this is much more important than any discussion of 'quasi scientific waffle' or any other form of art bollox for that matter, which to my mind is the prerequisite curse of most bourgeoisie, modernist, conceptualisms anyway and not just the premise of ICT related work is anyone actually thinking of doing anything about this abomination ?? is Graham Mckenzie not going to be pilloried to quit for this disgusting example of 'maximising revenue streams' these are the neologistics of our time that disturb me most, employed so frequently within the 'creative industries' which are supposed to be the salvation of art and artists (is that pre or post fordian by the way ?) yet are nothing other than a means of control and clamping dissent or any true critique it'll be interesting to see how many people still aspire to exposure in this space now, or continue to put money behind the bar and, alternatively, how many are willing to fight for an important arts space that has so obviously been hijacked interesting also that this should surface, just as hard rain is looking likely to fall upon baghdad again unfortunately i'm just heading off to yorkshire for a week of computer-free family-ness and won't be able to continue contributing to anything that might arise here, but when i get back i would like to communicate with anyone of like-mind and discuss ways of demonstrating against this with action, not just words art and artists have enough hurdles to overcome in this country without being associated with the military industrial complex and their trade of misery and butchery peace mark lawton ------------------------------------------------- a m b i t : networking media arts in scotland post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] info: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and write "info ambit" in the message body -------------------------------------------------
