New York, NY - Richard Metzger, Creative Director for The Disinformation Company Ltd. announced the details of the much speculated upon Disinfo.Con today. Disinfo.Con will be the first event of its type in New York since the legendary Nova Convention, honoring author William Burroughs, in 1979. Featuring a line-up of speakers drawing from the best of the underground media, new science and far fringes of the art scene, Disinfo.Con 2000 will turn New York City's majestic Hammerstein Ballroom into an 11 hour Technicolor dream house of revolutionary thought, visionary art and lysergic lectures. The event will be "one part rave, one part performance, and one part mind fuck," according to Metzger. The event brings together many of today's most important thinkers including Cyberculture pioneer RU Sirius, comic book artist Grant Morrison, elder statesman of conspiriology Robert Anton Wilson, future culture "queen" of all media Genesis P-Orridge, visionary artist Paul Laffoley, outsider artist Joe Coleman, new media pundit Douglas Rushkoff, and Feral House publisher Adam Parfrey and several other major names to be announced in ensuing weeks.. The event will also feature a Conspiracy Theory Roundtable featuring publisher and researcher Kenn Thomas, Robert Sterling, editor of The Konformist, editor Greg Bishop, and conspiracy theorist and academic Jodi Dean. Paleo-psychology and mass behavior expert Howard Bloom will present a special video lecture. There will also be an exclusive preview of the new Disinfo Nation TV series produced for Channel 4 in the UK, featuring a behind the scenes look at the Montauk Project, a biographical short about Timothy Leary, the brain damaged snuff film carnage of "Uncle Goddamn," Salvador Dali advertising Alka Seltzer and more! Disinfo.Con 2000 will take place on Saturday February 19, 2000 at the Hammerstein Ballroom, 311 West 34th Street off of 8th Avenue in New York City. Doors open 10 am; the event starts at 11 am and finishes at 11 pm. The Ballroom is walking distance from Penn Station and The Port Authority Bus Station.
