/works/automadness/nochange/ request to be taken off of San Francisco based Creative Disturbance=20 website project for funding artists. having received no responses for=20 the year my work was on the site, and seeing conservative,=20 institutional projects get profiled, I asked for removal. vetted as=20 to why by the director Mark Beam, i respond that i do not want my=20 work affiliated with an institution that does not serve me. i do not=20 believe in that the work of creative disturbance is funding is=20 anything that is challenging to the status quo, but only what the=20 reigning marketplace wants to legitimate.

The=20 teachers in architecture school made sure i was seeing a psychiatrist=20 when they abused their power by denying all truth which refuted their=20 subjective beliefs. i got pills and they got their paychecks and=20 tenure. This too will change. i am no longer going to accept that=20 individuals who are in positions of power are not responsible for=20 their actions. i hope they will change, or leave the University and give someone=20 else the chance they have denied others.

i write as if their very existence depended on it. repeatedly: i write myself into existence; i write myself out of it. but the existence is tinged with labor throughout - it is the laboring of an existence fragile and wavering literally beyond belief. if i could only make a statement and hold to it; if i could only connect a series of statements, almost as if they were axioms "as if to say." it is my strength and weakness that such connections are governed by laughter, and the statements themselves, by misery. i am one of the few who constantly see through myself. i know about failure from within, the rapidity of existence, the inability to seize time for an instant. the darkness is overwhelming: it is the darkness of the first and last, and only in the midst of chaotic neutrality is the semblance of being manifest. holding to the book: holding memory in place throughout the vicissitudes of life. a continuous series of failed projects tends asymptotically towards truths that otherwise remain submerged; as it is, they are external to symbolic foreclosure, forms of meanderings more at one with dark matter than luminous and momentary gravity. i could never tell you where the statement might be; what might be the equivalence of the book; what might be its destination or distribution; who might read what could be interpreted as a tropology of illness. i could never tell you the statement, or "make it" in any sense, nor is there a concept which holds fast, the "one good idea" that each of us is supposedly destined to express. it is the "nor" that grips me, the "neither this nor that," the "not both this and that," the dissuasions of propositional logics and their fundamental modes - the superimpositions of gestural logics and their organic gestures towards the frisson and trembling of being in relation. if only i could write of the rush of letters, the stream of meanings, shape-riding semantics in the depths of the night! if only utterance were at home within me, if there were set themes ready to be expressed, clouds and darkened flows "just" about to turn or return to the symbolic. instead the dance is always around - and it is a dance - a fire elsewhere,beings i could almost see in the dim light, theoretical constructs about to emerge out of a communality i witness, but never partake in. even the play of the world escapes me; i search for books within it; i search for the finality of the word, deconstructing at a rush, fevered with disbelief, exhausted with being. what is "out there" is never a "what," never "out there"; what is out there is insufficient. biography, autobiography, flattens and disenchant, transforming theory and abstraction to the incidental. scaffolding becomes anecdote and complexity is reduced to the despair of a sleepless night. the book that calls me forth is otherwise, effacing in the midst of the call, denying in its insistency. it asserts the "it" "itself," creating presence in absence, ontology in the midst of chaos. it is the engine or process born of desire; it has no otherwise existence. i fight constantly to ensure that its contents and index reflect something beyond that, that desire does not become circumstance, that circumstance does not turn thought of the world into diary. no life is "worth living" and not in the book which calls me. the book is an addiction. the book is an inescapable addiction, raging, regulated, in the absence of drugs, called forth in clarity, self-inscribing. not worth living, but a medium of the world, circumstantial mediation or re/mediation in denial. this denial, rhetoric, flight, are characteristic of that philosophy of dedication inhabiting me like an illness; they are symptoms of the book; they fumble within me; they lock themselves within me; they hold my mind in its insufficiency. they are my promise of redemption. i deconstruct the possessive, calling on methodologies i recognize as already used, carrying their own stain, their own historic shame. thinking must always cast aside the stigma; thinking must never replace it with the taint of purity. this is what i have been promised, speaking to others through myself: these are the words of the book. never written, this too a cauterization of a wound refusing to heal. i cannot write the book "i desire" - that is my failure, not that of the book. even the sentence is a sentencing; what is left to say falls to pieces. indeed, there is nothing beyond the introductions. like any other illness, a compulsion to write, to rectify, to bring down the house, to absolve rectification, to slant. to comprehend illness as a symptom, the momentary apparition of being. "i desire," "my desire." the writing of submergence. the writing of the remnant, remains. the writing of being-submerged, submerged writing. the book, my book, the book. =3D=3D=3D -- __--__-- Message: 10 From: "LADEN" <LADEN@lothringer13.de> To: <LADEN@lothringer13.de> Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2001 16:18:49 +0200 charset=3D"iso-8859-1" Subject: [Nettime-bold] |_ /\ |) (- |\|: SUN SET 11.8.-9.9.01 Reply-To: nettime-bold@nettime.org program angels proudly present *|*|**|*|**|*|**|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*| Petra Gerschner SUN-SET 11.

In the context of Porto 2001, the Program on =ABThought, Science and Interdisciplinary Projects=BB is promoting an International Conference on cyberculture, entitled =ABLiga=E7=F5es/Links/Liaisons=BB, which is curate= d by Jos=E9 Bragan=E7a de Miranda e Maria Teresa Cruz. The event will take pla= ce in Serralves Museum (Porto) from the 29th October to the 2nd November. Researchers and artists will be invited to react to the theme of the conference and all collaborations will be gather in the website and in a book to be published on the date of the conference. Each one will react to these questions, in five specific sessions: free links; strange or uncanny links; dangerous links; entangled links; on-off links. In conjunction with this event, Virose and V_2 Organisation have put together a contest consisting of the development of web.art projects. The contest is intended to promote projects of an experimental nature, as should any kind of initiative of this sort. As such, multiple and varied responses are expected, but these should not drift away from the proposed Links themes. However, there shall not be any limitations to the creative conception of Links, which should be developed in a conceptually expansive form or manner. The competition is open to any art project designed and developed specifically for the Web and produced after the 1st of January 2001. The deadline for submission is the 5th of October 2001, along with the submissions form properly filled out. The Juries final decision will announce the winner. The decision will be communicated to the winning participants on the 31st of October 2001. The US $2500 prize money will go to the best project in competition. Runner ups shall receive a written statement for their participation indicating the outstanding quality of their projects as well as an invitation for future developments within VIROSE's activities.

The shame to be a human being did grow within him after having survived the holocaust. Levi wrote that the shame to have been tortured, to have been treated in a way that cannot be seen in parallels to other treatments, did grow in himself after the liberation of the concentration camps. This is one factor that helps to see Marcello Mercados work =93The Capital=94. The videofilm is a work in progress since years, it is findin= g now its shape. The actual state is 70 minutes long. Most time the capital is formed by moving abstract colours and an overhelming soundscape. The film is not all the time abstract. This has to do with the second factor: Of colourmaking and of abstraction. The color Fra Angelico became famous for - the Fra Angelico blue =96 goes back to lapizlazuli stones. Very expensive stones and a very long and precious way were necessary to produce colour from these stones. Marcello Mercados colours go back to Super 8 films: films of tortured persons in Argentina. It is found footage material that someone gave to him. Mercados colour productions starts from these images. He shows this basic images at the end of the film. At the end of the film one starts to feel shame, shame to have liked colours and forms that have been abstracted from yellow, blue, deformated, burned bones and organs. Marcellos work challenges an old definition of what is true or not. True is when mental concepts are adequate to the things they represent. Three questions do arise immediatley: What is a mental concept? What is an adequate representation? And what are things? Stefan Zweig discusses aspects of this questions in the context of the theory of novel. Zweig argues that Dostojewskis novels are beautiful because they are truly lived through: The writer Dostojewski did live through all the cruelties and tortures he is writing about. This enabeld him in the interpetation of Zweig to represent Russia in a true that is adequat form. Zweig argumentation assumes that art is overhelming when an adequation between the representing artists and the represented reality is taking place. This is highly problematic. At minimum in two regards: First because Dostojewski did need a central idea (in his case: the idea of the becoming moral superiority of russia) in order to maintain and persue the construction of his novels, second because the adeqution is a relativ criterion. At the same time, but in a different geophilosphical context the definition of adequatio is not connected with an action of the soul, but to well working technology (see for example the biologist Ernst Haeckel). How an adeqution is performed can be discussed in terms of geophilosophical and epistemic conditions. Marcellos Mercados The capital reflects this. Like Dostojewski he has survived extreme situations, but in difference to Dostojewski Marcello does not construct a central idea in order to organize his expressions. Marcello uses distinctly technology in order to question what he has seen and suffered. Flint- and Paintbox =96 Techniques are used as optical devices who do shape another view on the phenomena to express. This enables him to step beside his powerstation of sensations and to discuss them from a different angle. Colour options and geometric constructions are such angles. They are laid out in the programm of the machines. But this angels are not focussed by a fleeing point, but by an open horizont formed by a critique on capitalism. The Capital of Marx serves in the Capital of Mercado as an open horizont of questions (not as stock for clear ideas that may order actions and events) and as an invitation to discuss the fact of torture and cruelity in a post-colonial time.
